Keeping track of game time

[Niles]

I think a great tool that I wish would be included in the rulesets is an internal clock, not one that tracks real time, but game time. My players and I always have difficulty determining how much time has passed and when we need an extended rest. It's usually more like, "Hey we haven't rested for awhile, I guess we should take an extended rest." I don't know how this could be accomplished, maybe if you added a grid to every map and it was also tied in to combat tracker, an internal clock could add up how much the company has traveled according to the grid and how much time has elapsed according to combat tracker. How do you guys keep track of time?

I estimate time spent doing "stuff" and occasionally advance the clock in the calendar: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/wiki/index.php/Calendar

Combats takes a matter of a handful of minutes at a maximum, most not even 10 rounds (1 minute). I usually don't track time spent in a combat as there is rarely any need for that level of detail.

If the group is travelling overland it's pretty easy to work out how much time it takes to travel based off the slowest member of the party and update the time in the game calendar as needed.
