I'm not sure if there is already an existing way to do this using in FG, but I'm looking for an easy way to increment the passing of time (5 minutes spent searching for traps, 2 minutes spent looting a body etc.) for situations where timing is important.

Right now, I'm just marking off the passage of time on a piece of paper, but this seems to go against the whole concept of the VTT. Using a Story or Notes tab to keep track also seems to be a bit clumsy.

Is there a way to create an entry for this and use the mouse wheel or something to accomplish this? Could this be bundled into an existing extension, maybe?

EDIT: Could a Mod please move this to the Extensions forum?

Use the calendar for day and time tracking: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/wiki/index.php/Calendar

It has the time of day also, which you can increase with CTRL+mouse-wheel. You can click the speech bubble to post the time to the chat window.

Very nice, thank you. I do use the calendar for other things, but forgot about that functionality.
