Posting Numbers to the screen visible to all players?

I'm making use of the Tension Pool mechanic (as so enumerated here:&nbsp; <a href="https://theangrygm.com/definitive-tension-pool/" rel="nofollow">https://theangrygm.com/definitive-tension-pool/</a>) &nbsp;and I'd like to display a running count of the number of dice in the pool to my players. I can't think of a good way to do this. Is there a script I'm not able to find that may help, or does anyone have any other ideas?

Just an idea... make a new character named "Tension Pool", controlled by all players.&nbsp; Add a new attribute(attributes and abilities tab) named "pool".&nbsp; Create a linked token to "Tension Pool" with one of the bars linked to the "pool" attribute.&nbsp; Then create an ability macro on "Tension Pool" so that all players can roll the number of d6 based on the "pool" attribute.&nbsp; ie "/r @{tension pool|pool}d6"&nbsp; Players can selected the token and see the current pool and/or adjust it using the token radial and roll using the macro.

You might also want to create a rollable table token, with images of the numbers 1- whatever the maximum number of the pool is. Then you can flip the image to show the current number of dice, along with Vince's method to set the number in a tokenbar. This way you have a highly visible sign of the number it is at currently.

If you create a token named Pool, you can add it to the Turn Order by selecting it and running: [[ 0 &amp;{tracker}]] You can then adjust it easily with: [[ ?{num} &amp;{tracker:+} ]] And you and your players can reference it in rolls with: [[ @{tracker:Pool} ]] You can set those up as Abilities on a Pool Character sheet, and make the Token Actions to have easy access to them.
