Add a spendable Resource Pool

Like many RPGs and boardgames,  Free Spacer uses several resource pools. While some of them are properly added to the crew or ship sheets, the game also has a GM resource called Complications. This resource need to be visible to the players on every page to help build tension and for the GM to spend during play. Likely it could be added to a variety of the currently suggested Roll20 updates (such as GM sheets or Group sheets), but I really wanted to call it out as something I need.

Cool suggestion. XophRA, as a Pro subscriber perk of Roll20 you can use the API, which can help very greatly with your request. Ask about your concept on the API sub-forum too. I think you will get some hits from there.

Thanks Gold. I'll do that after I get a chance to dig around in the API stuff, but I haven't had the chance yet with all the work I'm doing on the game.

Understood, XophRA. Just to help save you time, and so you know since you have not looked into API yet: with PRO you have access to the API, and the API means 2 things. One is that you can program (or get someone to program) custom solutions for you. Another aspect of API is that there is already a community-created repository of API that you can install simply by one-click, or by copy-and-paste someone else's code. Many API tricks are already made and just need to be installed (by you). There may be a community-created API that can already create a resource-bar, and/or the API might need to be customized to fit your exact needs, which someone else on API forum can answer best. I know that I have seen others using API to make progress-bars so there is some work done in this area.

Indeed Gold, I had heard this; it is reason 2 after the custom character sheet that I signed up for Pro. I will make time soon, to get into it and figure it out. Your friendly replies has given me an idea. I think I will post my desired user experience for Free Spacer on the API forum and track my progress there. Then other more experiences Roll20 Modders will be able to give me this sort of advice as I work. Thanks!
