How about a Timer?

During games I often use time as a device to add tension and make the players think on there feet. For example 'The guard will appear in a minute what do you want to do'. I was wondering if their is a way to add a option of a timer to roll20 that all the players can see and can be set by the GM, that will count down. I just think this would be a neat little tool to add a bit more immersion into the games.

There might be an API script (pro subscription feature) that will do that but I usually just open up the  turn tracker and have a couple special entries so I can just rotate through it to represent time counting down.

Ok thanks.

How about an animated hourglass token that plays the theme from Jeopardy.

I sometimes use music for that purpose. Find a 1 minute song in the jukebox and tell the players they have until the song runs out.

Find the jeapardy theme song.

The song idea would work especially well if it accelerates to a crescendo. =D
