Asking For Ideas: Tracking Achievements

Howdy good folks. I am currently running a pirate-themed Pathfinder 2 campaign which, when they obtain their own ship, will open up as a rather sandboxy, open world campaign. To give the campaign some structure and some goals, I have a list of achievements which can grant them reputation if they succeed (Like hunting a Dragon or successfully defeating five pirate captains etc.). I... Really lack a good way of tracking it on Roll20, though. I have thought about giving each player a shared, fillable PDF, but that doesn't integrate very well at all. Is there a way to maybe add an extra page to the PF2 sheet or any other fun way to track the achievements for the players?

For specific achievements you are going to need your own spreadsheet or something similar. However if you tie them to a "reputation score" you can easily add a new ability and call to it with a macro that shows their current reputation anytime you want.

You could just use the bio tab on a character sheet and treat it like a piece of paper.

You could create a custom card deck. Each card would show the achievement. As GM, you would control being able to hand them out. Their avatar would show other players how many achievements they have, but only you or they could see which ones they were.

Also allows me to add some cool art or an icon to them and such. Fun!

If I am not mistaken what they want is a way to have all of the achievements listed and then "turn them on" for the players that have gotten them. I think that your solution could be a good way to achieve a similar effect while also giving their players the fun of receiving something that they get "handed" rather than just ticking a box or adding another number.

If you like the card idea, I have written a script for using API commands to deal specific cards .

That looks really handy. My biggest fear is that I would go down the rabbit hole of inventing new card games that are played in my world and forget that Triple Triad was just supposed to be part of the background...
