Time of day

Does anyone have any good tricks to do a lighting based on the time of day it is in game. I'm ok with simple but what I'm doing now is using the invisible token and giving it a grey aura for evening and a black aura for night. I'm really looking for something for early AM so players don't have to ask what time of day is it.

Hi David. I like your method for nightfall with the dark tinting or aura (You can use Tint feature for this, by the way). You could also add some little Torches / Stars / Lanterns / Campfire, that indicates NPC's on map are doing night time activity. While the night gets darker, lights turn on. (Does not have to be Dynamic Light, just visual icons of points of light). I can just guess that a pale orange tint, would help appear as morning-light of sunrise. Here is a different method I can suggest. Get this pack or the Add-On version, or another one from the same artist offerings on Roll20 Marketplace: <a href="https://marketplace.roll20.net/browse/set/1226/sceneficant-maps-theatre-of-the-mind" rel="nofollow">https://marketplace.roll20.net/browse/set/1226/sceneficant-maps-theatre-of-the-mind</a> <a href="https://marketplace.roll20.net/browse/gameaddon/149/a-time-for-treachery" rel="nofollow">https://marketplace.roll20.net/browse/gameaddon/149/a-time-for-treachery</a> Happy gaming!
