Encounter Sheets to consolidate the mayhem of large Multi-enemy battles

Hi all, As the game progresses, especially at higher levels, I find myself (as a GM) jumping between many Monster character sheets during an encounter.  In addition I may have Lair Actions, Legendary actions, or notes about the encounter that I am trying to juggle and remember.   I would love to see an "Encounter Sheet" option to streamline these larger, often more Epic encounters.  Ideally it would have a Token on the GM layer so that when the players hit a certain spot I can one-click it open.   The "Encounter Sheet" could have the following features 1) Encounter Name 2) Encounter description - free text I could write-in that I may want to read to the players. This could include a picture window to be able to show the players while reading the encounter description 3) Encounter Notes - Reminders about difficult terrain, cover, magical effects 4) Encounter Events - a place to add Macros for special actions (Traps, Lair actions, Legendary actions, round-based events) 5) Tabs or Grids for having Multiple Monster character sheets in the same window.  I am not sure how exactly this would work, but the idea would be to prevent having to open 4-5 different monster character sheets in separate windows. Just a thought  Blackcloud
What a capital idea Blackcloud. You sir are a gentleman and a scholar. I would love this feature as it's currently hard to manage everything going on with a campaign when my idiot players are constantly trying to derail my attention by asking stupid questions and spamming GIF's. Have my upvote!
I have a son with no bones, but when I added this feature to my roll20 campaign he grew new Bones.  Think of people like my son and add this feature.
At first I was going to say "That sounds like something you can add in a handout and just have it open during the encounter." ... But then I read the rest and saw the macros and the tabs/grids.... Yeah can't use a handout for that unfortunately. Or if it IS possible, then it's most likely super tricky, especially since the text-editor is.... eh.... let's just say I've used better text-editors in other places. xD So yeah, this sounds like a GREAT idea! :) I'd love to have something like this! I support it, all the way, 15 thumbs up! (don't ask where I got he other 13 ones)
A good idea! My vote is added.
