Turn Tracking for Tabletop RPGs and Initiative Order

Initiative systems are easy to understand and still easy to lose during a busy combat round. The GM tracks the list, but the whole table benefits when the current player is visible.

01

Keep the official list with the GM

The GM still needs the reliable source of truth: initiative order, conditions, delayed actions, and non-player turns.

02

Make the active player visible

A separate visible signal helps players know when to prepare and when to act, especially in larger campaign groups.

03

Use hardware as a table aid

NexTurn is best treated as a table-facing aid, not a replacement for full RPG campaign software.
