Clocks

Starforged introduced a mechanic called "clocks", which Iron Vault has direct support for. There are two main types of clock: Tension Clocks, and Campaign Clocks. Both are represented by a single "Clock" entity in Iron Vault, and it does not distinguish between them. Clocks are managed/advanced manually.

You can create a clock using the Create a clock command. To advance the clock and record the step in your journal, use the Advance a clock command. You can also click on the clock itself, but that will not update your journal automatically. Finally, you can Resolve a clock which will mark it as "incomplete" and remove it from the active clocks listed in Advance a clock.

Schema

The following schema describes the expected structure of clock file frontmatter in order for Iron Vault to be able to treat it as a clock. It is automatically generated by the Create a clock command, and modified by the Advance a clock command.

Key Type About
name text Name of the clock, or a brief description of what it's for.
segments number Total number of segments in the clock.
progress number Number of filled in segments in the clock.
tags tags Either complete or incomplete. Completed clocks are read-only.
iron-vault-kind text (must be "clock") Marks this as a clock file.
default-odds (optional) "small chance" | "unlikely" | "50 50" | "likely" | "almost certain" | "certain" | "no roll" If present, sets the default odds to advance the clock. If "no roll", you will never be prompted to roll.
