Review on ๐Ÿ“š Mastering Trackers: Role Playing Stratagem for Character Conditions by Stetson Olsen

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not a very good health tracker. It's okay, but that's all.

I was happy to get them for games like Magic: The Gathering or Star Realms. Actually, any game that allows you to monitor your health. The left dial goes from 0 to 20. The right dial goes from 0 to 9. With this you can get numbers from 0 to 209 at the same time. It's a little awkward to read. At the top is a status bar, which is generally only good for RPGs, and at the bottom is a +/- bonus bar, which is for ? I do not know. As for life tracking, it's probably fine up to 209, but anything beyond that can't be tracked. Trackers are made of plastic, much like some plastic card boxes, so they're pretty durable. I found the dials wobbled a bit and the first digit tended to be blocked by the bezel. As you reconfigure the watch faces, the numbers are clear enough to be seen. The design is ok, if a little amateurish. Each health tracker uses graphics and colors to match the titular RPG class like Rogue, Barbarian, Wizard or similar. Bare plastic would have worked just as well, maybe better without graphics, but just a border would have been fine. Good overall, but not very cool for anything other than RPGs. They will work, but not perfectly.
