Draw Steel: Project Point Tracker

A Foundry VTT module for the Draw Steel system that provides a party-level project board for tracking downtime project progress.

Track career project points, point sources, and completion across your entire party — all from a single GM-facing window.

Features

• Party-wide project board — See all heroes and their active projects in one window.
• Drag & drop — Drag hero actors from the sidebar onto the board to register them. Drag project items onto a hero card to assign projects.
• Auto-import — When a hero is added, their existing project items are automatically imported.
• Career project points — Shows each hero's career name with remaining/total project points and how much has been allocated.
• Point ledger — Every point addition is logged with a source, timestamp, and optional notes. View the full history per project.
• Multiple point sources — Career points, project rolls, guide studied, follower work, artisan/sage perks, hero collaboration, project events, and director awards.
• Progress tracking — Visual progress bar per project showing points earned vs. goal.
• Roll for progress — Trigger the Draw Steel system's native project roll (item.system.rollPrompt()), or fall back to manual entry.
• Point sync — Optionally syncs ledger totals back to the project item's system.points field so the character sheet stays up-to-date.
• Complete projects — Mark a project as complete when the goal is reached.

Requirements

This module only works with the Draw Steel system. It will not initialise in worlds using other game systems.

Installation

Manifest URL (recommended)

1. In Foundry VTT, go to Settings → Manage Modules → Install Module.
2. Paste the manifest URL into the Manifest URL field:

   https://github.com/bruceamoser/draw-steel-downtime-project-tracker/releases/latest/download/module.json
   

3. Click Install.

Manual

1. Download the latest release zip from the Releases page.
2. Extract the zip into your Foundry Data/modules/ folder. The folder should be named ds-project-tracker.
3. Restart Foundry and enable the module in your Draw Steel world.

From Source (development)

1. Symlink foundry-project-point-tracker/module/ into your Foundry VTT Data/modules/ directory as ds-project-tracker/.
2. Restart Foundry and enable the module.

Usage

Opening the Board

Click the hammer icon in the Token Controls toolbar on the left sidebar. The button is visible to GMs only.

Adding Heroes

Drag a hero actor from the Actors sidebar onto the project board window. The hero will be registered and any existing project items on their character sheet will be auto-imported.

Adding Projects

• Automatic — Projects are imported when a hero is first added to the board.
• Drag & drop — Drag a project item from the Items sidebar (or from a compendium) onto a specific hero card on the board. If the item is not already owned by that actor, a copy will be created on their character sheet.

Adding Points

Click Add Points on a project card:

1. Select a Source (career points, project roll, guide, etc.).
2. Enter the number of Points.
3. Optionally add Notes to describe this entry.
4. Click Add to Ledger.

Rolling for Progress

Click Roll on a project card. If the Draw Steel system supports native project rolls, that will be triggered. Otherwise, the Add Points dialog opens pre-set to the "Project Roll" source for manual entry.

Viewing the Ledger

Click Ledger to see the full point history for a project. GMs can delete individual entries from the ledger if needed.

Completing a Project

When a project reaches 100% progress, a Complete button appears. Clicking it marks the project as complete (irreversible).

Removing Heroes & Projects

• Click the × on a hero card header to remove that hero from the board.
• Click the trash icon on a project card to remove that project (ledger history will be lost).

Settings

Access via Settings → Module Settings → Draw Steel: Project Point Tracker.
