What it's for. A clock for the night. It starts when your session starts, tracks how long you spend in each phase, and gives you a quiet nudge when a phase runs over its budget — so the Objective doesn't quietly eat the Climax.

How to run it

• Pick the mission you're running — its Run Sheet supplies the phase times. (No run sheet? You get the standard 25 / 15 / 60 / 40 / 20 default.)
• Start when play begins. The big clock is your whole-session time; each phase tracks its own.
• Begin phase as you move through the night. When a phase passes its budgeted time, its bar turns red and you get one gentle warning.
• Pause for breaks; Reset at the end. The clock survives a page refresh.

The phase budgets are guidance, not a stopwatch to obey. They exist so you notice the drift, not so you rush the table.
