Description

Allow for GM to limit what information players have access to, for example: Allow players to know what general time of day it is instead of the specific hour: Morning, dawn, dusk, midnight, etc. Allow players to only know what month or season it is, not the exact date. This is useful for survival campaigns or for times when you don't want the party to know how much time has passed. Have the temperature show up as "burning/warm/cold/freezing". All of these things are very useful if you want to have specific info as the gm, but only give players information based on skill checks. This is additional on top of this, but allowing specific players to have access to the specific info would be a nice cherry on top, if lets say a party member has an internal clock or an actual clock on them you as the gm can give them the exact time.
