🕒 TTRPG friends — I made a free app to track Progress Clocks for Blades in the Dark!
Create & manage multiple clocks with custom colors and segments.
Great for GMs running digital or hybrid games.

We propose a new Species Deviation Index (SDev) that captures both losses and gains of native species offering a clearer picture of riverine fish community change.

Sites with high deviation often align with human pressure points:
