How do you track initiative at your F2F games?
I built the high-tech device pictured below. The white pins are PCs, and have names on both sides. The blue pins are the enemy, and are only marked on my side. The pins are stacked with high at the bottom (first to go) to low at the top (last). A small green clip it attached to the end of the pin currently active.
This way my players can see the order and anticipate their turn, rolling up their actions while the player ahead of them is resolving his action. It makes for a smooth, quick flow.
Regular NPCs work in groups, major NPCs have their own marker.
