Right now, I'm playing the Melee and Wizard parts of The Fantasy Trip on nights when some of my players are missing, as a means of learning the system and teaching it to my players.
One of my players did not like the way turn sequencing worked and options worked, and I found keeping track of current adjusted Dexterity when the combat phase came around was difficult. Since we're playing online I made a Google Sheets spreadsheet that kept track of things and automated some of the process. I think it will help, but I haven't gotten to try it in a game yet. We'll see.

I've never tried playing online before but I could see those implements helping. Since there's relatively few things to track for any individual character I find that using index cards and a pencil (and doing things like writing down the adjusted dex) usually works well enough. I think it is one of those cases (at least for me) where the free-form nature of paper has a benefit over digital.

I have used this spreadsheet a couple of times now, and it definitely helps for online play, although there are various things that I need to tweak. I think for face to face the suggestion to just use index cards is a good idea.
