There are multiple ways to use cards for initiative in Roll20. The most basic one is that the GM plays the cards on the table while saying for who the card is and the dragging it to a place that is designated as in front of the corresponding player (e.g. "Dave sits at the top of the screen, Luke on the right, Jeff on the left. I the GM sit at the bottom."). Depending on how much is going this might not work very well. It is also possible to play cards into the hand of players so that they are visible to everybody. Unfortunately it is a bit difficult for the GM to keep track who has which card.

It is also possible to use the Turn Tracker with cards. Tokens can be added to the Turn Tracker right clicking on them and choosing the Add Turn options from the pop-up menu. The GM decides who gets his own cards and who is grouped together. If a token in the Turn Tracker represents a group of extras the highlighting obviously does not work correctly. Also, don't delete dead tokens because if you delete the one token you chose to represent a group, the group also disappears from the Turn Tracker. The better choice is to mark them dead with a token indicator overlay.

Here is how you can use the Turn Tracker and still keep some of the excitement of "dealing the card". The GM calls out who he is dealing for and draws a card from the stack. This is done by clicking on the card that sticks out on the top of the stack. The card is flipped around and the players can see what card it is. The "Show deck to players" option for the deck has to be set for this to work which it is for the default card deck. Then the GM drags the card onto the Turn Tracker. He has to release the mouse when the cursor is over the number next to a token (the number turns yellow then). Let's repeat that, the mouse cursor has to be over the number of the Turn Tracker for this to work, not the card, a corner of the card, or actually anything related to the card. It has to be the mouse cursor. It is easier to see this and get it right if the GM picks the card up on the left upper corner, because then it is easier to see the background color of the number in the Turn Tracker turn yellow. Once the cards are dealt, the GM can open the Turn Order Settings and press the "By Card/Suit" button to sort the Turn Tracker.

A note on the order in which the cards are drawn. The GM can decide to follow a fixed order every time, but it is easier to use the order in the turn tracker, which will be the order in which the tokens were added in the first round and then the order of the previous round. For dramatic purposes, it might also be a good idea to deal the cards for the NPCs first and then for the players.

[edit] Macro for a D00 Die Roll

Covert Ops is utilizes the D00lite rule engine that uses rolls of 0-99 instead of the usual D100 results of 1-100. This means you need to create a simple macro to roll this properly: 

/r 1d100 -1

You can make it a bit more useful by including a pop up asking for the modifier to apply to the roll. The result is then final. 

/r (1d100) + ?{Mod|0} -1

The same as an Inline Roll. 

/em rolls a [[1d100 + ?{Mod|0} -1]]

[edit] Macro for Initiative

Initiative uses a "Roll number of dice, keep highest" mechanic. This macro will open a pop up window and ask you to input your initiative value. The result will be added to the turn tracker for the currently selected token. 

/r ?{Initiative}d10k1 &{tracker}

The same as an inline roll: 

/em rolls initiative [[?{Initiative}d10k1 &{tracker} ]]
