Tokens

Tokens for characters are special. When you create a character, you automatically get a token for your character. When you go into the character creator you will see a Token tool on the right side. There you can edit the style and color your character's token.

When playing you can see your character tokens in the Token tool in the session. The character tokens appear at the top of the drawer and can be dragged onto the map.

Supported formats are .jpg, .png, .webp, .gif, .webm, .mp4 and .mov. The file size limit is 100 mb and 5 mb for gifs.

Let's start with the basics. If you want to bring in a token to a scene you have four options.

Option 1: Drag token onto map from your local files

The easiest option is to select an image or video file you have saved locally on your computer and drag into onto the scene. When doing this you will get the option of uploading as a scene or a token.

If you bring in multiple files this way, they will stack in a random order (which is helpful for card or tarot based games).

Option 2: Upload into your token drawer

When you open the token tool drawer you will see all tokens you have uploaded. There you can drag a token into the drawer or click the upload button to add new tokens.

Option 3: Drag character tokens from token drawer

Every character (PCs and GM characters) have tokens, which are created from their Avatars. Those tokens appear at the top of the token tool drawer. You can drag those onto your scene as many times as you like.

Option 4: Drag character token from Character Sheet Avatar

When in a session, you can left-click drag a token from your character's avatar into the scene.

Tokens can be easily selected, moved, rotated, resized, removed, and copy/pasted.

Selecting token. A token can be select by clicking on it with the move tool enabled. If you have select tool enabled then you can also drag to select multiple tokens. All of the following actions can be applied to one or more tokens.

Move token. To move a token you have to have the move or select map tools toggled on. Then you can simply click the token and move it. Other players will be able to see the token move as you drag it.

Copy and paste token. With the token selected you can hit ctrl+c/cmd+c to copy a token, then ctrl+v/cmd+v to paste the token. The token will be pasted where your mouse cursor is. This works only within the same scene.

When a token is selected, the token actions menu will appear. For a player, it is available for their tokens pulled from their character sheet. For a GM, this is available on all tokens. It has the following options:

Rotate token. Once you have toggled Rotate/Resize on, you will see a bounding box around it, with a stick with a ball protruding from the bottom. Click on the stick or ball, and drag to rotate.

Resize token. Once you have toggled Rotate/Resize on, you can click and drag the corners of the bounding box to resize the token.

Label. Input up to 16 characters into the input field to label the token in the scene.

Light/Vision. This option allows for a token to see through @Fog of War without the GM needed to clear it. When chosen, a second menu appears.

Light. This provides an area that clears fog of war, centered on the token, and thusly moves with it. This sight in the fog can be seen by all.
​Vision. This provides an area that clears fog of war, centered on the token, and thusly moves with it. This sight in the fog can only be seen by the owner of the token and the GM.
