![]() ![]() I now have all of the minis that I need for my LFR game, and the maps that I shared yesterday ended up working out great when I used PosteRazor to print them out (I’ve just printed them in black and white for now as a proof of concept, but I know they’ll be fine in color, too). I’m really happy with the way these turned out. On the back of the bandits I put goblins and kobolds (common minions, I think). These include a wererat, a gnome arcanist, some gnome skulks, some guard drakes, and a whole bunch of human bandits (generally minions). I made tokens for the paladin I play in LFR games (Rhogar), the Avenger I’m playing in my in-person game (Kern), Barbara’s dragonborn Runepriest (Zaaria), and the enemies I’ll need for the LFR module. The overall result was awesome, in my humble opinion. Below you can see my first pass at the paladin token (when I was aiming for 1″ exactly) and my second pass (when I went bigger) – the second looks way, way cooler. You’ll want to get a 1″ hole punch (I paid $10 for one at Michael’s – it’s pretty heavy duty) and a bunch of 1″ fender washers (I paid $8 for a box of 100 at the local hardware store) and a glue stick. I like to have no border on my physical tokens – I like them to take up the whole 1″ circle if possible. Play around with the size a little bit I found that you actually want them to be a bit bigger than 1″ across, even though the ultimate size you’ll be punching out is 1″. Rinse and repeat until you have a whole sheet of these tokens:. ![]() From here, follow the instructions from NewbieDM to copy the token to a new letter-sized image (8.5″ x 11″), duplicating the token image, dragging a bloodied layer over it and making the bloodied layer semi-transparent (note that minions don’t get bloodied, so minion tokens don’t need a bloodied image – you can put one minion on one side of a token and another minion on the other side).Drag the image from the top right corner of Token Tool into PhotoShop:.Resize and re-center the image in Token Tool to look the way you want.Also, go with 256 x 256 for the token size Open up Token Tool and drag this new image from PhotoShop into Token Tool.Resize the canvas in PhotoShop to be way bigger than the current image, and fill the additional background space to match the background that came with the image (I recommend using the eyedropper tool to get the right color and the paint bucket tool for the fill):.Find a good image for a token online, such as this one for a paladin:.I don’t own any minis (little statues to represent creatures), so I decided to make my own tokens (little flat representations of creatures) using the guidelines from Newbie DM’s blog.Īfter a little bit of trial and error, I succeeded terrifically. It will be a Living Forgotten Realms game. Victory is mine! In my last couple of posts, I’ve talked about the fact that I’m going to be serving as dungeon master for a real-life D&D game at my local game store, Enchanted Grounds, on July 24, 2010. ![]()
