I decided, with the size and complexity of the battle, that it'd be sensible to have some kind of prop so that we didn't all end up with different mental pictures of the battle and talking at cross-purposes. <br /><br />The idea was to provide a feel for the layout and relative positions of things, not a scale model. The coloured tokens I used are printouts from various PC and monster illustrations, lovingly sized and printed, and covered with scrap laminate from work (we get tons of scrap laminate). I created loads of these (literally hundreds) for use in my old 4E campaign, where miniatures are basically essential; I found it easier having roughly correct tokens for each monster, rather than using-as all the time. Also, I have to admit, there's a load of beautiful and fascinating art out there, and the process of finding art, then setting up, printing and laminating the tokens pushed my compulsive buttons. Not sure they'll ever repay even a fraction of the effort, but... I still think they're kinda cool.Shimmin Beghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10350037986748679919noreply@blogger.com
