What's the difference between "Tokens" and "Pogs"?
Pretty much what the title says. I'm confused. I want more little portraits to use on my character sheets and on maps. What's the difference between "Tokens" and "Pogs"? I don't want to spend money on the wrong kind. What are the best generic add-ons to give me more options? Thanks.

Hi DGLinder,
The style is the difference, square or round another shape.
You can always make your own using the RPGTools Token Tool
https://www.rptools.net/toolbox/token-tool/
Buying the packs gives you access to prettier art or licensed creatures.
Making your own you have to be lucky to find something that looks alike or crop it out of a book.

"Token" is the generic term for any image used to represent a character on a map. "Pog" is a style of token - where the graphic is enclosed within a circular base - the name comes from the drink caps used in the "pog" game - more info on that here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milk_caps_(game)
FG comes with some tokens that are in POG/non-pog format. You can see the difference within FG by activating the following two modules: "Animal Pogs" and "Animal Tokens" and looking at the two in the Tokens window.Private Messages: My inbox is forever filling up with PMs. Please don't send me PMs unless they are actually private/personal messages.

Thanks. I just wanted to make sure there was no functional difference that I was missing.

The functional difference was one made you cool as a kid in the early 90s, and the other did not.
