shrinking tokens

[Flathwrak the Usurper]

Okay, so... I got the Fiery Dragon token packs for my games.. love 'em. But we're running into some problems, since the standard 70mm for medium creatures necessitates cumbersomely large maps.. So I was wondering, would anybody know of a way to automate the process of reducing them to 33mm, similar to the size of the 'alphabet' tokens that FG comes with.

And how would one shrink the other sizes; large, huge and so on proportionately?

Thanks, :)

Photoshop contains a tool to perform the same action to multiple files, if you want to resize.

The other option is to set the token scale, so that the 70x70 tokens fit your map appropriately. All the original DA token packs also have 70x70 as the medium token size.

As long as the file size on the tokens isn't prohibitive for your game, your easiest fix is to just zoom the map till the tokens fit your grid correctly, and then choosing "Lock Token Scale" on the radial menu.

Otherwise most image editors have a batch processing function that will let you do a resize on all your tokens. I know PSP will let you do a batch % resize, so you could get all your tokens in one pass, medium, large, or whatever. (Assuming they all need the same % reduction.)

For the Fiery Dragon Tokens I use the IrfanView utility, its free and easy to use. It has batch processing (in the file menu) so you can tell it to convert a whole directory of pics to a different size. IrfanView's one weakness is it doesn't do transparent tokens - but Fiery Dragon doesn't use transparency in their tokens.
