Hey guys, is there a way to assign a group token to my players for running around the map, rather than having multiple character tokens moving around? I want the group token to make use of the line of sight feature

Yes you could create an NPC called 'Party' or whatever and give one of the players control of that NPC and they could move it around. The players would leave their tokens at the start of the map or whatever. Then when they enter combat you would move their tokens to the room that they needed to be. (Hold down SHIFT whilst you drag their tokens so that you don't accidentally reveal any LOS that they haven't seen).

Also I haven't tested this but it should work I think

What my personal group did was give me a marching order and the player in the lead was the party token. Plus it helped me remember who was the one springing all the traps :)

@zacchaeus how do I "give" control of the NPC token to the players? I don't recall ever seeing that option in the contextual menu?
