Tokens for Traveller 2e

[fruitbat]

Anyone know of any decent token sets for Traveller inc Aslan, Droyne & Vargr etc?

Thanks.

[Mallorylover23]

I would also be interested in this. There's a dearth of good tokens for scifi settings, in general.

What would you folks be looking for in the way of tokens? Maybe if a list could be put together, that could give me/us a guide to start building some. This actually sounds like a fun mini project and I wouldn't mind tackling that at some point.

I'd like a range of tokens for the races found in the Traveller universe. Humans obviously but also Vargr, Aslan & Droyne plus a few traveller style/Hard sci-fi aliens e.g. the Bwap etc.

Some could armed but as Travellers typically use a variety of different weapons depending where they are/what they are doing (law level/on ships vs on planet) etc unarmed is preferable for me.

I would try to make them myself but i have all the artistic ability of a paraplegic chicken so it'd be great if someone with a little talent could help out here.

yes, this would be very useful. Also, perhaps a few choices of different colored missiles, to track what type and where each volley is during space combat.

Here is a tool to make tokens

I'd like to chime in real quick as this thread has the chance to pick up momentum.

Aslan, Vargr, Droyne, etc are all intellectual property of Far Future Enterprises (FFE) (https://www.farfuture.net/). Unless they, or Mongoose Publishing under license, give express permission to create and sell images as token packs based on the races of their IP I would advise against making and distributing them as such.

No one has crossed a line yet. I love this community and I don't want to see anyone get in trouble.

However, if you make 'Sci-Fi Cat People', 'Space Dogs', 'Bugs with Lasers', etc token pack please be sure to tag me so I can buy your stuff.

I just googled for Sci-Fi themed tokens and managed to find some on free image download sites - sorry, didn't bookmark the URLs. I need them for the Savage Worlds ruleset too, so it was worth spending time to search. Some of what I found were actually PNG symbol images made for mapping software like Cosmographer, where I also needed them. Such symbols are easy to convert to FGU tokens following the instructions kicking around different forums here. Most of what I've been able to find though are portraits. I did manage to find some top-down character tokens in PNG format, but they're definitely more scarce on the Inter-tubes than portraits. Ship and vehicle tokens are more of a challenge to find, but they're out there.

Nothing I found were official to the Traveller verse, so no FFE IP infringement. It'd be nice to have official ones, but what I have will do.

Sage Advice!

My solution takes some conversion work. Mike Leonard (El Cheapo Products) has a variety of inexpensive paper miniatures and portraits in pdf form for
Traveller on Drivethru, that was released via the Traveller Drivethru community store(TAS). I converted some of the pdf images to png,
and then did the clipping using paint3d, and resizing for FGU token and portrait size. Only done a few so far, when I get time, I will build out
my personal collection.

He has a variety of pdfs, crew folk, future folk(citizens), navy, imperial marines, merchants, spaceport folks, belters, space elf folks(talking to you guys Darrians), Vargr
crew and pirates, Aslan, Hivers, and Zhodani, some gang folk. Very well done. I recommend buying them.

I can not distribute what I did, because I am not the IP or copyright owner, and neither should you. Buy the damn packs and don't distribute them without permission or any converted tokens. But for personal use, for your personal games to make some fine traveler tokens they are great.

Chumbly
(it wold be nice if somebody who knows Mike Leonard, got him to make some token packs for FG for sale. Would buy them in a flash).

Hi,
Just messaged him - though I don't know him - and asked. He's a commercial artist so if he thinks there are people who'd buy his stuff I'm sure he'd be interested.

I have been using an app that goes by TokenTool for a long time. It can be found here: https://www.rptools.net/2021/07/tokentool-2-2-1-released/

I agree tokens are sorely lacking, especially "top down" ones which are my personal favorites ;)

I found Pinterest very useful. https://www.pinterest.com/davidhowrosenberg/traveller/?utm_campaign=rdboards&e_t=b4b9dec52a6b4d03b70f4f4c265344e1&utm_source=31&utm_medium=2004&utm_content=864198684685850792&utm_term=9

You can find some for Human and Aslan here:

I also like Top Down, check with Devin Night, he's going to be doing non-fantasy tokens this year (along with fantasy of course).

I generally use the web to find pictures I like, save them to my storage, (Usually in the Images Subfolder) then I go and run them through Token stamp 2 Link (https://rolladvantage.com/tokenstamp/)
Then save to my PC then drop it in the token folder (maybe portrait I forget)

Aliens.
Traveller has a huge collection of cool aliens, with very little art.
Not just Aslan and Varg. Thanks to the mighty fine community of furries, dog and cat people are very well taken care of.
But there are so many aliens. Dandies. That are alien dandylion flowers. And there Uplifted Orca and Dolphin. And so many different aliens.

Hi All,

Matt at Mongoose has given me the go-ahead to build 4 token packs.

NPC's - This will include every NPC in every book currently released.
Creatures, Robots and Drones - This will include all Creatures, Robots and Drones currently released.
Vehicles - This will include all Spacecraft currently released.
Spacecraft - This will include all Spacecraft currently released.

As more books get converted these packs will be updated, so whilst that may not seem large packs (ie Vehicles) they will grow.

We're looking at a price of $10 for each pack.

You will get each token with the Travellers Hexes, plus with a simple square white background.

I won't start on these until I've finished what I'm working on atm (Solomani Front).

Cheers,
MBM

Perfect! What else could be expected from someone from Sheffield? I live in Crookes myself.

I don't suppose there's any chance of a few extra random tokens for PC's is there?

Thanks.

Crookes? Nice, I'm also in S6. DM me if you ever fancy a pint over something.

Yes, that's a good idea. PC tokens. Let me see what else I can 'cut out' from all the artwork to make those. I'll also email Matt about seeing if we can get some drawn up as well.

Cheers,
MBM

I've started some top-down tokens. probably have something in a few weeks. I update my progress more on the "Traveller - Fantasy Grounds" FB Group but here's an early sample if the image attach works...
