D&D 5E Monster Manual question
Who is responsible for providing the tokens that come with the D&D 5E Monster Manual. It's a fairly pricey buy and I really don't understand why there is not a token provided for every critter within it. Someone had to provide the ones that are there - what decided what pictures were provided and which were not? I understand in the hardcopy book why it's not necessary for everything to have art with it. But for a game compatible version of the map where token images are required to represent everything - I don't understand why we have anything that depends on the letter tokens.
Is there a rationale behind not providing basic tokens for every NPC manual entry in the online game manual?Free(Forums/Forge) Extension(FGU 5E):

$$$/effort? That would likely be a lot of custom art.

In all cases (not just the Monster Manual) tokens are created by the developer of the product based on artwork provided by the publisher. So, as Kel says above, if there's no artwork for a particular beastie or NPC then there can be no token other than a letter one.
If there is something that you would like to see in Fantasy Grounds that isn't currently part of the software or if there is something you think would improve a ruleset then add your idea here https://www.fantasygrounds.com/featu...rerequests.php

If I buy the "D&D Tokens Volume 1 and 2" will the tokens automaticity be attached to the monster sheet? Or do you have to make a new copy of the monster and add the token.
