#1 ramcas May 24, 2012 20:27:46	I stared playing Dark Sun in the 4th edition, and besides the Campain Settings, Creature Catalog, Dragon and Dungeon magazines articles and the Desert of Athas tile set, mi adventures on the table no longer hold themself with the same tokens of the Monster Vault, Red Box and DM set.... Every time I need to gather a tribe of nomadic elves y use the same ugly goblin tokens...crodlus are horses, thri-kreen are ants... silt runners are kobolds... muls... are...bald humans. What i mean is that if we had the iconic Athasian Monstrosities as tokens our boards and adventures would be complete! How would it be for us Dark Sun players and fans to have our own Cloud Rays, Floating Mantels, Belogi, Silt Horrors, Tembos, ID Fiends, Merkilots, Templars, Sorcerer-Kings and personages, THE DRAGON OF TYR tokens?!?!?! Minuatures would be awesome too, but tokens are just fine. Please, please, please give us your help to make this a hot post so it could be read by the Wizards team. --Sorry for bad english, not my main language--

With your DDi subscription (or with some Googling), you can easily find a lot of official art from the various Monstrous Compendia. It's very simple to crop those images to square, size them down to 1x1 (or 2x2), and print a grid of them on cardstock to snip apart to use as tokens. I actually make two-sided tokens with a red-shaded version of the monster on the other side to use as "bloodied". Just place them side by side on the grid and don't cut them apart. Simply folding it over and securing it with a loop of tape inside has worked perfectly well for me. For longer-lasting tokens, run them through a laminator, but I've found that's not really necessary. I have a ton of grids I've made using Athasian monsters (and non-Athasian monsters, and NPCs) as my players encounter them. So I haven't done them all, but I'm slowly working through the monster book. It really takes only 2 minutes of work in photoshop for you to make your own, though. Here are a couple I made, as an example for you: www.waxwingslain.com/dnd/cubekreenslayer... www.waxwingslain.com/dnd/grellgrid.jpg www.waxwingslain.com/dnd/levygladiators.... www.waxwingslain.com/dnd/levyportraits.j... www.waxwingslain.com/dnd/levyportraits2.... www.waxwingslain.com/dnd/mahindrazalport... edit: links work now?

#5 waxwingslain May 29, 2012 20:20:44	well, that's distressing. I'll fix.
#6 squidfur May 30, 2012 12:43:13	Links now working, yes....and I particularly enjoy those last two....heehee
#7 waxwingslain May 30, 2012 12:57:35	hehe...the "Dragon" is Medium sized because I'm using him for a dray. Standard-world dragonborn look soooo wrong for Dark Sun, so the dray in my Athas look almost like mini versions of the dragon, with long necks, spindly builds, leaf-shaped hands and head, etc.
