Had, and its pointless, had Wizard's thoight of the damn Monster Vault design back at Dar Sun's release, with the nifty little monster image in the circle, I'd just photocopy, shrink and glue, but honestly... I'm lazy!

Seriously, I essentially do what you suggest, printing to card stock and mount them to magnet discs that have glue/tape on them already. Our main surface is a magnetic dry erase board, so it works nicely.

Apr 06, 2011 10:24:21 I used photoshop to finally pull out the images from DS and a pdf scan, and it works, but not very pretty.

I also wrote support a few times on this, and hopefully, politely said I felt it was a poor effort. Again, miniatures or tokens, if you intend for players to use them for their daily RPG games, you have to produce them so they can. Eberron really had little to no creatures/figures that were not put out in the MV, same with Forgotten Realms, but Dark Sun is a whole nother beast.

If you like tokens, then making them from the DS Creature Catalogue Gallery is easy:
