Well, the choices do matter if you're playing online, or utilizing DDB character sheets. Rolls from character sheets and encounters assigned to particular campaign show up in that campaign's gamelog. You're kind of a special case in that you're not using any of that.Thanks, I guess I'll give it another attempt!
I really found the "pick one of these things, none of which you want" to be a barrier to entry. I'm not one who assumes that if they force you to make a choice, that none of those choices matter.
So, the easiest way to do this is create a homebrew monster. You go to "Create Monster," choose a pre-existing monster to use as a template, and then change the name and upload the image you want to use as an avatar. The homebrewed monster will then show up in the Monster tab of the Token Browser, without you needing to do anything else.Is there a way to create your own tokens? It seems like a lot of creatures don't have any images associated with them. (Plus I'd like to define what my PCs look like, even if they're not in DDB).
The alternative way is to create a character in DDB, upload an avatar for it, and then assign the character to the campaign you're using for Maps. This is a little more extra work, but this way the character tokens will show up in the Players tab of the Token Browser. Note, though, that you don't have to fully create a character in DDB. You can just click on Standard in the character builder, give the character a name and avatar, and do nothing else. You can still assign it to a campaign and subsequently use the token in Maps.
Also, new feature just dropped! You can now rename tokens in Maps!
