[QUOTE="iserith, post: 6672211, member: 97077"] A lot of these questions are best answered on the Roll20 forums. The community there is pretty helpful. Every image is a token unless it's on the map layer. There is a simple macro you can use to automatically roll initiative and add the monster and its init to the turn order. I don't recommend using the built-in character sheets. I find this slows down the game. Instead, I have everyone do "token actions" by inputting macros into the Abilities & Attributes tab of the character sheet. This way when you click on your token, a list of buttons comes up. Then you just hit the appropriate button and you're done without needing to pull up the sheet and sort through it. This also allows you to format it in a way you prefer rather than what they give you. The easiest way to get rid of fog of war is to pull down the page tab where it has all the pages in the campaign (little blue tab), click on the page's settings button, the check/uncheck fog of war. If you're talking about revealing a section for players, choose the polygon reveal tool on the left toolbar. A square in Roll20 is 70 pixels. Resize the images and they should snap to grid. Or you can right click on them and "Set Dimensions." Then type in the number of pixels or squares you want it to be. I'm not sure what you mean by labeling rolls. If you mean to get it to output to "Dexterity Check: 20..." that's an inline roll and the macro text is "Dexterity Check: 1d20" with double brackets around 1d20 and without the quotes. (I'm not sure how this forum will take me typing those brackets out.) For the amount of space the die rolls take up, I recommend not using the character sheets and using token action macros that have inline rolls. If you want, send me an invitation to your campaign and I can leave a couple posts there that may be of use to you. If we happen to be on at the same time, I can answer your questions live. [/QUOTE]
