Generic Tokens for Virtual Gametables

[Sword of Spirit]

I'm looking for some truly generic tokens: ie, things like chess pieces, colored orbs, etc. I'm finding this extremely difficult to find.

I personally use Google Image Search to find good token images and then TokenTool to make them into token files for MapTool. Works like a charm for me.

What format do digital gametable resources use? The token sheets I copy and paste together are designed with printing in mind.

Many kinds can be used depending on the vitual tabletop but truly any can be cut up and converted easily to whatever is needed, I think. Do you have some buttons or other sheets of generic tokens of some kind?

I make the majority of my tokens using Google Image Search and Paint. Google and download the image, crop it in paint, save it as a .png or .jpeg.

You can also find lots of groovy stuff on the Dundjinni Forums.

I quite enjoy hunting down images and tokenizing them; I used Paint.Net in Windows, then switched to Pinta on linux. Also attached a zip of token frames of various sizes and colors.

Thanks! I think I have what I need on the basic tokens now.

Now that last thing that I need (hopefully), is an assortment of area of effect templates for 3.5. Does anyone know where I can get these? If anyone has already converted some into transparent png files to use as overlays, that's what I'm really hoping to find.

I usually start any token searches at the Dundjinni forums and go from there.

Area of effects seem pretty easy to put together... how many pixels per square do you need?
