Already seen Thomasmarik video before and just seen yours. Can you give me some pointers about using Roll20 (which I visited after I saw your first video) but im struggling about hot to setup the planetary map... Thx

Although some stuff I found out by trying after posting my question your video was indeed helpful in some other stuff however maybe you know a couple of things I have yet to figure out...

On the hex map does Roll20 always number the hexes in that odd way? (A1, B2, A3, B4... instead of a correct numbering sequence like the BT maps)

Your unit tokens on the planetary map are taken from the MekHQ TO&E unit icons? (cant find proper icons for that in the Roll20 library...)

How do you convert those planetary maps in the pdfs to a jpg without getting all screwed up? (I tried)

You know if theres a Fractal Mapper free alternative to use?

Thx

Edit = wish MekHQ had some sort of planetary campaign management already ;)

Edit 2 = Found an interesting fractal mapper alternative here http://topps.diku.dk/torbenm/maps.msp

Edit 3 = And another one http://donjon.bin.sh/world/

no I have no idea how to change the way roll20 does the number system... But if you look at interstellar ops they use the M1 number system I just got used to it.

yes I too the tokens from TO&E at first then someone forgot who did some really nice tokens and I used those combining them using gimp

I did a screen shot of the PDF and then saved it as a jpg

at the time I did know about the free mappers always been scared of free stuff lol
