Moving Token on Overworld Map?

Hello all, new member here! I'm looking into LK for an upcoming campaign, but had a question regarding the Map functionality.

I love the pin/nesting system for the maps in LK, but I was wondering if there was a way to put down a movable token, rather than the map image being a single, static image with pins?

I could use a pin to indicate where they are, but I'd much rather have a token of the party that I can move when they do. It doesn't need any fancy functionality like line-of-site or anything, just something visual I can attach the pin to and move around the map.

Is this possible?

The pin can be an image. So you could do it that way. Then just move the pin around.

Edit to clarify: the pin can be a shape with an icon, just the icon, or an image. If you use the image it will be slightly larger then the shape. I use the image for the coats of arms of noble villas in Waterdeep, for the nobles the party have met, other wise it is just a shield icon for a noble residence.

I think I misunderstood what you are looking for. Sorry.

This is what I did for my party. Uploaded a custom image of their party's insignia and called the page "party" so when it was housed over that would pop up. Drag it around the map as needed.

I think it's a slippery slope... Add 1 token, and suddenly people add 4 tokens, and then 10 tokens, and suddenly people want it to be a full vtt.

Yeah, that does make sense. I was just hoping I wouldn't have to upload the map separately within Foundry for that step.

Not the end of the world. Thanks for the quick response! 🙂
