What are Token Backgrounds and why should I use them for my characters and creatures?

Token Backgrounds in TT-RPG are circular, decorative images that are composited behind your transparent token portraits. Instead of a plain colored circle, these backgrounds add visual flair and thematic depth, making your tokens pop on the battle map.

They serve to enhance the overall aesthetic of your game, allowing you to match the token's frame to the character's personality, faction, or the environment they're in. This small detail significantly contributes to player immersion and makes your digital tabletop feel more polished and professional.

By using Token Backgrounds, you transform a simple portrait into a more complete and engaging visual asset, giving your players a clearer and more exciting representation of their characters and the NPCs they encounter.
