That's cool. the biggest problem I'm currently having though is when I place a building, it thinks it's a token NPC and takes up only one square. how do you resize tokens?

Oh, the best way to handle that is to put the building on the Object or Background layer. I use maptools on a mac, so I'm not sure how different the layout is, but to the right on my map I see a Layer box where you can select Token, Hidden, Object, or Background. When you put something on the object or background, in one of the corners is a button that lets you adjust the size, and it's not limited to the grids, either.

For future reference, you can also resize tokens by right clicking on them and selecting their size, though that will be restricted to the grids. That's useful when you've got huge pokemon like onix, or tiny pokemon like rattata or something.

My tip of the day is knowing how to improve. So many times your all like ya the players are going to do this or fight that and next thing you now they are either walking in the other direction or trying to be friends with the dude they were suppose to fight or some one comes up with some crazy way of there own at solving the problem.

And don't forget it is a GAME so have FUN.
