Need Help Setting Up In Game Tokens and Layouts.

I really need help with setting up maps and tokens as well as just learning about it all. I want to run a game with my brother and friends but have no idea how to set it up. I got the game made but I have to add maps and be able to have it not show stuff if you are not in line of sight. Can someone help me out? I can get on anytime all week and use Skype. I just need a run down. Thanks for reading and hope to see you soon.

One of the most useful tricks I've learned for dynamic lighting is to create journal entries for a light source, select a token from the art library, setup its light properties, then edit the journal entry to use that token as the default token. Now whenever you need a torch or lantern and whatnot, you can click and drag its name from the journal page and drop it on the tabletop for an instant light source.&nbsp; In fact, the set default token for PCs and NPCs is extremely important to me. It just takes a while to set it all up.
