What you are after is a Rollable table. &nbsp;You can learn how to make one here: <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Card_Decks_and_Rollable_Ta" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Card_Decks_and_Rollable_Ta</a>... Any follow up questions feel free to ask!

and that will do what i want that will put a token on the map as well

that didnt work all it did was put the token in the chat box

You have to click the "Token" button for the rollable table you create. You can't do it from a macro.

why not&nbsp;

You can't do it from a macro because the system doesn't support doing it from a macro. You're welcome to make a new thread in the Suggestions forum to ask that it be added as a feature.
