Give Players rights to some assets on Token Layer

Hello, In running a murder mystery or investigation game, letting players sort and organize tokens representing people, places, clues, evidence, etc would help them brainstorm just like they see on popular media (TV, movies, etc). They can already draw on the VTT, so they can draw lines to show connections, etc... but letting them move tokens around I think would really help set the mood and atmosphere. Any chance of this as a future feature? Just an option on the right click menu would be all I would need. Thanks!

Just give your players permission to controll the Object in question :) You can do that already in the token Options.

Assign an NPC character sheet to the token, then give all players (or even only specific players) permission to Edit and control that NPC. The NPC character sheet can either be just blank or can include information about that token.

You do not even need a Sheet for that token ;) You only need to give players control by mentioning them (or all players) and Save the Settings. That's it. Used them in my campaigns before and it works just fine ^^ Rick A. said: Assign an NPC character sheet to the token, then give all players (or even only specific players) permission to Edit and control that NPC.

LOL!  How long has THAT been there??  I've been a DM for 2 years and never noticed that.  Chalk that one up to an extended senior moment. :/ TheMarkus1204 said: You do not even need a Sheet for that token ;) You only need to give players control by mentioning them (or all players) and Save the Settings.

Thanks! I somehow totally spaced that screen was for everything, not just characters.

It is somewhat hard to see that there is a space you can write / fill in, but it has been there for as long as I gm here on Roll20 ;) Minor Edit: If a character sheet is selected for that token then those two dropdowns will be filled automatically.
