Random Token Rolls

Ive setup 24 different creatures on a random roll table, and assigned it to a character sheet. so I can drag it over, and do random rolls to make 1/2 a dozen mobs quickly. But problem is when I select them, and do the 'random side' all the players can see the results. is there a way to do the roll so the players cant tell I'm placing 2 kobolds, 3 orcs, 3 goblins, 2 goblin archers, and a troll when it annouces in chat...for example?
Interesting idea... I just tried this and it works but it's not pretty. It gives a single result, but by hovering over the result you can see the others. /w gm [[3t[Battle]]] Where 'Battle" is the name of the table I rolled on, and 3 is the number of results. The /w gm makes it invisible so only the roller and the GM see the results. The square brackets are required so a roll can be made; /w gm /r 3t[Battle] doesn't work. Neat idea tho, maybe someone can come up with a prettier way to do this? Edit: Ah, but you've already placed the tokens, you just want to randomize them? I can't think of any way to make that work silently, sorry.

I just did some playing around with this and from what I find is that I don't think there's anything at present that you can do outside of: Having a bunch of rollable table tokens sitting on the GM Layer. GM Rolling (so privately) however many random monsters you want for an encounter Get the results and change some random monster tokens manually to what the roll result was.

Hmm it doesn't quite work on what i was saying. it does give results in chat, but doesn't change a token. What I was talking about: Make a table with 24 different creature tokens on it for the images, tell it 'make token'; Then make a character sheet and assigned that token to it, So that way I can drag over that character 12 times, select them all and "right click - random side" and its randomly changes them all to something in the list on the board. Problem is everyone can see what they turned into in chat, giving them hints of whats around the next corner :P

Right. What I'm talking about is that there isn't presently a means to do it automatically. You'll have to make a GM Roll using the table and then change the tokens manually once you get the result.

Ah that works, good enough until I can do it the other way, or setup the map ahead of time :)
