Using Mike Schley symbols
Open the FSC file you wish the new pngs to go to - usually in a folder in the Symbols folder on your CC3+Data folder.
Click on Symbols menu, then Symbol manager. You will get a screen like this:
Click on Import PNGs and you will get a screen like this:
Click on Browse, and go to the folder which contains the PNGs you want. Open the folder and click on any of the pngs.
If the pngs already are in the 4 resolutions (Hi, Lo, VH or VL) then DO NOT CLICK 'Create other resolutions. If the png you want is NOT in the 4 resolutions, then do click on that. Then click OK.
When it is finished it will tell you how many symbols in the catalog and how many were updated or new ones created.
Then Open the Symbol manager again, and go through the symbols - the ones you added will be at the end of the list. You may have added pngs you don't want - just select them and press the delete button on the symbol manager menu (see above).
You can also reorder the symbols as they appear in the catalog.
Finally, click on the first symbol on the list, then select all the rest by using the Shift key on your computer and clicking on the last symbol. Then click Save as Catalog. Then click Save on the main menu, and you will have the new png along with all the other symbols that were in the catalog.
If you make changes to an existing official catalog, it is often better to give it a new name, otherwise it may be overwritten when there are updates, or if you have to reinstall everything.
Hope this is a little clearer than mud. Good luck.

Frostlund - a land of adventure
Here is the 'nation' of Frostlund. it is primarily a Vynling (norse) federation of largely autonomous jarldoms, but with a High Queen as the bit-more-than-nominal ruler.
It is the region where the first campaign I have run will commence in 10 days time after a break from DMing for 33 years! Yes, I am nervous. The last edition of D&D I DMed was 2nd edition. Now it is 5th ed 2024. At least I have had about 6 months gaming experience in it - previously hadn't played since 2016 - and then that was 1 game after about 10 years absence.
The players come from Dalvik (in the upper right hand corner) and will start off overhearing a nasty argument between Sven, an old retired sailor, and 2-3 travellers to the town, exhibiting rather unsavoury attitudes (definitely more than a trace of Grimmir blood). [The Grimmir are the equivalent of the various orcish humanoids, but they can range from civilized Germanic types to yobbo Aussies, to southern USA rednecks. But the Vynlings do stereotype them as barbaric Philistines!]

Dalvik, a town in Frostlund
Here is the town of Dalvik, hometown for three heroes adventuring forth into the wilds of the Vynling nation of Frostlund.
It is the starting point of my first D&D campaign with me as the DM since 1992.
Suggestions for improvements are very very welcome.
