    For maps with trees I tend to just place the trunk in the map. If you put the canopy in then it looks odd when you have tokens on the map as it looks like they're standing on the tree. Also, the trunk is important for line of sight and cover, but the canopy tends not to be. And you're right. It is a very spooky tree.

    Hmm.. for the MapTools maps, have you ever thought about creating the canopies as png's that can be shown/hidden as needed? Cools stuff btw!!!
