For those of you who are playing 4e - I have found this game aid to be quite helpful. Go here and download the Magic Set Editor (it's free) and download this template. I use the Rules Compendium to cut and past the exact text (updated with erratta) of my charecters powers on to cards. When my powers are expended in game - just flip the card over. It makes keeping track of encounter and daily powers super simple.

Wizards of the Coast have created 2 bonus tools for the D&D Insider. An encounter builder - that helps DMs create encounters for a specific sized party at a specific level without having to do all the math and an ability generator that helps one use the point buy system for generating ability scores (described in the players handbook) without having to do any math. Both of these tools were not working yesterday.

I thought I’d take a break from D&D for a post to talk about a board game.  This week at my local board game night we played “Shadows Over Camelot”.  Shadows, produced by Days of Wonder, won a Spiel Das Jahre (German game of the year) in 2006.  And with good reason.

I’ve held off writing this post until I’ve had a chance to run an adventure in 4e. But know that I’ve had a chance to act as DM let me tell you about 4e from a DMs perspective.

I know it's been a while since I've posted, and I assure you, more thoughts on 4e are on their way evnetually.  RL has had me pretty busy lately.

That aside, I stumbled upon this thread tody and it might be the best actual play post I've ever seen.  Tony and his 7 year old son (known as D) are playing through the 1st 4e module "Keep on the Shadowfell" using the quick start rules, legos and D's boundless imagination.  This kid is a genius and I want to play with him.
