Gaming Toolbox

I haven't been able to check the site in a week, so pardon me if I missed the site redesign, but where did the on-line gaming toolbox go? That had a bunch of great links aggregated in one place that was easy to use at the gaming table.

Here is the link.

http://www.enworld.org/index.php?page=toolbox


Humm looks like they have cleaned up the front page and got rid of the link. I haven't the foggest idea where you could find it now?

Luckly I put the link in my favorites.

To be honest, I'd not heard anyone mention it in over a year - I figured nobody was using it!

If people are using it, then I figure it's probably time for it to be updated a little anyway. So, let's update the page and add the link back to the front page.

To start:

1) Are any of the links not working?

2) Can any be replaced with better versions?

3) Have any new tools appeared in the last year worth adding?

Note that all items must be web-based (i.e. not things you have to download).

Generate Name doesn't work, the Calculate Encounter Level & XP link doesn't work, and the Craft/Brew/Scribe Calculator doesn't work either (404's on each)

A lot of people use Invisible Castle (invisiblecastle.com) for their online roller, since it saves rolls.

I'd like to hear people's input on other tools. I used this a lot, and then not as much as I wanted to have some of the links be updated... It is really useful, though.

Great link, YS! I like that you can put in non-whole numbers, too (ie, if a creature was CR, boosted up a bit, you can put in CR 2.5)

Is there any plan to keep the Toolbox when ENW 2 goes up? I used to use it a fair amount, and would love to see it restored to its former glory!

I was also very happy that a utility I made was contributing something useful to ENWorld...
