The thing with 4e is that there's hardly any new tools coming out for it, giving us the option of filtering out a "best-of" list for it.</p><p>I'll create a skeleton of such a toolkit here - basically copied from the 5e Toolkit, and it would be nice if you could propose your favourite tools that should be added to the list. (Would it be a good idea to turn this into a Wiki page so that everyone can contribute more easily?)</p><p>I mostly removed all links that were only useful for 5e and added some stuff I thought of myself, but this toolkit is still a work a progress.

[QUOTE="Garthanos, post: 7854132, member: 82504"] This is a copy of a a thread from another forum that locks their threads after way too short of a time but since 4e is a slow burner it seems very inconvenient (one cannot update or mark things out of date or add other things) [SIZE=7][B]DM toolkit for 4e[/B][/SIZE] [IMG]https://www.redditstatic.com/desktop2x/img/renderTimingPixel.png[/IMG] Hello! I've been looking at [URL='https://www.reddit.com/r/DnDBehindTheScreen/comments/7nqfgh/massive_dms_toolkit_online_resources/']this DM's toolkit for 5e[/URL] and I was thinking: wouldn't it be nice to make a similar toolkit for 4e? The thing with 4e is that there's hardly any new tools coming out for it, giving us the option of filtering out a "best-of" list for it. I'll create a skeleton of such a toolkit here - basically copied from the 5e Toolkit, and it would be nice if you could propose your favourite tools that should be added to the list. (Would it be a good idea to turn this into a Wiki page so that everyone can contribute more easily?) I mostly removed all links that were only useful for 5e and added some stuff I thought of myself, but this toolkit is still a work a progress. Contributions very much appreciated!
