I would go for the second (unless you already have a PDA, in which case: CURSE YOU!)Now, there are several mapping utilities. Dunjinni (sp?) is very good, but you have to buy it. There is also AutoREALM, a shareware mapping utility. It's decent for overland maps (I cant do combat maps with it, but heh, I'm incompetant).As far as plots go, try tying their adventures into the overall story plan. Maybe those high level hobgoblins are not just some random evil guys? Perhaps they are a scouting party for a war? Also, remember that D&D isn't just combat. Throw lots of pure roleplaying in, along with murder, scandals and intrigue. If your PCs own land, let someone try and reposses it. Reveal during their investigation someone in the nobility has something against them, etc, etc.I find that forcing the PLAYERS to use their brains rather than just making INT checks is good no matter the level.</blockquote>
