In general   I find them more distracting than helpfull. For prepping, computers are   great. Any wordprocessor and/or spreadsheet is handy. For character   creation and management, check out eTools or if your on a budget,    PCGEN (its free). When you find you need an extra map, check out   Dundjinni or some of the freeware or shareware mappers (check out    the links/download section of Enworld). Check out some of the links    from previous posts or the links section of ENworld for handy little    things like generators and such- It should be no problem running on just your copy of the books,    actualy that's up to you, how you feel yourself.    You might want to talk to your group and agree to share the costs    in some way, because those books (especialy the PHB) will see    use! (and maybe coffee or some suchs ;-) )- The Wizards of the Cost site is indeed great with myriad articles and free   modules and rules stuff. But don't stop there, go and check out some of   the on line rpg shops and publishers sites for more free stuff.   The online shops are also an excelent source of cheap PDF source   material. Not as filling as a full meal (=hardcover print book) but they   won't set you back more than a couple of bucks.- and one more to round off: do take notes during a session of what's   going on (names, events, ...) nothing as dumb as forgetting an NPC's   name or what he said. Also don't be afraid to ask your players' notes.   (you may need to explain that you're not the enemy and that those    notes allow you to make the game better...) Ah well, take it slow, don't be afraid to make a mistake,correct and lear!And have FUN! It may be a bit of work but DM'ing can be very gratifieng and (ok last time) FUN! CiaoDrakhe</blockquote>
