Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dustin Cooper" data-source="post: 8507632" data-attributes="member: 6922447">Most of the tools do still exist.  Some 4e die hards have managed to hack together a way to get the offline builder to have all the content, and they've gotten every single power, enemy, item, etc. in a version of the Portable Compendium.  I've been using it to successfully run and play 4e at least a year and a half.  It's sadly not a legal way of doing this, as it's copy/pasting text directly from WotC sources without getting their permission, but much like when it comes to video games, staying strictly with what's legal is terrible for preservation.And I will note that while 4e is playable without tools like this, it's far from an ideal way of doing it.  For instance, the final errata document for 4e is 140 pages long, and with the proper electronic tools, whether in the current hacked together form or D&D Insider back in the day, you don't even have to think about that.  It's just all already correct.</blockquote>
