Oh yeah, DM's Familiar (my program).DM's Familiar has a thingy we call the Codex Tree. It's a combination word processor/treeoutline tool. You can use it to write all of your adventure notes, campaign notes, DM notes, or anything else.DMF also has a huge collection of databases: Monsters, Spells, Feats, Skills, etc. The interesting part is that the Codex Tree is integrated with all the databases. So as you're writing your adventure in the Codex Tree, you can drag-and-drop the Monsters onto the Codex Tree to record the encounter. You can also drag spells and whatever else to the Codex Tree so you can instantly look those up. Sounds effects? Word files? No problem - copy and paste shortcuts into the Codex Tree. Of course then the Codex Tree is tied into the Combat Board (which rolls initiatives and hit points automatically, keeps tracks of rounds and such). Drag the encounter from the Codex Tree to the Combat Board to start the combat. What you'll find is that you spend the game session looking at the Codex Tree which has all your notes and outlines. You won't miss anything. When combat is ready to start, you drag the entry from the Codex Tree to the Combat Board and run the combat smoothly and easily. You might also look at Roleplaying Master which is hosted here at ENWorld. It's in roughly the same category as DM's Familiar (Luke may disagree). If you want to be more organized, then you probably want one of these two programs first. If you want great in-game gaming tools, then I heartily recommend my program, Tablesmith for random tables, and WeatherMaster for doing weather.You can find DM's Familiar, the program Monte Cook describes as "Wow!",  <a href="http://www.paladinpgm.com/dmf" target="_blank">here.</a> You can see what other people are saying about DM's Familiar <a href="http://www.paladinpgm.com/dmf/testimonials.htm" target="_blank">here.</a></blockquote>
