And, yes, they're all guilty of appalling mismanagement.Now, back to the topic.I'm running a Forgotten Realms campaign which is about to change markedly due to the departure of a really key player. It may even lead to the abandonment of this campaign and the beginning of a new campaign. If the new campaign happens, it's going to most likely be a Dark Sun game set in the Heroic Tier.And here's where the best thing - really, one of many best things - about 4E comes into play: I have everything at my fingertips thanks to DDi (and Masterplan... ahhh, Masterplan, how much I do love thee), as do my players when it comes to building their characters. As the latter years of 2E taught me, having electronic tools is an absolute godsend for a time-poor DM.</blockquote>
