Though AFAIK it never materialised, sadly.I do agree that such a tool would be hugely useful. Even if all it allowed was for the DM to assemble his map using fixed, pregenerated dungeon tiles (or Dungeon Tiles), and then key them to pregen monster stats from the Compendium, that would still be immensely useful.Alas, I don't see it happening with the DDI as it stands - it would appear that most people who are willing to pay for DDI at all are willing to pay just for the Character Builder and Compendium (and maybe the magazine content). So there's no real incentive for WotC to go beyond that basic offering.(Though one thing I did muse on, and have posted about before, was the possibility of them hosting an online library of fan-generated materials - let DMs generate and share their adventures, possibly for some small credit towards rewards. This allows WotC to build up a huge library of content for very little expense on their part, and might potentially see a lot of DMs signing up, since it would mean always having an adventure available to run when needed. But the issue remains one of cost/benefit - would such a thing lead to a sufficient increase in subscriber numbers to make it worth the effort of implementing and hosting?)</blockquote>
