For the scientists and science minded. Here is Science Creative Quarterly's take on scout merit badges. How many do you deserve?

June 20 is Free RPG Day at Hastur. I plan on running some sort of game for it, probably DnD4e but it could be something else. COme on down and score some free stuff.

Worldwide DnD Gameday is Saturday at Hastur. I will be out of town, but go play and support the hobby.

A year ago I was thinking how cool a DDI membership would be, with the plans for character visualizer, virtual game table, acces to all the 4E books (to save money), etc...

The mags (Dragon / Dungeon) are okay - but fluff for me.

I said once they got all / most of the cool stuff implemented I would sign up. Well - no word on lots of the stuff that was originally targeted for this time last year so...

As I am starting to GM, I am already finding myself having to buy more 4E stuff than I really want to spend money on. How useful are the exisitng tools to running a campaign as a substitute for hard copy books?

Some examples:
The enounter builder - can you print monster stat blocks? Are monsters from all supplements added at close to publication? (MM1 is a bit short on low level monsters, making each 4E low level campaign kinda the same...)

Compendium - what exactly does it do?

Can you, for instance, sort/print descriptions (power cards?) for all Warlord powers levels 1-3, so I dont have buy martial power, arcane power, etc, etc...

If I am thinking of rolling a wizard, can I see all the published wizard options to read up on them?

Magic item tables/descriptions by level?

Character Generator - Its seems very useful if you have planned out your character using a published book. How succesful would I be planning out a swordmage, or a new martial spec, if I dont have the associated book?

What other useful (GM or player) stuff has anyone here with a membership found?

Thanks!
