Dungeons and Dragons 4E Resources

The Fourth of Edition of the Dungeons and Dragons game is pretty popular. There are a lot of websites out there on the interwebs that offer a whole lot of information on the game, and if you're new to it, it can all be pretty overwhelming. It's okay, I understand. I'm here to help.  Here are several good places to start digging deeper into the game.

At-Will is a great place to start. There are a ton of articles and podcasts and all of it is top-notch stuff that can help you dig deeper into the 4E system. He also hosts a totally awesome 4th Edition webchat. Check it out! Everyone there is pretty friendly, most of the time.

Sly Fourish is devoted to "Building the Better Dungeons and Dragons 4th Edition Dungeon Master", and that's no joke. This guy also runs 4Eblogs.com which is an aggregator page for several of the best 4th Edition blogs around the net. I haven't made the list yet, but I'm working on it. Patience, young grasshopper.

Save Versus Death has got the ball rolling on this whole "FourthCore" movement, and it's pretty excellent stuff.

AdventuringKit.com lets you easily create monster stat blocks formatted just like the ones in the Monster Manuals, and it does the math for you. It can also help you write out adventures, complete with customizable grid-maps.

Obsidian Portal basically lets you create a wiki for your RPG campaign, and not just 4E D&D either.
