Watcher Sat, 08 Jan 2011 13:39:44 +0000 http://www.encounteraday.com/?p=655#comment-2519 We also started using Turn Watcher, but for me it had 2 major drawbacks: it doesn't work well with 4e, and it does not run on the Mac (my preferred platform). 4eTurnTracker (http://4eturntracker.com) is not as powerful as D&D 4e Combat Tracker yet, but it tracks the most important stuff like: Initiative, HP and Temp HP, Healing Surges, Action Points and ongoing effects. What it does, it does well. And most important, besides the fact that it runs on the Mac (and Windows of course), is that the interface is quick and easy to use. Oh, and not to forget, it's free... Highly recommended! :) We also started using Turn Watcher, but for me it had 2 major drawbacks: it doesn’t work well with 4e, and it does not run on the Mac (my preferred platform).

Its a bit of a hassle like the card game to constantly check how close each one is in relation to others. I will definitly check it out either way.

I currently use www.dungeonmastering.com and have had wonderful success with it. It not only allows you to track initiative, but it is a full digital DM Screen. You can add/create your monsters, items, spells, traps, etc... and then link them together as information available for the encounter. The encounter screen allows you to enter in any additional text you'll need for the encounter and have it there on the DM Screen with all the monsters and everything else. During the game, I run the encounter in fullscreen mode as can be seen here: http://tools.dungeonmastering.com/encounters/full_screen_view/2919 (an encounter from a few sessions ago).
