then it goes on to say:
Eventually, other releases will follow for Adventure Tools, such as Encounter Builder and Map Builder. In addition to new builders, we'll also continue adding content, enhancements, and new features to D&D Monster Builder, in the same vein as the D&D Character Builder and D&D Compendium.

Character Builder gets a slot
Library Tool

My idea on the Library Tool is it would give you access to:
- All Dungeon Content
- All Dragon Content
- All purchased Digital Downloads

Maybe this could be part of the solutioning. Or we could go with the player driven dream:

- Character Builder gets a slot.
- Game Table gets a slot <-- The True Fantasy

While a library tool sounds great, it also sounds like a repeat of the Compendium. I wouldn't want them to spend time remaking a tool that already works fine online into a desktop feature.

4. Cofeemaker

5. Self Destruct Button.

hth.

P.S. When the full set of tools comes out, do try not to get 4 confused with 5.

Perhaps an adventure builder as well where you can string a few encounters together to get your full adventure.
