Helpful Links
- Useful Links for DM's This is a huge list of links, a few of the links no longer work but overall you'll find it a valuable resource
- Official Campaigns This is actually the wiki for DnD Insider, it has campaigns cataloged by adventure and is updated as they're added.
- Glossary of gaming terms The glossary will help you familiarize yourself with many of the terms and acronyms tossed about the forums. I started it on pg 29 which is where it currently starts but it'll start on the last page no matter how long it gets. The first entry is also indexed & hyperlinked which I found very helpful.
- [3] This is most definitely not a site for free stuff, although they do offer free material from time to time. What it is is a very reliable source for a huge amount of downloadable source material at reasonable prices.

Campaign Logs
- Obsidian Portal Used by many DM's and players to track session notes, characters and treasure, obsidian portal is a free resource. They do have a subscription that adds a few more features but everything you really need is free.

Online sites for buying stuff
I know that there are lots more, I just listed the 3 I've made purchases from and know about.
Other sites with good articles and some resources
- Sly Flourish This is one of the better known sites with a number of good articles and some resources, they do publish some of their own material so you'll see a bit of self promotion but it's not excessive and the material is solid as well as usually inexpensive, as well as some material that's offered free.
