The last thing you want is spend all day making encounters. 4e does make the process much quicker, but how can we we make it quicker? Let us explore the ways.
Need to pull up encounters on the quick? Asmor’s 4e encounter generator should be just what you need. I’m sad but not surprised I was beat to this — good thing I always check on my “Why hasn’t this been done before?” ideas before I actually start to implement them 
. Asmor also has an encounter-a-day blog which is in the blogroll. Check it out.
Next on the list we have an excel spreadsheet at 4venture. It has the list from the back of the MM faithfully rendered and the second worksheet helps you calculate your budget expenditure. Very nice tool.
