I've got a few games under my belt now, and still forget plenty o' rules. This is largely taken from the back page of the rulebook, with a number of other tidbits thrown in that I tend to forget while playing. It's editable just in case your mileage (read: memory) varies.
This excel workbook assists the player in building warbands and printing the cards for the warband. I found most of this information in an excel spreadsheet by Tim Whisenhunt and on DND Wiki. V 1.2 Updated to Desert of Desolation
An Excel spreadsheet for keeping track of your D&D collection. Has a separate worksheet for each of the sixteen current sets and each sheet is sortable by number, name, rarity and quantity. Figures with available Epic cards are highlighted in blue.
