[RPG] What happened to the D&D power cards

Here are a few wondrous items that can be helpful:

Bag of Holding ^DDI Level 5 Uncommon - Reduces the load by up to 199lbs for endurance weak characters... Though it is level 5, it is given out in a treasure parcel at the end the new Red Box set's module (when the player reaches 2nd level.)

Battle Standard of Healing^DDI Level 3 Uncommon - Power (Encounter • Healing, Zone): Standard Action. When you plant the battle standard in your space or an adjacent square, it creates a zone of healing energy in a close burst 5. Whenever you or an ally spends a healing surge while in the zone, you and all allies in the zone regain 1 hit point.

This effect lasts until the end of the encounter or until the battle standard is removed from the ground. Any character in or adjacent to a battle standard’s square can remove it from the ground as a standard action.

Chime of Awakening^DDI Level 4 Uncommon - Power (Daily): Standard Action. You set the chime of awakening to ring when a specific trigger occurs within 10 squares of it. Example triggers include the presence of anyone other than you and your allies, the light of the sun touching the area, or the appearance of a specific character or type of creature. The chime rings in the minds of you and all allies within 10 squares of it. You and affected allies are instantly awoken (if asleep) and alert. The chime of awakening can be fooled by creatures in disguise. It makes active Perception checks with a +10 modifier.

I personally never come to the table without a notebook and pencil (regardless of whether I'm DM'ing or playing). You can use the multiple pages to keep track of separate things rather than clustering it all onto one sheet. That being said, you should always be keeping track of the following:

• Initiative. It's always your job to keep track of this. Also take note of when players delay or prepare actions because this will alter their standing in the initiative table.
• Enemies. This includes tokens to represent them as well as their card containing all of their information. You need to keep track of their health, inventory, and any status effects they have on them. Also memorize or have access to their combat tactics.
• Status Effects. You are not solely responsible for keeping track of this. Each player should be keeping track of status effects effecting their character, but if you remember something they do not, then remind them.
• Script. Completely optional. You may want to write down a particular description of a location or a monologue for an NPC (evil rants from villains are always fun). Don't put too much effort in here, only parts you know the party is guaranteed to come across otherwise it's a waste. This really depend on how much improv you want to do.
• Your players' backstories. I always prefer to note down the essentials in case I want to bring it up.
• DM Screen. If you don't have one already, GET ONE. This tool is such a life saver as a DM. Not only does it conceal all the mess I just listed from your players (not to mention your rolls (nobody had to know that was actually a 1)). It also contains so much useful information such as nearly every status effect in the game, common DCs, common combat actions, attack modifiers, EXP charts, and rules on dying, etc.

Edit: About where to get a DM Screen. A fairly well stocked game store should have one. Or, if you're completely broke or like me don't have access to a good game store, this link has a printable version, just find something to tape it onto (I got handy with some cardboard and tape) and viola, DM screen.
