If you are talking about the PDF Campaign Planners published by Ronin Arts then the person mentioning them was most likely me - I helped write some of them. (So I might just be a bit biased.)
I don't get any money for recommending them though - even if do you buy them. The bulk of the writing was done by Phillip Reed.
I use some of the forms a whole lot - I give out the Adventure/DM Review sheet after every scenario, and not just for D&D. Feedback, good and bad, is a big help. Adventure Outline, Campaign Outline, the various Events sheets, Weather, and the Encounter sheets are another bunch that can be used for multiple games, not just D&D. Other sheets do not see regular use in my games, but can help keep things organized.
While released under the D20 license about half of the sheets can be used in a more generic fashion.
If you are likely to be filling the sheets out on a computer then I would recommend getting the separate books - there is a fillable form for each sheet, which is missing from the Campaign Planner Deluxe. And since the three books put together cost exactly the same as the Deluxe edition....
The PDFs can be found .
Green Ronin has a Trure20 version available as well, which is here - I have not used this version though. While I have the PDF I also have this huge pile of the standard forms already printed out, and tend to grab those instead.
I also have to admit to being rather inclined towards the use of forms, and have been ever since the days of the first edition AD&D Dungeon Master's Design Kit. I also tend to create my own forms if there are none that quite work - some of the Call of Cthulhu pages in my Big Box o' Forms were written on a Commodore 64, way back when.... I find that doing so can help force form and function on my sometimes rather chaotic thought processes.

) (from rpgsheets.com) and parts of Campaign Planner 1 and 2 (see The Auld Grump's link above). They really help planning and tracking campaigns and individual encounters, and my adventures are definitely both richer, and easier to GM, now I'm using them.
I really like the Storyline and Development sheets - those are being printed out at this very minute. I have used the Chase sheet from the DMDK to similar effect, but these are better laid out. I think that I will share this on a few other forums that I frequent.
