This is my 5th Ludum Dare and I’m potatolly excited! Perhaps you want to check out my previous entries or follow me on twitter (so I can follow your progress, too). My tools:

Language: C#

Framework: XNA (perhaps MonoGame for potating) and my own little framework on which I progress from Ludum Dare to Ludum Dare: GB2D

IDE: Visual Studio 2012

Graphics: Gimp 2.8 and SpriteFont 2 for… fonts

Sound: sfxr, Otomata and iNudge

Good luck!
