This is not the first Doctor Who RPG. The first one published was a system created by FASA back in the mid 1980s, which used a similar system to their Star Trek RPG. I used to run that game back in... [Read More]
I was in high school when I stumbled upon Eric Noah's page. Of course, the difference between then and now is when I have the urge to say something online that can be construed as flame worthy, I shut my mouth and say nothing.
I don't think I said it enough, but Russ, thank you for hosting Malls & Morons on EN World for so many years. Thank you thank you thank you.
And to everyone else for putting up with my unsociable behaviour.
And to Eric for not suing me for making an NPC based on him and using his name as open gaming content.
And to Gary, who will always be a god, and for which in my heart shall always burn the flame of straight-man-love-admiration for all of eternity, or until I die, whichever comes first.

Congrats on Ten wonderful fun filled years! I've played more great games and even better, made more new friends then i care to count. I hope we all have many, many, more great years!
Wow, a lot of folks from the crack of dawn here still - that's great! And a special thanks again to Rel, Henry, Mark, Eridanis and all of the moderators past and present.
Yup I remember the pre-3E days when all the "leaks" came out. Great fun. As was all the new 3PP starting up and announcing product. I distinctly remember the combat example Eric had put up for some reason.
Though ultimately I did not like the 3.x game in the least , those were exciting times for D&D and it's fans.
Congrats to Eric, Morrus, and ENWORLD

Ten years. Time certainly flies when you have such a great place to spend a lot of it.
I've been here since pretty close to the beginning, though I've been mostly quietly reading, and I just want to say thank you to everyone that has made the experience so great.
Here's to Eric, Morrus, Piratecat, and the rest of you. And here's to another decade of this awesome community.

I don't know about dawn but I'm definitley from the crack. Kind of suits my new lurker personna.

Well first a big thanks to Eric, Morrus and all the Mods, past and present.
10 years is not an easy thing to do, it shows the strength and dedication of this community.
As for me, I stumbled the original site with in a few weeks of Eric setting it up. It did take me a while to get over to the message boards but I was here everyday for the news and latest scoop on what 3e would bring.
I don't spend as much time here currently as I have in the past, but ENWorld still holds the #3 spot in my Bookmarks tool bar.

I remember when this was all flat-file threaded conversations! Get orf my lawn!

It is astonishing to think that the site has been going that long! It has long been one of my favourite places on the internet, and I've had the pleasure of meeting and gaming with some really great people purely as a result of ENworld

Oh yeah? Well I remember when the site was so slow, it only allowed 300 users online at a time! And you'd have to wait until someone left, like it was an overcrowded college bar!
(that's actually a true story, though I forget the exact user limit. It was 250-300, though, I'm pretty sure).

Wow, 10 years and I believe I was around for most of them. It's too bad everyone's first signup date is Jan 2002 or later because of ... what was it? I've forgotten. I'll go look....
(I just changed the settings for the general forum to sort by date ascending, from the beginning. There aren't that many folks for 2002 still around based on the user names on that page. Best thread title: "So, gonna buy 'Of Sound Mind'?")
I suppose it was the switch to vBulletin. A lot griping at the time about shorter user names and that the older threads weren't imported. And then they discovered BBCode....

I didn't find this place immediately, but it was definitely before 3e hit print. I found my first gaming group since college via Gamers Seeking Gamers (I was moving to take a new job, and decided that I was defintely going to find some people to game with when I got there), and have been gaming with those guys almost every week since fall of 2001.
My first memory of Eric's site was, as has been mentioned already, his explanation of Attacks of Opportunity. For those of you who want to relive it, check this out:

I always really enjoyed putting that kind of thing together. I felt one of my jobs was to not just gather and display the rumors, but put them together and make them fit, organize them and constantly groom them for accuracy, and then teach readers what they could expect to see in the new edition. Similar idea here with the Combat Examples: Dungeons and Dragons 3rd Edition News
