EN World is a role-playing game news and reviews website, which has grown from the earlier "Eric Noah's Unofficial D&D 3rd Edition News" site (which was active from 1999-2001).

The main focus of EN World is on d20 System-based role-playing games, Dungeons & Dragons in particular, although discussion of other types of role-playing games also takes place. As of June 2008, there were approximately 70,000 registered users. The website is run and owned by Russell Morrissey.

EN World publishes news about new product releases, and also acts as a database of different d20 products. The members can review and comment on different products. In addition to this, the website also has forums focused on D&D and other d20 games. An international community of gamers constitutes the forum members.

The website also hosts other sites, such as the Creature Catalog, which features monsters from previous editions of the D&D game that have been converted to d20 format.

Every year in association with the GenCon gaming convention, beginning in 2002[2], ENWorld has hosted the ENnies - an award show recognizing the best role-playing game products and publishers for the preceding year. The first ENnies were held online in 2001, and the following year they were officially announced at GenCon. The ENnies are now officially known as the "GenCon ENWorld Awards" show, for both d20 and non-d20 games.

In June 2008, EN World was launched, featuring new functionality, such as member blogs and a wiki.
