Nearing 100000 members - How did you find En World?

[Panthanas]

The same as quite a few people here I originally visited Eric Noah's site for pre-3E info. Afterwards I continued to visit for news and lurk in the forums (which hasn't changed too much).

Eventually I must have decided to respond to a post so I created an account. And here I am! Yay!

I joined because some friends wanted me to run a campaign of "that new version of D&D" which I didn't know anything about.

(It was terrible; I had been huffing cardboard crack for years, panhandling for Commons outside game stores... drugs are bad, m'kay?)

Anyway, a Yahoo search led me here (Google... pfft, with a name like that, they'll never last... Yahoo is much stodgier, y'know?) and the rest is history.

I did a Google search looking for info in the months leading up to the release of 4E, and it led me here to EN World. The info and scoops on 4E, and the way it was laid out on the site, was the best on the internet...and even magnitudes better than WotC themself.

Prior to coming here, I had a rather small presence on the internet. Other than email, Google searches, news and articles from WotC.com, and Wikipedia, I had never really participated much on the internet and almost never in forums or social networking sites. But, the posting environment and the sheer mountains of awesome gaming stuff, really kept me here even after 4E turned out to be not what I wanted.

This place simply Rocks!

That gives an added dimension to the term "Old Lady"...

I was walking down a street, when a man in a trench coat whispered to me from a dark alley. When I stopped, he told me all about En World, and then disappeared.

Yeah, sorry about that...

I think I Googled "hot italian beef" and ended up here.

The ladies hold on tight.

Who cares what else falls off?

varooooooom.

Just be responsible, guys. Use a proper prophylactery.

Must spread some xp around... blah blah...

For the last few years, EN World has been my go-to source for anything RPG-related. The wealth of information and the great community here is second to none. How did I wind up here? Well, I drew this encounter:

"A well-dressed man is standing on the platform. He turns and greets you by name. Although he seems oddly familiar, you don't remember ever metting him before. Then he steps off the platform into the path of a speeding train. Make a Speed (-2) check. If you pass, he vanishes as you leap right through him. On the ground, you find yourself clutching a scrap of paper with the web address enworld.org. If you fail, he is obliterated before your eyes. Roll a die and lose that much Sanity."

Changed screennames in '05 but I've been here since not very long after it first incarnated under Eric providing news and information about the then-upcoming 3rd Edition. Probably early 2000 Until then I spent most of my online time surfing rec.games.frp.dnd on Usenet. Most web-based message boards were kinda crappy and thin on posters so I was pretty happy with the place when it showed up. People here were also an order of magnitude more civilized than some of the insufferable Usenet creeps. Pretty much gave up Usenet for good after 2003 because there was almost nobody left worth talking or listening to. They were all HERE.

Congratulations on 100073 and counting!
