En World

[pennywiz]

EZBoards are supposed to be "easy" for users to use and (for admins) to set up and maintain.

Any others?

This milk smells funney. Do I take a chance and drink it?

(Please, hurry with your answer for I've a powerful thirst and no wisdom bonus!)

What -I- really want to know is when is WotC going to sell off ENworld to a third party, outsource the role of Morrus to a local community college acting troupe, and lay off the Eric Noah Puppeteers ... all of which will go and make web sites about how, now that they don't have to do Eric Noah the way WotC wanted him done, they're free to explore their own ideas of where Eric Noah should be going ... ... And, I bet, they'll never publish the product that would have revealed, once and for all, WHO the fiend that mated with Eric Noah really was, and reveal what happened when Eric Noah's Half-fiend Love Child reached epic levels.

Not at all. Welcome to the Boards!

I think a lot of people have been hoping for a chance to test Henry's knowledge on various topics for quite some time. You've provided a perfect oppotunity for them to do so while welcoming you in the same thread. So, again, welcome, and...

Henry - What remains the single most debated topic in D&D since the early editions?



*edit* By the way, you can edit the subject line to "Welcome me and Ask Henry" if you'd like! *end edit*

....Around know-it-alls like us? Yep.

Though if you're looking for a sig-quote, I think that should be it.

I thought the EZboards were someplace you went to pick up chicks?

As long as we are asking questions about things, did Anonymous (the person who was sending out 3rd edition D&D previews before it was released) ever make him/her self publicly known? And if so who is it?

While I suppose it's possible that one person gave Eric the bulk of the info he credited to Anonymous, I'm pretty sure that it was just a name he used to hide someone's identity, and thus Anonymous was never just one specific person. Of course, Eric is probably the best person to answer that.

(Also, I'm pretty sure I slipped him some info at one point and had it posted as Anonymous, and I know I didn't provide all the info he posted).

As for what EN stands for, Henry's post says it all.

No, no, no. That's EZbroads.

Ding ding! You are correct, sir!

As for the whole EN World name thing ...

My site, Eric Noah's Unofficial D&D Third Edition News, started in August 1999. Somewhere along the way, likely around April of 2000 or so when I'd moved over to RPG Planet and had the new message boards up, some bloke named Russ worked with some other folks to create a group-designed D&D campagin setting called Daemonforge. For a long time I referred to their site as "the Deamonforge site" though it didn't seem to really have a name. Then at some point Russ asked me to make a forum specifically for Daemonforge, and I did. And then somewhere in there he named the site that went with it EN World.

Along the way, EN World became more than just about Daemonforge -- in fact, it was primarily known for its D20 Reviews database. And at one point Russ and I tried to work out the logistics for EN World to become one of my hosted sites (with him taking on D20 News responsibilities too, possibly) -- but some technical snags never got worked out and instead his site and mine became "partner" sites.

Also last year we did the D20 System awards for the first time, which folks cleverly dubbed the ENnies after EN World.

Last year August, when I was ready to close up shop, there was one and only one guy I thought of to take over my content and my forums...

Little did I know that someday I would call him "master"...
