Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mustrum_Ridcully" data-source="post: 4799627" data-attributes="member: 710">I don't know anymore. I suspect some online search on D&D 3rd Edition.There are people with years of game experience and newbies. There are people with different preferences, likes or dislikes. It is a community with a lot of creativity and that has a lot of interesting stories to tell and game experiences to relate. Members of the community like to argue, especially when it's about different preferences. This can be enlightening, if you learn something new, or frustrating, when it seems you can't get your point across. (Sometimes, this is a sign you're trying too hard, and miss that it's about personal taste and not facts.)Getting rules understanding was a start, but I think what mostly made me stay is that I could learn a lot in playing and running games. There are a lot of people with more experience as DMs than me here, and they have lots of useful advice and experiences to relate.Lots of threads inspire to do more, or give suggestions on how to handle situations in-game as well as out-of-game. I think it made me both a better player and - more importantly for me - a better DM.Mostly in that I spend a lot of free time on EN World and it keeps gaming a hobby I can spend lots of time on. There are also people that you "kinda know" - but since most live far away for me, I might never meet them (though, who knows, GenCon 2010?). I think it - along other stuff often related to gaming or media- helped my English a lot. (I am not a native speaker/writer)...Maybe the history of EN World?</blockquote>
