Eric's Annual Trip down Memory Lane

[Animus]

I was a lurker back then, but I've followed this page since the 3rd edition announcement as well. Kudos to you for your effort, Eric Noah .

I heard from him about then or a little after as well. He was still in NY then. I'm not sure what happened after that. I do remember missing GenCon in 2001 and PA sending me a poster that everyone at the ENWORLD gathering signed. I've still got that thing around here somewhere.

Yeah, I've got mine, too!

Everything I know about 3.x D&D I learned from Eric Noah's Unofficial D&D Third Edition News!

Thirdideded.

Also, ENWorld Gameday was the first RPG-con-type-thing that I ever attended. And now I run one!

Eric... thanks.

Some great memories there. I still have the pages I printed off and tried to start using to make characters.

I don't have my print-outs any more, but I did the exact same thing. I guess I've been lurking on and off since 1999, then. It only took me -what? -5 years to start posting?

Man oh man. I'm glad I did.

I wouldn't have had nearly as much fun with 3e (and 3.5e) without this site, and without these message boards. Thanks all!

 

[Mark CMG]

Fun!

Reading through all that recap... Man, Master Tools was such a train wreck.

I feel like I haven't been here long enough to post in this thread... but I really like the history EN World has, and I like what it's become over time and the dedication everyone has towards it. Sure, there may have been golden years in the past, but the ones since I've been around have been pretty cool too.

Oh, and...

I ...

Ah! You're from Beaumont! Cool. I was born there. Okay. [/aside]

Me too! Loved Eric's Page back then. In fact, I learnt how to play 3e through the SRD and his site before even getting the PHB.

GLORY DAYS

I had a friend was a big baseball player
back in high school
He could throw that speedball by you
Make you look like a fool boy
Saw him the other night at this roadside bar
I was walking in, he was walking out
We went back inside sat down had a few drinks
but all he kept talking about was

Chorus:
Glory days well they'll pass you by
Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye
Glory days, glory days

Well there's a girl that lives up the block
back in school she could turn all the boy's heads
Sometimes on a Friday I'll stop by
and have a few drinks after she put her kids to bed
Her and her husband Bobby well they split up
I guess it's two years gone by now
We just sit around talking about the old times,
she says when she feels like crying
she starts laughing thinking about

Chorus

Now I think I'm going down to the well tonight
and I'm going to drink till I get my fill
And I hope when I get old I don't sit around thinking about it
but I probably will
Yeah, just sitting back trying to recapture
a little of the glory of, well time slips away
and leaves you with nothing mister but
boring stories of glory days

Chorus (repeat twice)
