How did you find EN World?

[arwink]

I'd checked out Eric's site a few times before the release of 3rd edition, but I didn't find my way here permanently until I was searching for submission details for D20 publishers.

I found natural 20's guidelines, then got lured onto the boards by the wiley questions of Rangerwickett (which, from memory, was something like: "What name do you use on the boards...")

Old time user since the days of Eric Noah's site, trying to find info on 3E, it was great, Piratecat got me hooked with his storyhour, and now I do alot of PbP stuff here, all in all I enjoy my stay, now where is my promised pie?

Huh... it was too long ago, I can't quite remember. Probably, I googled for "3e d&d" while looking for rumors on this new edition thingy.

Same here, although I think it was Yahoo. I don't think I was aware of google back then.

I think I came across ENWorld shortly after I first started playing 3rd edition: I'd been out of roleplaying since the early 90s but got back into it as a newlywed in 2000; our group played an experimental campaign in early 2001 and I was looking for information on these "Prestige Class" things.

However, it was just one of a bunch of sites I visited.

What brought me back to stay was when I first started seriously GMing 3rd Edition in late 2001/early 2002, and I wanted to run a version of UK 5, The Eye of The Serpent. ENWorld got my attention and a place in my bookmarks because of the conversion library and Creature Catalogue stuff. I discovered the message boards shortly afterwards, and have been posting occasionally since about June of that year.

Before the release of 3e, I found a link to Eric Noah's site while looking for information on Neverwinter Nights on one of the RPG Planet sites.

Ah... a long, long time ago, in a community far, far away...

When I first looked at the title of this thread, I thought to myself, " Too long ago for me to remember. " However, after I saw Talinthas post, the memory clicked. I'm pretty sure I was directed to Eric Noah's by somebody while chatting on the Wizards web site, a number of months before 3e was released. Not sure exactly, but I think it was a fair while.

Ah, Wizards Com.munity... I don't go back there much anymore, a shame really. Thing is, it's easier just to log on to mIRC and chat in #dnd3e. And besides, a lot of the same people from Wizards are there too, hehehe... If only Tank were accessible from mIRC... oh well...

A friend emailed me the link, and I've been a regular pretty much ever since. That was pre-3e's release, so I can't rmember exactly when that was. Early 2000?

I surfed, I saw, I signed up.

I found this site either shortly before or shortly after 3rd edition came out in 2000. To be honest, I can't recall from where I got the link, I think it was from RPGplanet.com

Edit: As it obvious, though, I didn't sign up for the forums till quite a long while after that. Wasn't much of a message board person, never even bothered to read it, I figured it'd be worse than the WOTC forums.

My appearance here is slightly different. For one, I'm not actually familiar with Eric's site at all. I don't really read it... just this forum.

Someone was reading Lady Despina's Virtue, Sep's story hour, and sent me a doc file with the then compilation thereof. It hooked me, and I wanted to know where to see the original, where updates would show up. Link was given, and here I am.
