I had just read about 3e in Dungeon magazine and was searching the web for info on the new edition. I was very critical about the need for a new edition... but when I found Eric Noah's site and read about it, I thought "well, there are some good things here like the new saving throws, but if it isnt fully compatible, I'm not gonna like it". As I checked into the site every single day to find out the latest updates and then started mining statblocks with you guys for what we could figure out about 3e, my feelings changed. I started to love the new system. I incorporated elements into my current 2e game. I was hooked and even when I knew it wouldn't be compatible, I loved it anyway. I also remember hearing the first news of d20... Ryan Dancey's brainchild and the interviews with him. It's incredible how such a little expiriment has blossomed into so much more. Originally it was mainly intended for adventures, and they were there right after d20 started appearing, but wow look how much has changed!And when I came on, I also started checking the messageboards. I was known as Antrion back then. I remember people like Squirrel Nutkin and ForgottenHater. I remember discussing gender and Gary Gygax's idiotic comments regarding it as well as his praise of hack n slash above all other ways of gaming (he seems to change his tune every year but neh). I truely think the heyday and most exciting time was back before 3e came out. But it is amazing how this community has grown.I've never been too much of a regular poster, but I still peak in now and then<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />So to anyone who remembers me as "Antrion", Hi!And to clarify, the first boards had only one forum and it was hideously primitive! I remember Eric soon changed it to a decently normal set of boards.</blockquote>
