They were screwing up MY game, and I wanted to know what was going to happen! I searched google three or four times before stumbling on a little place called "Eric Noah's Unofficial 3rd Edition News." I spent the next month reading every little tidbit to come out about the coming 3E. It seemed that this mysterious Eric Noah had some amazing inside source. I felt as if I had a direct connection to the people designing the new game. It was magical.And then I discovered the message boards!My gaming buddies and I planned the trip to GenCon 2000 just to make sure we were among the first in the nation to get our hands on the new D&D. I got my Player's Handbook signed by Monte Cook, Jonathan Tweet, Skip Williams, and just about every artist and editor I could find.At an RPG event, the game was so new that many of the volunteers didn't know all the rules. I did, though, so I stood up and helped people make some characters. I read the entire PH on the way home from Milwaukee (I was a passenger), reading new rules and rules changes aloud to my friend Gary (and this is better, and this is cool...oh, this spell is new!) for hours.3E revitalized my campaign and breathed 4 years of life into it. I've DMed the same group of characters from about 5th to 17th and 18th level.Ask me in 20 years how I feel about 3E and see if I'm not nostalgic.</blockquote>
