Message: <blockquote data-quote="HellHound" data-source="post: 2422225" data-attributes="member: 3397">Very cool.In my 3,000+ posts here, I went form being an old Grognard (I ran mostly CyberPunk and Vampire, hated 2nd edition, and still had my old homebrew campaign running using a heavily house ruled version of the Basic / Expert rules set) to a d20 convert.I posted some character classes to the conversion forum, and had a few in the downloads section, and then, after Russ took over, finally took the big step and released a PDF of prestige classes that jumped to the #1 position at RPGnow (January 5, 2002). Since then I've gotten into battles (big and small) and hung out in the publisher forum a lot, and have played a variety of d20 games and variants. I've been mentioned by some industry giants as one of the most helpful publishers to talk to if you are new to the hobby (which was quite the ego boost) and then won an ENnie award the same year that I released my first product, which was QUITE a blast.Whenever my obsession with d20 waned (such as when I relaunched our old Vampire campaign, and my CyberPunk games), I always had ENWorld to keep me going strong, and to bounce ideas off of when I couldn't actually run thrm through my house gaming group. On top of that, my shopping list has always been VERY MUCH influenced by the reviews section here. I decide what I have to buy and what I'll skip based on what I read in the reviews and  on the forums. With very few disappointments, I might add.I've made a lot of friends here too, and am really glad to be able to call a bunch of you my friends instead of 'on-line acquaintances'. I've also gotten a lot closer to the site through my business partnership with Russ. E.N.Publishing has really flourished, IMO, with the help, contributions, writing and art from the members of these forums. It is great to be part of a community like this.Thanks E.N. World. You've made my decade.</blockquote>
