So why are you at ENWorld?

[Dice4Hire]

I feel I must add that I also like the variety of games people talk about, as that is how I hear about most 3PP stuff. There are a lot of people from different sectors of the hobby here, and that is nice.

Most are only available to Community Supporters these days.

I see what you did there.

I come here for the 3.5E news and reviews, mostly. There wasn't much going on for that stuff back in the golden days of 4E, so I didn't visit as often as I once did. But now that Pathfinder is out, d20 SRD material is popping up everywhere, and this is the best place to go for all of the latest news and reviews.

I came here after having rather bad experiences at another gaming forum. It got too much and it was starting to really bother me, so, I came over here and started posting. Discovered that people here are perfectly capable of having passionate discusions about the game without dragging personalities into it or harrassing other posters.

So I stayed.

I guess it was the WLD thread for the most part for a long time that kept me coming back. That thing was a monster.

Like DannyA, even the threads where no one agrees with me are still fun.

I come to EnWorld for good discussion and interesting topics.

I go to the Wizards boards for CharOp and Hellcow's postings.

I came here back in the early 2000's when I followed a thread from the WotC D&D boards. I lurked for a year or so before finally signing up.

I stuck around for a few things.

1. It gives me a D&D fix. When I first came to EN World, I didn't have a group and hadn't played in a regular game for a couple of years. Posting on EN World at least let me talk about D&D and other roleplaying games, even if I wasn't getting to play in one. Now that I have a regular group I can still use EN World to give me a session-to-session fix.

2. I find a lot of the topics interesting to read. This has probably died off a little since I don't currently play 4E, so the "latest product X" threads no longer hold much interest for me. There are still some threads that grab my attention though.

3. I can discuss any issues I have in my game. This has died off a bit too since my game is going really well. I know that EN World is here if I need it for that though.

4. The latest news on D&D and other RPG's. EN World is always a great source of information for what's going on in the hobby. That's what it was when it originally started, and it continues to be today.

5. Rules queries. Even though I don't play 4E, the 3.Xe Rules Forum is still a great information source for any rules queries I have. The traffic isn't as much as it used to be but I can still generally get a few people to answer my question.

6. The community. Over the years I have come across a lot of awesome people on EN World. The overall vibe here is a lot nicer than many other internet forums I have used. I have never met another EN Worlder in person but, despite that, I have benefited from the generousity of several EN Worlders. You don't find those sorts of people just anywhere on the Internet.

I started lurking back around 3.5 (pre-FDG) and then joined up later. It's a great place for me to pop in and relax for a while/recharge my batteries several time a day when I start going cross-eyed from creating our terrain.

 

[Rykion]

I'm one because I like the community, the software, the moderation, the topics.

Same here. I also have a job stuck in front of a computer 9 hours a day and nothing to do half the time. It leaves me plenty of time to kill.

 

[ki11erDM]

I came to EnWorld years ago to get pre release 3e news. Then came for rules questions (thanks hypersmurf) and 3.5 pre release news… and then LOTS of rules questions (thanks hypersmurf).

Then 4e pre release info… but I almost never need any rules questions answered anymore with this rule set so I don’t come for that anymore.

So I guess it is just to watch the flame wars… LOL

 

[Infernal Teddy]

I cam here from RPG.net some time about 2000/2001, hung around for a few years, wandered off, and have just returned with Pathfinder.

 

[ArmoredSaint]

I don't remember what initially brought me here, but I stayed because it seemed like this board was populated by a higher percentage of mature individuals than the Wizards boards. There are fewer anime-crazed kids here asking how to simulate their favorite badly-animated, spiky-haired, overcompensating-with-outlandishly-sized-swords heroes here.

The heavy-handed and arbitrary moderation here is the only thing that keeps this place from perfection...
