How y'all finding your first posts?

I looked up my join date in my profile, and then went to advanced search to find one near that date with my user name. I didn't see if there was just a button one could push to get to it, but I would not be surprised to find out there was.

Nope, there isn't (that I know of). I did the same thing. Make sure you also select to sort by date, instead of by relevance.

I have no recollection of an admin/mod named Plane Sailing that shows up in my first thread, even though their profile shows active through May of this year. Did they change names?

Now that you mention it, I wonder what it would be like to convert 2E Kits into 5E Backgrounds.

Yeah, I think that you're right that some would make better backgrounds and others kits. I am actually playing with the idea of only four classes at first level: priest, rogue, fighter, wizard. You choose your first subclass at 2nd (specialty, thief/bard, paladin/ranger/fighter, school specialist) and then your kit at 3rd - those who want to start play knowing what they are can run a game starting at 2nd or 3rd - for those who like to play to find out, start at 1st.

Nope, that's Alex. He lives in the UK, been around since the very early days, and I've gamed with him a couple of times at Kevin Kulp's house.

Not exactly pithy is it?

I'm also pretty sure I did a bunch of posts in the 3.0/3.5 days that seem to be lost to time and the Internet. My witty, sparkling first-post-of-record [EDIT - actually is] :

The DEMON organization has been around through previous editions of the Hero System but this is the first definitive treatment that the popular mystics have received.

I'd have to respectfully disagree with the author, here. DEMON was the subject of Organization Book 2 for old Champions, Primus and DEMON; while somewhat anemic by modern standards, the Organization Books were considered to be "definitive treatments." The organization also received a decent writeup in the 4th edition supplement Classic Organizations, again a "definitive treatment." This is the latest such definitive treatment, and undoubtedly the best.

So, totally unrelated to D&D.

My first post was about doing D&D 4E combat as a skill challenge.

My first post is from at least two iterations of the forums ago in 1999 or very early 2000.

My first post was in a thread from 2007 titled "The 4e Mystery Race is going to be..."

The note about organizing into an Empire seems to exclude most if not all of the Eberron races- the whole point of Changelings is that they don't form collective groups.

There's a lot of talk about Drow and the half-dozen other Elf-ish types, but what of their darker Dwarven cousins? I buy Derro or Duerger fleets as much as I do Orc.

My money's still on Hobgoblin, but I'd prefer an evil Dwarf to another Elf

Let's see.

1. Early naïve excitement over 4e? Check.
2. Is Eberron in there in some fashion? Check.
