The Official Welcome Thread

[Arpad]

Well, welcome to the boards, in your current incarnation.

As for Arpad, there was an ancient city in Syria of that name. In European history, Arpad was the leader and founder of Hungary, and his descendants, the Arpads, ruled there for many generations.

Wow! Cool! I didn't know that. Those are all cool. But my name comes from a D&D module, actually. And it's a female name there. Yeah I know not exactly feminine, but I didn't do it.

Ah, an adventure I am probably not familiar with then. However, it is easier to pronounce than some names and makes better sense than some officially published place names... (Mount Nevermind?)

'Ware and were.

Cold Iron avail you

Name's Nisia, which is an anagram of my real name, something done a fair amount for the Greyhawk Setting a long time ago. Ah, been playing D&D for more than 30 years, Traveller since '78, Warhammer since '86 and well, you get the idea. I've also been a Scadian for more than 30 years, a LARP player and co-founder etc ad nauseum. Nice to be here guys. Look forward to a good time.

You might want to avoid phrases like that around this crowd. Welcome aboard though!

Welcome to the boards, Nisia!

I think you will like a lot of things here. Gary Gygax posts her under the pseudonym Col_Plahdoh, and has an ongoign question and answer thread. Plus, there are several good resources here.

If you or any of the new users have a question, try the EN World FAQ link or contact a moderator. You can usually get many technical questions resolved in the Meta forum.

The 2nd edition "Return to the Keep on the Borderlands". Arpad was a 16 year old NG girl who got captured by evil necromancers and forced to become a necromancer. I thought that was a fascinating concept, so I turned her from an NPC into my main character for a quite a long time. I even converted her to 3rd edtion.

The Newest Guy This Minute

Howdy folks! Long time reader, first time poster. I started playing D&D back in the early 80s, took a 15 year hiatus, then started playing again about 5 years ago. I GM a 3.5 group - we started with FR then moved to Eberron shortly after it was released. This board has been a lot of help to us and I figured it was time I return the favor (where I can - I'm hardly an expert). Looking forward to taking a more active role in the gaming community.

Cheers,
Benito

Smiles to all

Hello, thought I would stop in and see what all the hubbabaloo is about. Wow this place is immence.

I have been playing DnD for roughly 12 years now. (I know a pup to most of you.) Have GM'd some, but mostly play. I think my favorite class is the Rogue and variants thereof. I have fiddled with creating classes and items.

Well, I guess that about sums it up. Hope to see you around. Smiles to all
