You know, I kind of have a prejudice against ENworld because in my (probably mistaken) perception it seems to be basically D20 and D&D only. They sort of represent in my head the vast majority of mainstream gamers that for reasons I can never comprehend have no reason to do anything but play WotC's D&D. How much of that prejudice is true?
The main reason I don't actually go and properly investigate myself is because I find there choice of board colours to be very difficult for me to read. And they are all about the giant avatars and fifty gazillion little doohickeys on the left hand side as well.
I think you're right as to the player base- there's some OGL stuff too, though.
No offense , Walker, but they play it because it's fun for them. I will admit, however, after talking to a couple of fellows at the FLGS, that I'm a bit mystified by certain segments of this population myself. I always have been, I guess, but my RL contact with them has been minimal until quite recently.
But they're having a good time, so it's all cool, and I've met some White Wolf guys who had a bunch of the same exact issues. What are these issues? I can't really explain them, actually.
