ENWorld


EN World is a British-owned tabletop role-playing game news and reviews website founded in 2000, which grew from the earlier "Eric Noah's Unofficial D&D 3rd Edition News" site (which was active from 1999-2001).

The main focus of EN World is on tabletop role-playing games, initially Dungeons & Dragons, but currently discussion of all role-playing games takes place. The website is run and owned by Russ Morrissey, more commonly known as Morrus.

EN World publishes news about the tabletop role-playing game hobby. It is known for current news and product rumors.

EN World is one of the world’s largest and oldest tabletop RPG communities. An international community of nearly a quarter-million gamers constitutes the forum members, who discuss tabletop RPGs in-depth. Play-by-post games are also played using the EN World message boards. The Living EN World games use a "communal rogues' gallery" for all characters that have been accepted into the "living world"; these characters, once approved, may be used in any game being run in the particular "living world."

Every year in association with the Gen Con gaming convention, beginning in 2002, EN World has hosted the ENnies - an award show recognizing the best role-playing game products and publishers for the preceding year. The first ENnies were held online in 2001, and the following year they were officially announced at Gen Con. The ENnies are now officially known as the "Gen Con EN World RPG Awards", for all tabletop role-playing game products, and as of 2017 are run by Business Manager, Stacey Muth.

In October 2005, the EN World GameStore opened, selling downloadable RPG products. Sellers on the GameStore could use their profits to buy other people's products, or transfer the money to PayPal to make it otherwise usable. Likewise, buyers could transfer cash from PayPal or a similar service to purchase any non-free product. The GameStore was sold to DriveThruRPG a year later, in 2006.

EN Publishing is the publishing arm of EN World. It has published over 300 books, including the What's O.L.D. is N.E.W. (WOIN) roleplaying game system, as well as its popular EN5ider magazine. In 2016 Angus Abranson joined EN Publishing as business director.
