Kobold Quarterly Forum Community
Recently the "edition wars" over which edition of Dungeons & Dragons is the one true version have overwhelmed a lot of the best gaming forums out there. From the 3.5 and Pathfinder zealots at the Paizo forums, to the rabid 4e fans on the ENWorld and Wizard of the Coast forums, it has become difficult to have an interesting conversation about gaming. It's no secret to anyone who reads this site regularly that I'm a bit of a Paizo fanboi, but I confess, I've avoided their forums lately because of the polarized atmosphere that I see on their forums. That's not to say that I never go there and never contribute... I still do (it's like an addiction, really). ENWorld and the Wizard of the Coast forums are even worse (and I confess that I've pretty much stopped going to both of those entirely), and many of the other gaming forums are either too small or have too small a tabletop gaming fan base to keep conversations going.
So, I have a recommendation for a refuge. The forums at the Kobold Quarterly are friendly, knowledgeable, and it's still possible, at least for now, to carry on a decent conversation there. I read a lot of gaming forums (though stopping ENWorld and Gleemax/WotC certainly gave my reading time for the rest of them a boost!), and I am happy to have found a place again where I can just chat about gaming.
Oh, and if you want to check it out... the actual product Kobold Quarterly puts out is excellent, reminding me of the old Roger Moore and Kim Mohan days of Dragon. But I've plugged Kobold Quarterly the magazine enough before, for now, just check out the forums. If it helps, the site has some fun extras too... interviews with industry luminaries, free new monsters by some pretty damn good designers... really, just check it out!
By the way.... I'm not trying to attack passionate fans of Pathfinder or 4e... I'm a passionate fan of both. It's just frustrating to see the level of civil discourse descend to such depths. So visit Kobold Quarterly and say hi on the forums; it's still friendly there!

to be honest, this is why i stopped interacting with the gaming community AT ALL after 3e came out. virtually the day that game hit everyone became rabid and fanboyish on a level normally reserved only for PS/Xbox/Nintendo arguments.
