Oh yes Dino, I still remember you. If anything I'm the one that probably isn't remembered too much. Although I was around and did try and start a ton of rpgs(A billion Final Destination ones, a few Scream ones, A Blair Witch one, a One Missed Call One, Black Christmas ect) I mostly either played or read along. The RPG IMDB wiki is still up and your Goon Road pages are still up. Sad to see you lost the stories though- I'd love to read them.
I wouldn't be surprised if everyone lost everything. It's been so many years. I remember saving some RPGs on my old computer but then that crapped out on me years back and well, that was that. I crave those good times we used to have. I see some people have tried to re-start the RPG craze but many of them just don't have time like they used too and I understand. Back then most of us were in high school and now we're adults with jobs, careers, and responsibilities so we don't exactly have all day to sit at a computer and write an RPG.
So many talented writers and so many fun stories back then. I truly regret not savoring that time. -

I do miss the old days, but in a way I'm glad I got away from the RPG's. I'm enjoying my script writing more. The RPG's were fun and all and they did help me improve mt writing, but I got a little tired of trying to appease the players when they asked me if I could/could not do this or that or people not playing, etc. At least with the scripts I can tell the story I want the way I want to tell it. Nice to know Goon Road lives on somewhere other than my mind. It is sad I lost those stories, but you could say I've moved on to bigger and better things.
I agree no one really has time anymore. Real life always came first though. We had plenty of good times and I'm glad I was a part of it.
If you're really feeling nostalgic and looking for something to read I do have something I'm looking for feedback on. If you're interested I could PM it to you. Don't feel obligated to say yes or anything. Just figured I'd ask.

Totally. PM me! I'd love to read and give you feedback on it.
And you are correct. I think writing fan fiction and RPGs at that time was good as it helped us all develop a hunger for writing but these days I'd rather put my efforts and ideas into original works for myself. Not to mention RPGs were quite difficult to write- especially when you had to try and make other people's characters fit into your vision of the story without tampering too much with their personalities and the player's expectations. But yeah go ahead and send me your project! -

Well it appears that the world has ended- the IMDB boards will be closing. I guess I can get that silly fantasy out of my head of those days of RPGs returning. Even if most of you don't remember me(TwistedFate_L4) I remember most if not all of you and I would like to say the RPGs gave me so much joy throughout the years and it truly does feel like the end of an era.
Good luck to you all in your journeys! -

I guess this really is the end of the IMDb RPGs. It's just crazy to think about, I've been on these message boards for over 11 years and now they're actually closing down. Around the same time I started going on them too back in February 2006. This was a huge part of my life for so many years and I'm gonna miss you guys!
For anyone who would like to remain in contact, shoot me a PM!.
It was fun and I thank you all!
Good luck.
-Kenny.
Happy New Year!
