Taken from the blurb at the top of the page from the old board.

“You can post stories or poems here, and also play RPG games. But please remember that this is an ALL AGES board—any entries deemed inappropriate for children will be deleted, and could lead to a ban from the board. “

I’m going to assume that this will continue.

I can’t wait to see all the new RPGs and what-have-you!

An RPG is a role playing game, where, on forums at least, everyone assumes a character and you follow a story, writing as if you were the character. :) Have a look down a bit and you’ll see some examples (some good… some not so good). Izzik and Deonblasters Future Strike (when it starts up properly, and also the little bit of messing around with their characters they’ve done here) would give you a good indication of what it means to play an RPG.

Meh, I value spelling, grammar and substance. Theres nothing wrong with it if you’re young and not very practised, but if you put enough effort into making everything you post your very very best work, it makes you into a far better writer, helps with school work, and also is far more enjoyable to read.

Well at least people are giving it ago. As long as everyone involved is having fun and enjoying themselves theres no harm surely.

No harm no foul. Now perhaps you should stop being mean about it, Danny? :)

The first time Deon and I ran Future Strike it was off the top of our heads. The plot and stuff it has now is only because it was initially created about 5 years ago.
