I know this is a rather old message I'm responding to but I
thought I'd leave a few coments on the board since I'm involved
in the creation of an RPG myself.

I must say the more I learn about RPGs the more I understand
that the label "Role Playing Game" is a VERY BROAD category.
I'll assume that your RPG is one that will manage player
statistics, skills, weapons, and armor, since most modern
RPGs do. But even so there are hundreds of vastly different
ways to implement it. Even assuming you are going to make it
a graphical game, that alone is a part that has several
possibilities. Are you going to make it 3D? isometric? Top-down?
side-scroller? Is it more skill oriented? What skills will apply?
Will the player's main statistics increase (like diablo) or just
skills? The role playing genre has been succesfully merged with
several other genres: first-person-3D, arcade, adventure (the classic),
strategy (Rage of Mages). You need to consider how the player will
control his/her character(s): mouse? keyboard? joystick? any
combination? Will your game be turn-based, or realtime, or both?

These are just a few things to considder. If you have any
specific questions feel free to ask me and I will answer to the
best of my ability. :)

later,
Lewis Townsend
