Hi, Brandon. As a developer I can certainly say RPG games are in the relm of possabilities. The biggest task would be developing the RPG game engine and then the *.map files of the worlds, and of course the various classesand types of adventurers and monsters. Some may remember just before I took over Monty I was interested in developing such a engine. The only hang up was I took on two new games which put the RPG off in some other time and place.
