game engines

Drudge is the first Ruleset I'm designing, to give an idea of how things will evolve. From the include file:

After actions are done, the next concept I want to tackle are Rulesets. Games built with the RPG will have a Ruleset, which may be unique to the site, shared with other sites, or a combination. Rulesets are the Actions, Events, and basic Objects that build the world for that site. They may be imported and exported, either through a form text area or with an include file. Once in the site, they may be customized using the various administration screens.

Web Game Dev has launched recently. Looks like an interesting resource.

"WebGD (Web Game Dev) is a new site dedicated to bringing people and information together for those who are web game developers or are at least interested in developing games on the internet. Our site brings you the latest web game news, blogs, and forums to discuss your project, or help others with theirs. You can also find the tools you need, or read reviews on the latest tools used in web game development."

Borrowing from CCK, RPG Administrators will be able to create and extend RPG Types using forms in admin screens. Additionally, modules and include files may be used to predefine certain types, which may further be modified in the screens. Finally, types may be exported and imported between sites.
