I think a simple game would be good to start with. But given your ambitious goals, whilst you are designing I would ask oneself would this work for say AD&D 3.5. Particularly in reference to that system, I would observe that very often it feels that sometimes X is defined in terms of Y and sometimes the other way round. Can you cope with all of those complexities?

"RFC" means "request for comments" so its not such a big deal. If it is going to be in perl it should be posted under mediatations here.

Could you be more specific about what you see as defective in the tools you mention as I have not come across them? Also you didn't mention any vision for connectivity. Do you have no plans for the tools to either within a local network or to prepare files for upload to the internet?

Also how familar are you with object orientation and do you have a favourite OO technology? RPGs I think cry out for OO design.

I guess I cannot emphasise the importance of doing a product review. It would provide you with a better idea of the what works, what does not and what you are letting yourself in for.
