I'm trying to get some small time publicity to hopefully provoke some interest in a project I’ve been constructing now for several years.
My idea has been to take features from many of the games I’ve most enjoyed in the past, (being a VERY avid gamer of both the pen and paper and video game world) and place all those features into a single, diverse environment.
The proposed goal of this project has been to construct a potentially persistent fantasy universe constructed with unique races, magic, mystery and the ever-fluctuating hues between that of light and darkness.
The premise of this world is to allow players to customize and construct empires that thrive, live harmoniously with, or plot the destruction of neighboring militant forces.
If I could best describe the types of games I’ve used as inspiration for this project, they would most definitely be games such as: Everquest (http://eqlive.station.sony.com/), Final Fantasy Tactics, Masters of Magic, the Warcraft series (http://www.blizzard.com/war3/), Romance of the Three Kingdoms series (http://www.koei.com/games/index.cfm) and games of that ilk.
Currently I have page after page of information pertaining to game play, features, statistics to hundreds of units, hundreds of unique and magical items, 16 chooseable religions (known as the followings), and 16 playable races (8 in which follow the darker path and 8 in which bend toward the light).
I have unique ideas to enable characters to customize their forces by holding powers over diverse schools of magic that may be used as defensive, or to devastate enemy units and places of specific interest such as enemy owned cities, or rare, highly sought after mineral deposits of material such as Mithril, or the powerful "gem ores" located across these worlds.
I'm currently in a stage of balance passing all my information, ensuring that the game runs smoothly during play and that each player has enough diversity in their own choices to ensure balance and tactical superiority based off personal choices instead of what could occur should (for example) one race be superior than another.
This is an armature project, though I have a very high interest in the chance that I might one day come to present my ideas to a sponsor or gaming company to turn this concept into reality.
Until that time might ever arise. This untitled game is going to remain within the realm of small time computer programs and pen and paper play. I'm always interested in anybody serious enough to attach themselves to such an endeavor, artists, programmers, webmasters, or just somebody knowledgeable enough in the RPG world that believes they might have some great ideas please get in contact with me and let's discuss those potential interests.
My email is Morgander_Bromzain@hotmail.com, you can also open up com channels with me through msn (using this e-mail of course) as I'm logged on almost every day.
I have also created a very basic message board so that I might keep up to date information for interested parties to view as progression on this project continues.

If I understand him correctly, he is trying to use video games to create a board game RPG. So this shouldn't be off topic. If he is talking about a video game though, then you're right.
