I'd like to be a cynical Samurai/PLD NPC (for a pic to work with, go to http://www.ninjaweazel.com/rev/gallery.html ).

All these RPG makers are piqing my interest. I might just have to see about getting my own copy of RPG Maker XP and starting one. Of course, that will have to wait until my current major project is done (the good thing is that I can just re-scale some of the models that I used for the Civ III units and re-render them without changing anything else).
