First off, signatures can be set in your profile. That way you don't always have to type them. It's a pretty common newbie forum mistake, I know I made it.

Anyway, your idea is very unclear. An RPG? If by that you mean your typical CRPG (Character RPG, including most MMOs, DnD, and the like) try adventure mode.

By IP Address RPG, do you mean a MMORPG? IE, online?

DF's system would be... resistant to that, to say the least. It's been thoroughly discussed before (use search!).

Lastly, Toady doesn't accept help, normally. Even from very proficient coders and designers.

Read the dev (http://bay12games.com/dwarves/dev_now.html) notes to get an idea of what he's working on.

Isn't there like, Adventure mode and Toady saying he'll soon be able to let you mine and stuff in adventure mode like DF?

That's what I figured, it was him and his friend.

Anyway -and I literally do not mean any offense by this- stop posting, and start reading. Read all the dev notes, etc. That's all stuff you don't need to suggest.

For example, using all the Fortress Mode skills in Adventure Mode is already planned.

And download firefox. It has a spellchecker.
