Particularly as this forum caters to people with an interest in RPG design and technology, I thought introducing The Broken Hourglass might be welcome.

The Broken Hourglass is a party-focused role playing game with emphasis on story and character development. TBH takes place in the Tolmiran Empire, a Byzantine-influenced world of politics, swords, and sorcery. The game will be the first to run on WeiNGINE, a 2D isometric/orthographic engine with a point-buy character/creature system, XML-based data structures, and a functional, type-inference script language.

Of specific interest to designers, every month we run a column called "Inside the Engine" where we document the inner workings of WeiNGINE and reveal tips and tricks for content development and modding. Some of the techniques we use may be informative to those of you designing your own engines, or looking for technologies to license.

Some resources of note on the site:

- Broken Hourglass screenshots
- Introduction to item creation
- Stories staged in the game's setting of Tolmira
- Mailing list signup

Doesn't look too shabby. Keep at it! :) Looks promising.
