I figured you were pretty much doing it for yourself.  I'm not even sure how
big a user base openrpg even has at this point.  I'm going to stay out of it
because I know you are a much better coder than me and I'd only hack the code
up in very bad ways and you would have to come along and fix anything I did. 
It is just good to see you coding again.
