Hey im interested in programming an rpg just for kicks and giggles looking for a good free program to do this thanks
Rabbuk

The Java language is free, along with many different IDE's. I prefer NetBeans, but I hear BlueBird ir pretty decent. C++ is free also, and again there are many free IDE's. I use Bloodshed and Microsoft Visual Studio.

Or did you mean you wanted a software package that did everything for you?

A google search for rpg game programming reveals lots of possibilities.

Check out this page:
Game Creation Resources There are tons of applications there for all sorts of games.

Here's an interesting page from about.com: Write Interactive Fiction and Adventure Games
