The '''Role-Player's Vault''' is a collection of [[role playing game]]s, written by Samuel Stoddard and hosted on the [[RinkWorks]] web site.

[[As of 2005]], the vault has two games available for play:
* ''Murkon's Refuge'', a game where a group of [[hero]]es have to descend a [[labyrinth]] ten levels deep to defeat the evil archmage Murkon.
* ''Murkon's Vengeance'', a sort-of sequel to ''Murkon's Refuge'', where the player takes the role of Murkon, and has to ascend the labyrinth to the surface, killing parties of heroes along the way.

Both games are ''[[Wizardry]]'' clones played on the [[Internet]] via a [[web browser]]. ''Murkon's Refuge'' was originally published on RinkWorks in [[March 2002]] and ''Murkon's Vengeance'' was published in [[May 2005]].

==Technical details==
The games run as [[Common Gateway Interface|CGI]] applications on the RinkWorks [[HTTP]] server. <b>All</b> interaction is done via HTTP, with the RinkWorks server containing all the game logic, and the client computer used only for the [[Graphical Uuser Iinterface|GUI]].

The interface is 100% pure [[HTML]], with HTML form controls used to make the player's choices. No [[Java programming language|Java]], [[JavaScript]] or [[Macromedia Flash|Flash]] is required or used.

The games automatically save the situation on every step. Thus, when a player feels he/she wants to continue later, he/she doesn't have to do anything special. The game will pick up where it left off when it is started again.

(contracted; show full)
* The [[United Kingdom|British]] software company [[Bullfrog Productions]] developed a role playing game called ''[[Dungeon Keeper]]'', where the player's job is to maintain an evil presence in an underground labyrinth and kill off heroic parties.
