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 Refuge'' originally dates back to the [[1980s]]. In his school years, Stoddard was a devoted fan of computer [[role-playing game|RPG]]s, and he wrote his first RPG, ''Swords and Sorcery'', in [[BASIC programming language|BASIC]] on an [[Apple IIe]].

Later, in college, Stoddard decided to write a better RPG. In [[1993]], he wrote the first version of ''Murkon's Refuge'' in [[C programming language|C]] on a [[
Unix|UNIX]] computer. This ''Murkon's Refuge'' ran locally on the user's computer and used [[ASCII art]] to display the graphics in the game.

In [[2000]], Stoddard began rewriting ''Murkon's Refuge'' in [[C Plus Plus|C++]] as a client-server game, and it was published on RinkWorks in [[2002]].
