Role-Player's Vault
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.

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]] 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 
Pplus Pplus|C++]] as a client-server game, and it was published on RinkWorks in [[2002]].

===Story===
<i>This is a brief synopsis of the '''Murkon's Refuge Story''' page on RinkWorks.</i>

For many years, the kingdoms of Peregham and Stiltshire were at war. King Lehowy of Peregham ordered his First Mage Anwyk Arisses to make him a magical diadem to win the war. Anwyk succeeded, but the diadem was stolen by First Mage Murkon of Stiltshire and his three comrades.

* 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.
