Answer 1

Your best bet would be to research, research, research!  Just type   "role playing games design tools"  into Google and then just check into link after link.  There is lots of information out there.  I, too, am researching making an rpg and that is what I have done.  I have dozens of great sites bookmarked that I refer to.  One of the best to come up with ideas is http://www.random-generator.com  They have generators for almost everything to really flesh out the game.

Best of luck to you!

Checking out he boardgame Talisman is good advice. The wrong part of her advice is that it is out of print. Not to say that she gave you bad advice, because it was out of print. They just re-released the original Talisman boxed set a month or two ago. For further information see here:

Answer 3

You might want to look at the Games Workshop game Talisman.  It had many of these features but I believe it's currently out of production.

Oh gee, if you don't know what you want to design you probably shouldn't be designing. Check out the hundreds of games out there that use RPG elements and figure out what's missing. Star looking here: www.boardgamegeek.com
