AVEE'S PROFILE

Using events, you would make one variable for the Action cards and another for the Attribute cards.
Make a custom menu (look for a tutorial on those) where you select the cards you want and it updates the two variables.
Then, when DSS mode is active, have Conditions check the cards and determine which effect you get.
That much can be easily implemented in any RM engine.

The forge idea sounds good. Use a custom menu and Conditions as mentioned above, and also check if the player already knows the skill before you learn it.

@nhubi: My mistake! Thanks for pointing it out :)

I don't remember. At home we had SMB 1-3, Metroid, Double Dragon 1-2, Megaman 2-3, Castlevania 1-3... It probably was one of those.
I also used to rent a lot of games when I was 6-7 and stumbled upon many turds.
Trying out new games you never had heard of was fun in itself though. The internet didn't exist back then and Nintendo Power didn't cover every single title. You looked at the cover art and screenshots on the back and rented/bought the game if it looked good, then hoped the gameplay was good too.

My brothers bought new NES games regularly. At first they did not want me to play Dragon Warrior, Final Fantasy, Crystalis, etc. so I wouldn't delete their saved games, but also because they thought I wouldn't understand English at that age (French is my native language), which was true but I could still understand how to use commands and items and stuff and be able to play. I fell in love with the RPG genre early on.

Did you set the music in the map's properties? If so, there shouldn't be any problem.
