Guess that game!
rm2k3, random picture x/y coords
I didn't realize your keypress event was at the top. If that is the case, it won't even attempt to display the picture until you push a button. Are you erasing the picture further down the event upon a successful input? If so, you are basically pressing a button, displaying a picture, checking which button was pressed and, if it failed: erasing it. If it succeeded: erasing it. All in an instant. And considering the input is made before a visual prompts you which button to press... yeah. You want to prompt the player for input -after- the picture is displayed.
rm2k3, random picture x/y coords
Your event isn't working like it should if the picture isn't being displayed. Insert debug messages after every line to determine the cause. For example:
Message Box (wait): "Randomizing (Dig Picture X) and (Dig Picture Y)
Var Oper: (Dig Picture X) Set, Rnd (25-295)
Var Oper: (Dig Picture Y) Set, Rnd (25-225)
Message Box (wait): "Dig Picture X = (Dig Picture X), Dig Picture Y = (Dig Picture Y)"
Message Box (wait): "Displaying Dig_Down picture"
Show Picture: 1, Dig_Down, (V Dig Picture X, V Dig Picture Y)
Message Box (wait): "Dig_Down picture displayed"
Message Box (wait): "Waiting for keypress"
Etc.
If what your message box displays isn't matching what you're seeing, that is where your disconnect is happening. This is how I debug complex systems in RM2K3.
Edit: Looking at your image, it could possibly be your keypress variable check. When the variable isn't 1 it is immediately erasing the picture... There isn't anything that makes it wait. One thing you can do is set a loop that checks to see if the player has pushed a button. Basically, right after you Show Picture 1, set a loop that checks a switch called "ButtonPress" or something similar. If ButtonPress=ON then break the loop. Then, whatever common event has your key input event, have it turn ButtonPress ON whenever it triggers. This is just one potential solution, without seeing the rest of your eventing. It isn't ideal but it is an effective band-aid (I prefer to keep my events running one line at a time since it is easier to de-conflict them, rather than having things run parallel to each other).

I need more information. You could have some other process that's erasing picture one. Your picture might be fully transparent. Check the basic stuff first. Your events may not even be triggered. Right before your show picture event, add a message box that displays the X and Y variables, and maybe add the exact same message box immediately after the show picture event. There is a disconnect somewhere in your events, because I can definitely get a picture to pop up at random grids using the three events you posted (along with a 3.0 second wait in between each cycle).
Muammar Gaddafi Defeated
It is important to note that Libyans asked the international community for help. Intervention wasn't a one-sided decision.

Tactics RPGs!
author=grandmothergamer
I also like Heroes of Might and Magic IV. The map editor makes it possible to create games in a very easy way and play the various scenarios.
You should be shot. HoMM4 is a travesty.
On the subject of Silent Storm... That game was really neat, but the balance got really whacky once you started getting the mechanized armor (which doesn't take that long). On western-styled TRPGs in general, the Ghost Recon game on 3DS is actually pretty good.
Anyway, for the Japanese-styled ones, Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis has exceptional level design, but building an overpowered squad in Final Fantasy Tactics is too much fun. Both are fantastic. Shining Force from the Sega Genesis/Megadrive gets a nod for getting me into the genre, and I recommend snagging it for iOS.
While it's not a TRPG, I think fans of the genre can appreciate a gem called Majesty. It's a RTS/RPG/Kingdom sim thing--I am not entirely sure how to categorize it. You can snag Majesty 2 for $10 on Steam. I guess the "complete" version is $20 but I don't think the expansions are really worth it.
