Some people in a Staxel group I'm in, as well as myself, are wanting an mini RPG sort of system. Since one of the NPC's (don't remember which one) talks about hunting monsters, I thought that someone adding monsters and a leveling system would be really cool. A mod like that would probably really intrigue Rune Factory players, like myself, and make the game far more interesting as well as add more things to do.

A possible suggestion for making a mod like this would be, don't let monsters actually be able to enter the town or the farm. Add a zone for monsters to spawn in and have the area right outside of the barn act as an invisible barrier to keep them out. Basically, give them a path system that doesn't let them enter the town or farm. If a player builds a building outside of the current "barrier" then a 2 block radius could be made around from the house so monsters can't freely enter. Unless of course, more people would rather have a setting that allows them to enter player made buildings except the farm.
