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!

This is a tough one especially if you're new at it. It would be a lot easier for you if you are a current member of a board to get an idea on what to expect, how boards functions, etc. There are various forum sites like Yuku, PHPBB (bulletin board) and InvisionBoard; they are free-hosted. Also, make sure you can do coding or find someone else to help you with it. Also, pick a board where you can use your preferred scripting language (HTML, BBcode, some may allow both) and make sure it's not buggy or is comfy to use. As for what type of RP game, it's up to you. Like I said, you may want to get a look or join at others to get a grasp on forum RP. You also want to know what type you're going for. For example, do you want freeform or rules system based?

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.

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:

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
