Well, I think it'd be better if you listed the things that good ORPGs have, how to make those things (link to other tutorials if you want), and what you should do to make it interesting and so on. If someone followed this tutorial the result should be very open-ended -- a tutorial is meant to be a guide, not a recipe.
