The WP7 SDK and Tools are free, and they come with an emulator you can use to start working and testing if you like the environment.You need to test on a real device sooner or later, but you can start without paying anything and later decide if it´s worth.Also, for university students there´s a Microsoft program called Dreamspark that allows them to access nearly all Microsoft products for free (that includes the WP7 subscription).For small companies there´s a similar program called Bizspark, which is free the first 3 years, but not sure if it comes with the WP7 subscription.Feel free to ask more questions if you want, I´m a Microsoft MVP in XNA/DX so I know a little about WP7 as it´s one of the supported platforms of XNA, although a RPG app (campaign tracker, char generator, stuff like that) would be done with Silverlight.Also, now that the new version of WP7 has been released (Mango = WP 7.5), I expect more apps to appear, before the tools were a little limited in some places, but now they are a beast <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Regards!Vicente</blockquote>
