I have mixed feelings about this. Yes, HTML is more powerful and easy to understand. But HTML is vulnerable to XSS and script injection and all that; I don't want bart to have to deal with having his site hacked. Plus people do all kinds of funny things with HTML that I don't want to see. I remember all of what happened on MySpace.
If the missing tilesets I mentioned in my previous post above were provided, I'd be able to convert my HTML5 demo game from 32x32 to 16x16 and to use 100% open graphics. The main reason I went with 32x32 in the first place is that most of the good "free" tilesets I could find online were 32x32. 16x16 would actually be better for download performance reasons.
Since we already have so many pieces of it already like sprites, why not make a 16x16 JRPG tileset? We have a lot of sprites, as well as a castle exterior, town exterior, and town interior. We particularly need an overworld, some cave/dungeon tilesets, a castle interior, etc. Best of all it would be useful for the phone games that are so popular these days.
I don't think he ever posted an exact license agreement, other than to say it is free to use without credit but can only be hosted at rpg-palace. He charges about $500 for any commercial use though, so I'm pretty sure the license is non-commercial and therefore not open enough for this site. I suggest you email him if you have any questions.
Moved the game to Github since webs.com was serving svg images with wrong mime type.
Thanks, verbalshadow.
wokste,
Thanks so much for taking the time to review my game, and especially for your constructive feedback. You deserve a badge for that!
I've implemented both your technical comments. Random encounter frequency is reduced from 0.25 (1 in 4) to 0.2 (1 in 5), I hope it plays better.
I know I'm lacking in the graphics department, but I've had a lot of difficulty in attracting any sort of artistic talent. :(
Updated first post with all my progress.

Good job and nice save!

I've been using Inquisitor's tilesets for my game and they have what you need also. Unfortunately, they are noncommercially licensed.
