I have few experience with RPG softwares, but if your "domain" logic si 
anything more than trivially complex, it's always better to keep it as 
decoupled as possible from the user interface (unless of course the user 
interface actually is the domain !-). FWIW, this doesn't prevent you 
from using a web framework as the front-end...
