you'll need funding to purchase all your development hardware and software
then you'll need a team to help you out, unless you're really talented
then you'll need a publisher who thinks your game is worth printing

a better idea would be to get yourself a job as director of a good development company

not having done any of these things or researched them i wouldn't really know - try writing really polite letters to some people in the industry asking for advice, politely

I think its a great idea, but these in house projects never seem to work out, nobody ever wants do do their work.

For one they don't realize how much work is actually involved in making a game, ecspecially an Rpg, and since their not getting paid or any other kind of incentive, they put it aside as a "I'll get to it later" project.

Always seems to happen.

Well, if you're serious, the AMP2 engine (I think) from Slam Software (I think) is available for only $199 (I think), which shouldn't scare off serious developers.

Hey, it beats a license for the Source or Unreal Warfare engine.
