LK, you forgot to include vars_modifications.cgi. I created a file with the following in it and it worked fine afterwords.
%vars_modifications = (
);
1;
An error has occured:
Can't open '/home/wewfhfc/public_html/cgi-bin/roleplay/vars_modifications.cgi'.
Permission was denied - please ask the administrator to check the permissions on that file/directory!
The exact error returned by the operating system is:
Permission denied
