The adventure game description languages I've seen (such as that
created by David Betz) all seem to be heavily based on Lisp, and it
seems natural to do things that way. I don't see it being that much
harder to make a DSL for adventure games in Ruby. At its heart an
adventure game is really a database with a lot of business logic
attached to it... hmm, not really that much different from a complex
web application. The hard part in making an adventure game is writing
the scenario. That takes talent quite apart from coding, and is more
in the domain of creative writing.
