Well,
Why not check out IronRuby, it's an attempt to implement Ruby on the .NET Common Language Infrastructure using the Dynamic Language Runtime developed by Microsoft.
I'm not sure if it'll immediately give you access to everything inside of RGSS, because there's probably foundational aspects to RGSS that wouldn't be present in the Common Language Runtime, but you get the advantage of being able to use any class from the CLR.
You'll need a copy of Visual C# express to compile the library; however, you'll be able to use it as a reference inside your Visual Basic Project. You can't reference C# projects without compiling them in Visual Basic, because that's a feature left to Visual Studio, which combines all of Microsoft's languages into one program.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

While you may be able to use Ruby, you won't be able to use RGSS, since there are hidden classes and other items not stored within user access. However, if you have sufficient scripting knowledge, it would not be impossible for you to write replacements for those classes (I know Sephy and Trick did so).
However, there really is no benefit to RGSS outside of RM. Fret not- If you know RGSS, Ruby isn't hard.

Yeah, stuff like the Audio/Bitmap class you'd have to write from scratch, which is the bare bones of EVERYTHING related to the RPG Maker XP program. Sure, whatever you're making probably already utilizes audio/bitmap, but you'd still need to create a Bitmap class to at least manipulate common methods used in standard RGSS (like 'draw_text') in your scripts still, if you're 'scripting' RGSS in your project, good luck :thumb:
