Hello!!!
i've discovered RPGmaker2000, and i have started to make a game...but promptly came to a block...i have very little plot....
THAT'S WHERE YOU COME IN!!!
I would be honored if someone here could write me a plot for this so-called game of mine...
what i have so far:
a male character wanders into a castle, and is given work with the king's hunting party, consisting of one other person, Naomi. they are asked to find a magic septer for the king, so they go to the forest to the south and come back with it...
the next quest/task will be under some mountains located to the east of the town.
the male character is a warrior/firemage
if i left anything out just ask me about it, but it's likely that i haven't thought about it, so you get to make it up!!!
i appreicate the help!!! |

There's this girl right, and she has magical powers and a mysterious past, and she meets a thief, and they embark upon wacky misadventures in a large world.
I named her Terra. What do you think?
Just try to make up something yourself, take some time away from the comp, and it'll hit you sometime. Just work on backgrounds and such in the meantime. Layout your world. It'll be good at some point or you could be like Jack (My good crazy friend) and just rip off random RPG's. Either way just do it yourself, it's more fufilling that way. |

I think that you should have a knight that has lost everything he has ever cared about and who embarks on a quest to kill the villian behind all of the hero's pain. |

Selrahc: Or just have him go nuts and try to destroy all of time and you have the plot to Live a Live.
I've dabbled with the PS RPG Maker, plus I think about complicated RPG plots alot. ^_^;
How about making the lead character a War Mage. Basically a fighter/magic user that does only attack spells.
Also you might wanna have the king asking for outside help instead of the wondering into the castle thing. Sounds a little more believable.
Here's some general tips.
Don't show the main villain till at least close to half way though the game.
Don't reveal the villains motives till quite awhile into the second half of the game.
Don't show much of the badguys unless there's a player character there. It's better to not let the player know much more than the characters.
Dream sequences are good. Interactive ones are even better. Don't overdo them though.
Be sure to give players access to backstory about any major historical events mentioned. (example: I made a library that unlocked more and more info as you progressed through the game.)
Make sure there's at least one plot twist and/or revelation. All good RPGs have at least one.
At least one villain should have some kind of personal connection to one of the PC's.
REALLY IMPORTANT! Make sure you define your world. Give a name to the world, kingdoms, main races, gods, and other important things.
That's all I can think of for the moment. If I think of anything else I'll post it. |

I'm serious here. I suggest you make a RPG version of the OMFE comic at Atomictoy.org. It would be the best EVAH! |

Thank you Gryph!
[hugs!]
that should help incredibally...
the main character is a guy who uses a twoo sword technique, and learns fire spells...and a few anti-ice spells
I've developed a basic story line for myself:
the hero starts off walking through a passage(grassy, like a shallow canyon), when he is attacked mistakenly by four evil guards, and their apparent leader. you find out from their copnversation that they were looking for some sort of orb... you can find out a little more from people around. your overall quest is to get revenge on your attackers, and to get the orb...
i would still greatly appericate any suggestions for side quests, to progress the storyline, and to level the hero up...like the septer quest... |
