    What makes a map "Good"?

    I read a lot about good mapping and bad mapping, but I never see any real substance as to what makes a map either good or bad. So, I was wondering about the general mood of you, as players, what makes a map good? What makes a map bad? For me, I am only really picky about big maps with either A)...

    Planning Maps

    Hello everyone! As a newcomer with the RPG Maker engine, I've a hard time getting into mapping. So I thought I ask you guys for some input: How do you plan your maps? What tools do you use to plan them? How important is mapping to you? And what is the most important part for you when...

    The minimal RPG

    A common beginner mistake I've seen many, many people make is that they are overambitious with their games - especially when it comes to RPGs. I started to wonder: what would be the absolute minimum to make a game an RPG? Which features do you think are essential to the genre? Also, which...

    Discussion: Why an RPG?

    I thought I'd start off a conversation to introduce myself to the forums properly.
