Hrmm.....How to start out?

Hrmmm.....How Do I start this out? Well, let's just go with this:

I am an aspiring (and by that, I mean noobish) game designer who has come up with concepts for games more times than I can count. While most of those projects were...how do I put this... too ambitious for my current station, I do have one I plan to make using RPG maker VX ace (or, I quote my own GDDs: "whatever RPG maker is the most up to date at the time"), hence why I am here.

I have a question related to this forum, seeing as I don't see an FAQ:

Does anyone here Beta-read GDDs? Even though said GDD is not yet complete, it's good to know in advance.

Oh, and nice to meet everyone!

Welcome to the group!

I haven't heard of anyone beta-reading GDDs, that doesn't mean no-one will, I just haven't heard of it being done.

"GDD" means "Game Design Document" and is basically the written (or typed) plan for the game. One game of mine has a 279 page GDD, and that does NOT include the story, only the mechanics and and all creature stats and attacks.

I see, got one of these two, but it's only 100 sites long. (\s/)
Actually also working it in the momentary RPG. /)

I'm grateful to be welcomed by this community, even though I'm still a newbie at game design (and I don't have any experience with the actual coding or business or anything else to do with game development,so I'm still trying to learn the ropes. A little help, anyone?)
