Getting started (noob question alert)

[Busybody]

I recently downloaded the trial version of RMVX, began playing around with it and checking out all the different features, drawing up some random maps which don't look half bad for someone like me with no artistic talent whatsoever, I ultimately decided that I should give the actual game making process a try.

Only thing is... I have no idea where to start. I have a plotline partially drawn out based on a number of my favorite RPG titles that I could use if only for getting used to the process. But where in the editor would be the best place to start?

I apologize in advance if I sound noobish. I'm just a little shy :/.

This has actually been debated numerous times.  We (the community) have never been able to agree on the best way to start.  I suggest you start with your first map and begin creating the story from there.  Other things you can do are create detailed characters, create all the classes, skills, items, weapons, and armor you want (a rather tedious process which I add last), or go through a make a storyline for the game.  It just depends on your preference, really.

I am making my as I go along. Gives a lot of creative freedom, at least.

I agree with skaithe, make it scene by scene, that way if yu want to change something you only need to change one plae instead of the whole game.
