Do what Lexy does, make an extremely ugly game consisting of light and dark tiles (foor and wall) with single frame graphics to represent characters. Then put in stats for items and creatures, whatever you want, and make up a goal for players to do, be it quests, dungeon delving, or whatever.

This site has a list of plots that can be used in Dungeons and Dragons. Maybe you can use it to help make quests or come up with a story line for your game.

Sure, but you should probably come up with a plot and stuff first.

Great site, Ebonshadow! I really like http://www.flatearth.com/utilities/storygen.asp as well. Be sure to click the description checkbox for each story element you keep and it will give details. :)

Avoid the words "fantasy", "dragon", and "quest". They are all so overused that they have no impact. As Ebonshadow said, you want to define what sort of atmosphere and mood the game has first, then pick a name that reflects it.

Hehehe yeah I've tried those storygens out before. I think if more people knew about these things, thered be less dbz games and more original games. Well, I guess they wouldn't really be original if they got the idea from that but, it would be a lot better than all these games based on copywritten material, and the games wouldn't all have the same plot. God most of the dbz games dont even have a plot!
