Recolouring. Discuss.
It works better in 3D games where using a different texture (or even different model) and possibly voice set can make the same enemy look vastly different next encounter. An interesting twist is in the Adventure Quest game - the dragons, for instance, are just palette swaps at first glance, but there are subtle differences from the norm (e.g. the Wind Dragon has feathered wings and the Earth dragon doesn't have any).
On the practise of recoloring, it helps to get some diversity for limited sprites.

Encounters Mechanics
An interesting encounter mechanic I've seen is in Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis - on any map, if you want to grind, there's the "Training" option - but instead of battling random foes, you split your troop in two sides and have them battle. Yes, they won't die from it and yes, you do get exp for that. An interesting side note is that if you level up very much from this, you get the "Bogus Hero" award, that prevents you from getting critical hits.

A interesting idea for a new Rpg maker.
I heard that there's a hacked version of RPG Maker 2000 that expands its features and improves the interface. I'd look into that.
Story vs. Features
What I think is that though story elements can sometimes not fit in a game, gameplay elements are the feature that makes the video game medium stand out. Story is just as important as gameplay, but beginners should worry more about the gameplay features because those are that make it a game instead of a novel or a movie.

That's a really useful guide you posted there. If it happens to be not in the article section of this site, post it there.
Religion in games
Like in real life, one should consider the different "flavors" a religion can have - to take real examples, there are beliefs such as Hinduism where there is a belief that many gods exist. There's also beliefs such as Christianity, who believe that only one god exists. Finally, there are beliefs such as Buddhism, where worshipping a deity is not part (or at least not a major part, I'm not that much into it) of the religion, but rather one's own journey in life.
Religion on it's own is a good way to explain and/or enrichen the culture and structure of society.
