Hi, I'm new here, but I have a great story idea for RPG maker if anyone that is super good at programming would like to work with me on it. I'll give a small synopsis and we'll see where we go.
First off the game is going to be based about the Dungeon & Dragons Planescape world so some one who is good with maps and is familiar with Sigil and the Outlands would be great.
Here goes the stories basis: The main party is a small group of friends that reside in a secluded mountain top village. Unknown to them the village holds a secret that only the elder and the lord of the land should know about, but unknowing to this village outside sources want the power that they hold.
The beginning of the story will have the party speaking with the village elder, he's worried because the city at the bottom of the mountain has not sent up a trade caravan in weeks now and the village is running short on supplies. He sends the party down to speak with the residing lord to see where there supplies are. Upon reaching the city they are immediately sent to the Lord's war chamber and told about the terrible happenings that are going on in the worlds politics (unknown to the party these problems are being caused by the petitioners of the Elemental Plane of Fire). The Lord then gives the party an important message for them to deliver back to the village Elder to whom the find badly wounded when they make their way back to the village. The village is completely razed and most of the civilians are dead, in his dying moments the Elder tells you to head to the forbidden caves, and that the Plane of Fire must not awaken their protector from her deep slumber for drastic horrors may happen if she were to form a pact with the wrong people (Summoner Class if someone would like to work on).
If this sounds like something you'd like to work on, please get back at me, I'd really like to make this game a reality, and learn the skills of making a great game through RPG maker (btw I'm using RPG Maker VX).

If I were you, I would make a "practice" game to get used to RPGMaker. Even if you're looking for someone to help you make the game, whoever does the maps and everything is really going to end up being the creator of the game, so you'd basically be getting someone to make your game for you. The best thing for you to do would be to find a good RMVX game that doesn't use any (or almost any) scripts or fancy systems so that you can see what you can easily make. Once you get the hang of RM, it's a lot less intimidating.
So if I were you, I'd make a SHORT practice game and upload it on the site so we can help you get better. Then, start your game idea that you typed above.

Thank you for the advice, I am "experimenting" with the program, so I will attempt to make the basic plot/intro and upload it. I'm not too bad with maps, but when I do start getting the hang of things I need more practice with writing scripts. In the past with previous versions I've had trouble with making events and then erasing them so a NPC can issue another event. I used quite a mundane way of getting past this by using "Key Items". Is there any way to not use that primal system?
This is actually the perfect month to have a story idea. Just scrap the whole game thing and throw yourself into the awesomeness that is NaNoWriMo instead. You won't need any programming skills. just story skills!
