CloseMost everything that needs to be said has been said but I'd like to add that you might not want to go into a project having no idea what you want to do. At the very least, set a goal on game length. Is it going to be a short 30 minutes to an hour game (start to finish), an epic 10 hours of questing or something in the middle?
Since you have never made a game, start to finish before, start small. And I mean REALLY small.
A small, completed project will be a lot better for your portfolio than a smattering of unfinished rpg's. The one completed game not only shows your skills as a game developer but your dedication to a project as well.

Avee, you're right. We shouldn't spend six months on the pre-production stage. Also, I do have some design ideas. I'll address your comments in the original post.
Murray, the team hasn't decided whether the game will be developed with RPG Maker or not. However, I think we'll consider using RPG Maker.
Arcan, I have failed to complete a game. I didn't just write a design document for a Starcraft 2 mod. I spent about a year developing the mod with the Starcraft 2 Map Editor. I recently abandoned the project because (1) I thought the game wouldn't be fun to play, and (2) the game was too ambitious and my programming skills weren't good enough.
Irili, thanks for the advice. I will encourage my teammates to start small. That was the mistake I made with my first project. On the other hand, I also want the team to develop an RPG that the average gamer will want to play.
