Make a game about how a couple's wedding cake was eaten by a shark. The couple must then fish the shark out of the sea and eat the shark instead. Call it, 'Wedding cake eating sharks of doom'

Here's an idea:
A slacker named John goes on quest to find a perfect girlfriend (Or in simple terms, he wants to get laid.), but troubles await as he has to travel through dungeons, avoiding/attacking monsters and demons. But as he gets deeper into his quest he finds out that he is the Chosen One to destroy Daimou, the Demon King. Then, later, people join his quest to destroy Daimou. Gokuvegeta, a Dragon Ball Z fan who has learned how to use Ki (Like in DBZ.) and he achieved the power of the Super Saiyan; Michael Jackson, a pedophile who shoots laser beams out of his croach; Mickey Mouse, a mouse. All of these people join you as you progress through the game. But John doesn't care about the 'Chosen One' crap, he just wants to get laid.
It'll be called: "The Saga of John: The Quest for Sex"

This is the second time I've heard of this. What is it really? A program in which you can make games? What's it for and is it possible to include other video game characters(sp?) in it? It sounds pretty interesting.
RPG Maker 2003? That's a tool that makes it able for your average everyday citizen to create their very own RPG. Get an ample supply of sprites, get a plot to keep the players interested, and you're all set. Unfortunately I've never actually heard of anything mind breakingly amazing coming from the program other than a Fawful fangame which I probably shouldn't be linking to. (Not that I know where it is, for that matter.)
Anyway, back to the topic creator's question; Ideas for a game to make. Inevitably, only you can really decide what the plot is going to be, but here's a few questions about the plot to get you going:
What type of setting does the plot have? Futuristic, magical, reality (<--Avoid having only that)?
What kind of person is the main character? Kind, angry, mysterious?
Where does the main character live? Jungle, mountains, ocean?
What type of work does the main character do? Deliver newspapers, king of the world, sell as a mercenary?
Does the main character have some sort of trademark ability? Throw ninja stars at a rate of three per second, eat a lot of cheese, remarkable swordsman?
If you need help getting random graphics or something, search for whatever the official RPG maker site is, or a decent unofficial fansite. Or if you decide to make a game based off of official characters/decide you want some background out of some game, you could grab something off of The Spriters Resource; a sprite site dedicated to such a thing for use in pretty much anything you want. Use it as it is, get someone to edit it for you... anything. http://sprites.fireball20xl.com/
You'll probably need music too, yes? You won't want to put the best sounding .mp3 file in your game, because the end result compiled will be that much bigger. It's a good idea to use a good sounding MIDI file processed with a better sounding soundfont, AKA use a midi that sounds good and use something to make it sound better. I don't know if RPG Maker 2003 is extendable by DLL's or not... If it is you may want to look into getting a good sound controller for the program. Otherwise, just stick with MIDI's if you don't want to go through a load of trouble.
Sounds for when your character does something are also important. Search for "free sounds" or ".wav" on google and I'm sure you'll find some free sounds to use.
Making a game can be a lot of fun, just as long as you like whatever you're planning on making. As long as that is true, you'll most likely make something awesome.

lol, been a while since I've used that ^_^
If you're thinking of a plot and name, think about the plot first, then make the name.
To me, I think it's best not to take someone's idea and then develope it, because as you develope it, you don't know if you will then continue it with the same interest as you started. You can take someone's idea as an inspiration though.
If you wish a good RPG storyline, I advise you NEVER go directly along the lines of "To Save the World" or "To Become the Best!" or "You want to Beat that guy up", they do get really tedious : P (And many times it appears)
If you have Disgaea: Hour of Darkness, I think you should check it out, because to me, the storyline is a master piece, along with the characters and music. I mentioned Shadow Hearts 2 before too : )
Some stories back in the SNES were good too, you might like to think back to them. Chrono Trigger for example, I thought was above good, Terranigma if you've heard was pretty neat.
Lunar Legend wasn't bad either, just one part annoys me that fell on the top lines : P
Well let's keep this simple, since it looks like it's the first RPG you're making ; )
- From the games you have played, think about what you like about the storylines in them. What mostly addicts you to that storyline.
- Then try and come up with a plot from the ideas you liked from other storylines. Remember to tidy your ideas first : ) You can't just throw everything you like in, throw some away : )
- Now create a main character from maybe characters you like most, but make sure that fits with the story : )
- Then fill the other characters in that you may need to complete the story you have already came up with from the first two steps
- Guess at this point you can now start working on the beginning of the story : ) Then develope it.
- Once you finish the story, look back at it again, and see what things might you want to change/remove/add.
- BE AWARE that you're NOT copying other people's characters and story, because when you do this, it often happens : )
- And now, think about the music. You can always use ones that are already made : ) This is better for first RPG games, because you can focus on how to create an atmosphere out. Just put them in, listen to it, and se if it sounds right : )
- Try to AVOID using cheesy music and scenes, it can be disturbing if used wrong,
e.g. A Character holding a sword up saying "Let's Go!", then yells as he jumps of a cliff to a dungeon to save someone, that's bad. However... if
A Character sees an important character falling down, and then he dives down and as he falls, he trys and grab her hand to safe her, while the other character trys to grab his hand, eventually one of they're finger touches, then slips and falls... (Ok, let's not get too in this)
That's Good... but to me that's typical...
Anyway PM me anytime if you want me to have a look at your story : )
Lastly,
Good Luck! ^_^

How about something like a guy who can transform into any animal he confronts in the game.<----Thought about this oneday and figured it was a cool game idea.
Or maybe you could be half werwolf and half vampire that goes around killing everything in its path. <---From the movie Underworld.
