This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I don't know what I'm doing

RPGs aren't like wargames, storytelling and board games. Wargames, storytelling and board games are like RPGs. :D

Seriously, looking at it from the other direction may help.

As for why make a game? Because the idea sings to you! I wrote 54 pages of my RPG in five weeks, more than I ever had before and now that I'm re-writing in an outline, the ideas come fast and easy.

As to not knowing how to do something? Practice makes perfect. My first RPGs were pretty bad. Decimal-point attributes...I made literally dozens of unskilled RPGs before my RPG writing leveled and I made something half-decent. :)

Same way with GM'ing. The more I does, the better I gets. :)
The main problem with government is the difficulty of pressing charges against its directors.

Given a choice of two out of three M&Ms, the human brain subconsciously tries to justify the two M&Ms chosen as being superior to the M&M not chosen.
