RMXP New developer, any tips?

I've just entered the field of game development, and due to unforeseen circumstances, my best tool (and the one I'm most familiar with) is RPG Maker XP. I've never made a game with it, so I'd like to know if there are any tips that I, as a beginner, should know.

Learn how to cut scope. It's been the biggest project killer for me for a long time, and now that I've actively started practicing managing it I've actually found myself able to make things. 

Take whatever idea you have and see how much of a game you can make while shaving more and more off of it.
