Just off the top of my head, feel free to add more.

1. Defeat the heroes early on as the antagonist, beat them easily, and then let them live, leaving. It will make the RPers want revenge, meaning they will have to RP further in, get better, and eventually defeat the antagonist in the final battle.

2. Give them a good friend early on, and then kill them off with the antagonist, leave the RPer alive.

"Give them a good friend early on, and then kill them off with the antagonist, leave the RPer alive."

As John and Matthew were chasing the remaining enemy troops, Matthew tripped on a rock and his face landed on a spike and he died.

In short, good advice.

Hm, hooks. DnD teaches you to advance plot through tempting the player.

3. Leave the goal of the roleplay till the real roleplay starts. Gives tham a purpose.

Make people betray the good-guy. Occasionally kill off a PC or two. Make the badguys win at the end of the day. Make it so that the good-guys are only furthering the bad-guy's plans.

Plot of some old story I made up:

Guy in space station is attacked
Space station goes offline
People investigate
People find horrifying enemy
Enemy openly attack
Enemy overwhelms people's planet slowly
People try their best to fight back
Enemy wins a decisive and tactical victory, but people win a strategic victory that will win them the war later.
