Working on Roleplayers map

I am currently working on a new roleplayers map. I've seen some roleplayers maps not so good, and I've seen some nice ones. But even the best ones I've seen out have a few flaws. My version is going to have many many more features than the ones currently floating around bnet. If you have some suggestions for features I should include, please post here.

Make sure you add some stuff that makes the game really vary. On your quests, you can take different paths and interact differently depending on what you do. You can say mean stuff to the npcs, they get mad at you, and send you out of the town, you become evil and have to kill the town. You be nice to them, they side with you, and you have to kill the bad guys. That always gives the game a nice twist.

Yeah this is Roleplayer, not Roleplaying Game. I won't bother explaining the difference but if you think I'm talking about RPG then don't bother posting :) Ok I'll go ahead and throw the the basic idea out after all.. very briefly... If you've ever played the D&D maps for StarCraft or the few crappy ones existing for War3 (But not for long! Goo DM MOD!!!) then this shouldn't be hard to understand. Imagine taking a D&D game and turning every single player into a DM, and you basically have RP. Although usually the host still has a little more power then the others (like the ability to ban)

Really can't wait for that DM MOD either
(Wow I jsut had a thought, what if they made roleplayers map out of the DM system in DM MOD?? :ggani: )

Oh crap... Is this like the stupid roleplayers back in SC? The one's where you just make a little story and you do everything? The one where i made a small bar and everyone went out on a drunk rampage and killed everybody? Make it an RPG instead.

Edit: I misread the last part. I thought he said Role Playing Game. If you have to make that, make everything customizable. Then i can make all these stupid little houses and stuff and blow everyone up cuz the peasants go on a drunk rampage after they robbed the drug factory? That's the best way to go. IF you gotta make it D&D, make sure i can make a bar for dragon's then they can go on a drunken rampage.

I do have the best ideas, don't i? lol

Heh, RP maps are too many and too crappy, go for a nice RPG with a lite DMin element to it. = ). Just my 2 cents since he gets to have his two cents. = ):D

Well the one I'm making is gonna be really awesome. It's gonna let you customize nearly everything. The creator of the game can even put cameras and run cinematics :P I would just throw all the features I'm thinking of into a D&D type RPG but I'm not very good at balance at stuff... hehe Once I make this map I may use the same system and modify it to make a D&D map instead but im gonna go for RP first. Whenever I quit working on a map it's usually because I'm tired of doing all the testing to get good balance. This won't take a whole lot of testing though so I'll probably at least get it down, which is a good start at least
