Hello! Well, I'll cut to the chase I guess...
Currently I'm making a Roleplayers map. *** For all non-roleplayers, please turn back now *** I'd just like to know what you've always wanted to see in an SC Roleplaying map, but no one has gotten around to fulfilling it.

I never really tried playing roleplaying maps. Im also kinda stupid, can anyone tell me what a roleplaying map is?

Roleplaying maps are games where you are given absolute control over the map, basically what you do is make up a plot and characters of your own. You interact with the other players in the game and develope the plot; merging multiple plots sometimes. Sometimes you'll find yourself knowingly progressing... yet at other times in a desperate improvization.

I haven't liked RP since when i wa splaying once, one of the guys started to mass attack me with ships and i was like "hey what the hell you all said no mass!" and the guy said "well i am making the plot too so im adding that i destroy all your base. So i suggest to play RP's with friends only.

I know im not doing what surtur said "turn back" but here is an oppertunity to repeate my favorate quote.
Loser: Here is my quote in responce to basicly the same question.
Great question. . .
-Well first you spend about 30 minutes to a hour memorizing where all the beacons are and what they do.
-Then you make a town or something until some one pisses you off.
-When they piss you off say something like"I Smite Thee with thy Unholy Marine, Named Alderan" Note: If the RP features sounds it would be good to use one now.
-Then your opponent will reply "You can'st Smite MEE, I Smite Thee Instead with thy Catastrophic Mass of Broodlings from Eanore, They return to fufill there revenge from long ago."
-Then you say "*&%& you cheater, &^%$ ^%%( ^%&( &^%&*"
-Lastly you quit and join another RP to waist several more hours doing absolutly nothing, playing a map that takes no skill to make with more idiot 15 year old children Smiteing Yee all over again.
As for your non sarcastic answer, it is a map where story tellers get together and talk. Uhh kinda like my sarcastic answer. They can make characters and crap and do stuff with them.
Edit: Oh Surtur already replied, sorry don't get mad at me.

Truly, Bolt; I half-agree with your quote... Public RPs are trash, no doubt, but Roleplaying is a great experience in private games with serious contenders.

Um... Starforge Terrain.
As in, not squared off, but special things such as a dock, a mountain(and I mean big, like, a quarter of the entire map minus the spawn/effects area).
Also...
ORIGINAL NAMES. THAT MAKE SENSE.
I.E. instead of naming a unit that has back-bent legs and a pair of wrist-blades "Swordsman" or "Knight", name it something like "Dragonoid", because it's a lot easier to imagine a Dragonoid to be looking like futuristic armor and a pair of magical wrist blades... but not a broad-sword-wielding knight in primitive armor....
Also, for example, instead of naming half the zerg units "This kind of Dragon", give them names that are more rare, like Hydra, Abysmall Entity, etc.(and don't make Marine Longbow, Crossbow, or Elven Archer)
A Zergling that makes a good hero. I hate how everyone seems to think that the Zergling doesn't deserve to be a hero unit.
More realistic and low-numbered stats, like instead of a "Baby Dragon" have 50000000 HP, and 20 damage, but more like Marine having 10 HP and 5 damage, while the Dark Templar does 10 damage, and things like that. And without uberly powerful heroes.
Lol, long enough list, eh?

Personally...When i First played an RP..they banned me...lol...it was funny..I didn't know wtf they were talking about and i didn't know what i was doing...So i massed...everyone leaves...next game i mass...I get banned....Then...I actually played a RP map...it was quite fun...Then at the end some dude was like I'm bored and made his units invincable and massed us all...So it sucked....Public RP's Suck monkey Crap...
As for the Bad side...You waste countless Hours doing nothing...Just making a town...And having it destroyed then rebuilt again..or being like 1 unit who kills everything else...Then theres the Selection...there are like hundred of Beacons...and each one consisting of 1 location....Spawn unit at move location Science Vessel or Etc...Its like a whole wad of Beacons witha unit to each beacon...Thats like 200+ units already :\
Then theres the n00bies in the games....Meh skip that part n00bies behold the power in Battle.net UMS...
The choice...there is so much stuff in the map...some RP maps have so much crap some beacons you don't even know what they do =/ And then...since there is like alot of units for Selection....the things that say what the Beacons do is like a Trap saying
<kill unit mid^toggle invinc
and
<Give to comp^neutral
and
<toggle doors^open>close
Etc...very confusing especially when there are beacons that u don't know what they do :/

well if ur gonna cram units dont if i see this is normaly blue or all in one color:
^^75%
<<50%
vv25%
Im gonna shoot u. Thats really hard to read all smashed to gether if it was a diffrent color per line its easier
and about the awesome name things like "DOnt use swordsman use "OGMGMOOMGOMG FER'SHIZZLE DUD3 WIT T3H SHARP TING" or Dragonoid
because u want it to look realistic....
Thats stupid. It's named SwordsMan and KNight so there are many options not just one story
but some things have to be distant
DOnt make everything in Terran:
Archer
Cooler Archer
Hero Archer
Guard Archer
Archer Close Range
Girl Archer
Thats riduclous
or
Zerg:
Baby Dragon
Prine Dragon
Imp Dragon
Adult Dragon
Fire Dragon
Acid Dragon
Fer'Shizzle! Dragon
King Dragon
Queen Dragon
13 yr old Dragon
18 yr old Dragon
and of course protoss
Swordsman
Skilled Swordsman
Dark Swordsman
DarkER Swordsman
DarkEST Swordsman
Swordsman with a bow
You have to make a alot of vareity but still make sense i wouldnt want to see a ling called: Elf Longbowman
Cause that doesnt make sense [/spamlist]

Half these posts i couldn't understand them, i think we should run a grammer lesson in the Off-Topic, anyhow...
Most of the RP's i've ever seen are all similar, in that every unit if available in one form or another, as well as the common upgrades, ability to make buildings and such. Then they have the terrain, not forgetting some sound when you make a unit from your spawner, and thats about it.
Make yours special in one form or another, or not, and just make it really perfect for RP'ing.
Maybe have the Starforge Dock's, bridges and such, they are great pieces, and work well. Have a world created for people to join in, so that their are already some towns, owned by either Player 12 or a set Computer, and you can interact with them, with your single "Hero" who moves with your spawner. I think reducing the use of air would be useful if you wanted to use Docks, making it more in the past. Have it so that battles can be fought, and such.
Also i would have some "beacons" that choose the number of units made each "two seconds" at the beacons so that for larger battles you can get it together fast. Maybe also have a "controller" player who decides certain things at the beginning, like maximum army size, building size, upgrades allowed, all done through triggers, therefore making the rules kept.
