I was thinking of making a rpg with one player, saves a lot of work, amirite?
And opens the door to awesome EUDs like mouse position and key press detection.
That sounds stupid, I don't need gimmicks to make my map good. I was thinking about making the map awesome based purely on a story driven narrative, full of betrayal and heroism I don't want to use EUDs and key press detection. String limit is something to be wary of. I found I had to butcher my storyline pretty badly in order to not go over the limit.
You should really prioritize gameplay over storyline imo. One of my clan members/testers summed it up quite well actually. "If we want to read a book, we'll friggin read a book. We are here to play games!"

Um...why exactly are you posting that here? o.o; And yes I believe there are BW cdkeys =3
None.
Along with minerals, there's been a Starcraft key added to a pot. And no, there is no Brood War key. It's just the original Starcraft that comes with a key. That's what lil-inferno meant when he posted it in the OP; he just wrote it wrong. ;o

Yeah but it speaks volumes about your creativity and skill if you can evoke emotion through such a simple medium such as a Starcraft I map. Anyone can make a fun map, but not everyone can make an emotional story. Keep in mind that it's still an RPG, but it'll be heavy on emotion and drama. http://www.staredit.net/topic/11881/Having an inventory system that works on key press would be better than having to hotkey a unit or units located in a corner of the map. My comment was saying that you could improve gameplay if needed by implementing these single-player triggers if you're working on a single-player map. I don't know if you took what I said the wrong way or if you took offense for some reason (such as not knowing how to use EUDs), but you shouldn't shun possibility.

I thought there was no way to bypass the string limit save modding?
You can bypass the string # limit (1024), you can't bypass the string byte limit.
Saves just fine.
None.
I am happy to announce, I will return to the good ole map editor to enter this contest. And finally complete my Magnum Opus RPG. I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream.
A map based on the short story by Harlan Ellison, of a super computer named AM that has obliterated the human race and takes the last 5 humans on earth and tortures them for 109 years. The humans don't know why AM hates them so much, but they're about to find out, AM has constructed a game for each of the 5 characters for them to play where they must confront their personal demons and their fatal flaws.
It will be an epic tale full of disturbing and mature themes I'm sure you'll like it

Damn straight. In fact I think the winner of last years Last Stand RPG Contest was Tenebrous which wasn't even complete. There were other pearls as well such as Catalycsm, Wonder, Lost Souls Ultimo, Lost Souls Cecil. All highly cool RPGs, all incomplete!
My plans are for a map with 3 story lines tied around each other yet still individual from the others, most of the map is done, just gotta get triggers done :S.
None.
