RPG

Role Playing Gaming (commonly abbreviated in the community as RPG or R&P&G) is a popular map style in the game TrackMania Nations Forever. Most maps built in this style follow a peculiar sequence of events in which each event affects the next one through the principle of cause-and-effect. The majority of RPG builders have managed to obtain a degree in storywriting as their life went on.

History
As TrackMania players grew older, they started to lose interest in the arguably boring and unstructured LoL maps. As Hylis (CEO of Nadeo) once said: "i sick of map builds trick. need storys" [sic]. Those words of Hylis are also rumoured to be the reason for the eventual QuestMania developments. Many a player had shared a similar sentiment, and thus the era of RPG maps had started. One of the more prominent early RPG builders was MarcusTM2004, whose contributions include "RPG Beginer 2", "RPG Beginer 1" and his most successful map to date - "RPG Beginer 4".

The RPG style is still very popular amongst the TrackMania community, albeit many newer RPG maps lack what once made them famous - an elaborate plot.
