first there was nickel's, then there was zix's

they were some of the servers i actually played lots on - each round gave you several random guns, and then sent you to somehow kill everyone else. it was chaotic, it was a battle of wits and skill, and it was glorious and home to lots of moments of badassery, esp. when jeeps were involved.

no but seriously stuff was fun. they were a solution to the "getting excited to do something then instantly not caring" thing thanks to that specific trait. wish there was one rn

all you need is some weapons, a map, and the randomized player datablock

I didn't like them because they were lazy and all used the same old crappy map.

We might put the randomizer dm back up soon using an awesome map that sylvanor is building.

it isn't

especially if you want to keep the game somewhat balanced while being semi-random and different every round

"some weapons" is a massive understatement.

not to mention people also need a variety of scripts exclusive to zix's server in order to actually run a game, not to mention balancing. you don't know what you're talking about.

Do you mean the Underground Lab? Might be too big for a fast paced DM.

You can always block off some areas if the map is too large.
