Hello, tg players and other forum-goers! Did you know that March into Mapness has started? Did you know further that means you can submit a mapping pr (fixes, features, changes, whatever) and the first one you submit will get you an ANTAG TOKEN? Until april, we're having a drive to recruit people who have never contributed more into the world of mapping, presenting resources guides, and even a channel just for supporting new mappers to make it as easy as possible to become a...

The concept behind this forum (and discord channel) is to bring together mappers, admins and players with great ideas or RP to create bigger production-value events. Admins in real-time can do quite a lot in the middle of a round, even more with some pre-round build mode prep, but there are limits, and we can push those limits with some help from the community.
Essentially, these are living breathing away missions admins can run with real NPCs played by real players. When...
Players can now present their event ideas in the Events Workshop, and much like with TC trades it will be up to the Admin Trainers to decide which ones have merit.
The Admin Trainer will then forum PM the player if interested, the idea can be discussed in greater detail, and a date may be set for the event.
We're sure alot of y'all have great ideas for events, and we'd love to see what you can do. Post em

I think this was an example given by sticky during one of his headmin runs, basically its just a round where its made clear that rules 2 & 3 are not in effect.
I think a round where everyone piles into a voice channel to accuse each other of being valid while ooc fills the chat window would be pretty funny.
Ideally done during with forced nukeops or revs or something just so dynamic doesn't roll heretic 5 times and nothing else.
A entire round of basketball but everyone has no legs and must use wheelchair, also turn of shoving your allowed to make people get out the their chair but no shoving.
This would make basketball really fun, because who doesnt like being bound by a wheelchair?
CCOM Command Announcement
Attention all Space Station 13 crew:
Several UFOs have been detected in the orbit of Lavaland, with the intent of taking the system for themselves.
Space Station 13 is in your hands, do not let us down.
What is this?
This is an extremely elaborate event I've been wanting to run for a couple months now.
Essentially, think of it as a variation of nuclear operatives, in which waves of enemies try to complete objectives while facing an increasingly well-armed crew.
This is not a scheduled event, I might need to revise it more to make sure it’s more interesting. Also the event seems near impossible unless I experiment with some things first.
-
The year is 2563.
Happy new year. The station has just survived another year drifting out in space. While the station is researching wonders of technology and research, Central Command is still living the dream of yesterday. Despite rumors of advanced technology being held at Central Command, this is far from the truth. CC...
Central Command Intern Announcement
Aaaaaaagh the ghooooooost.... The GHOOOST! Call the ghostbuster..... THE GHOST IS STEALING!! MY MONEY!!
HE PUNCHED ME IN THE FACE AND NOW HE RUN OFF WITH MY MONEY!! HEY GHOST COME BACK THATS MY MONEY!!
Picture this, 10 greytiders with blink, jaunt and nodrop ghost costumes sent to the station to cause as many shenanigans as possible.
And on top of that, a full ghostbuster squad all armed with medibeams and instructed to cross the streams on them.
ok so i was thinking.. what if the station had a space chef come by and make food for bit then leave? this would be special cuisine, usually stuff you wouldn't find on the station.
so basically a space food truck, the chef would have a assistant, or driver if you may say so. It would house a small crew including a enginering, and mercs ( security) hired by the ship owner. the ship would be stocked with basic food ingredients and exotic food ingredients and all the other stuff, however there are the...
What if you did an event where instead of everyone becoming highlander, half of the server population were turned into ghosts and the other half kept as their jobs(maybe, may be better to set them as 1 job or give everyone assistant gear and AA), every alive person gets a holoparasite kit with the note and the injector so they can read up on what the paras can do and all, objective could be the same as highlander, aka steal nukedisk and escape alive, the big...
Central Command Announcement
Attention all station crew and staff of Space Station 13, it may have come to your attention that our corporate security fleet has recently cornered the infamous Space Wizard Lord Wizardus the Wizard after a month-long chase through the Spinward Sector. However, as we are unwilling to risk our assets in a direct confrontation with the Federation, we have herded their spacebound base into a stable warp point to be dealt with by one of our constituents, and it appears that the...
Okay, so, you know those Centcom Officials that comes onto the station most of the time to do a “general” check on the station and then leave? Well, that’s a solo campaign. Wouldn’t we make more profit if we made a separate Co-Op campaign for all the casual players? Well, now you can play with your friend on the couch because you are both bored as hell and have no idea what to do!
Jokes aside, here’s the pitch; standard Centcom Inspection, but instead of there being ONE person, there’s two. One is red,...
This event may seem elaborate, but it would be really easy to pull off with just one player and one admin. Let me know if you'd like to make plans to run it and I'll draft a full script.
The Premise
Who doesn't love Italian opera? Pagliacci is a famous Italian opera that tells the story of a troupe of traveling performers in the Italian countryside. Canio, who plays the clown Pagliacci, is deeply in love with his wife Nedda, who plays the character of Columbina. Nedda, however, is having an affair with...
That's right! I remembered this subform exists! This is in the idea phase, of course. This is the events Workshop after all.
The first half of the event is a collaboration of anyone who knows how to use SDMM to map a bunch of tiny stations which each serve a specific purpose. These could be embedded in asteroids or free floating in space. 1 station uploaded per person, If the map feels empty even with enough stations to accommodate all jobs this would change. Someone would then download submitted DMM...
Need this info for an event I'm considering right now. Basically, on a highpop round, I want 9 roundstart AIs with each having one of the DnD alignments, and then I'll delete the upload consoles/boards so the crew can't do anything about it. I think it would be funny to watch the AIs debate amongst themselves on what to do and keep conflicting with each other. Just try not to give me lawsets that will end in plasmafloods immediately. I've placed several lawsets in the right spots but I need help with the...
Democracy keeps failing on /tg/. It is time we tried something new.
Instead of leaving the choice of who is going to be headmin in the hands of (mostly dumb) people, let their own will and might decide. The winner is the last one standing (yes, there can only be ONE).
:unknownman: Every headmin candidate will spawn naked on a random location in maintenance with only an assistant ID card on them. They must use their cunning, robustness and knowledge of the game to get themselves the best gear and outlast...
The concept of the event is simple: It's time for a surprise inspection of the station's nuclear authentication disk, and Centcom has sent a team of 3 or 4 officers to carry out the inspection. They arrive on station, announce their presence, and (professionally and politely) try to get the disk from the captain, for inspection. If they do get a hold of the disk, they pass it around for an inspection, then say that the contacts are a bit scuffed, and that the disk should probably be cleaned. Fortunately,...
Alright so somebody on the discord, (thanks Dawsby) told me about this thread, and this is the first place I've seen that it might actually make sense to pitch it.
The circus comes to town
Basically a space tent with thrusters (or the closest you can get, the ship the ERTs use or a spruced up whiteship may have to do) with a ridiculous number of clowns which ghosts can take control of like, a few of em (The rest are simple clown mobs). They have some kind of mission, now it's not a HARM mission, it's...
Not really sure how these event ideas are supposed to be so I'll just say it:
You've probably come across this website, the idea here is to make a discord event, where people would submit their SS13 character name and photo and then be placed here, the winner can get some sort of prize, a special role or no prize at all.
If you don't know this website, it's basically a hunger games simulator where you can have custom characters.
A new channel in discord can be created for people to talk about the...
On a shift much like any other, the Chaplain hears a powerful yet distant voice while meditating deeply. As it approaches their consciousness, it enters as a light whisper before drowning in a cacophonous ocean of noise. What little they could make out is as follows:
Unidentified blue-space signatures have cropped up around the station. The crew is advised to investigate.
A freak portal storm has brought a group of medieval peasants, lords, knights, mercenaries, or even royalty onto the station. Depending on their goal and numbers, the crew may be able to safely ignore them or will be forced to take up arms.
Here are some basic events involving this 'Medieval Folk' idea.
Crusade
A medium-sized group of Crusaders have arrived with the station, with the sole...
Right now we're at round #93000, so only 7000 more to go. At our current rate of averaging ~50 rounds per day across all three servers, we'll hit our 100000th round in about 140 days. Apparently this will be ~January 12th, 2019.
I think it would be cool if we had a year-in-review style awards show. This would give players an opportunity to do one of their most favorite things: brag about good rounds that they had.
My original idea for this is to just have a Best Mime and Clown of the Year award. We could do something similar to headmin elections where people announce their interest and maybe answer some questions IC and also provide stories and Round ID's for things that they feel make them worthy of being Best ____ of 2019...
Expected event date: Saturday, October 12th, 2019 at 4PM EST (9PM GMT+1, 1PM PST)
Expected location: Event Hall Server

i dont know if this is the place for this but it would be cool if we could list TC trade ideas that are more creative than just gib revenant
here are some that i hand out now and then
also understand that these arent guaranteed but they're still cooler than asking for FUCKING REVENANT FOR THE THOUSANDTH TIME
Rocky's Gloves
I give you nodrop boxing gloves to wear and lower your click cooldown. I make sure you understand not to abuse the click cooldown to murder people instantly with melee weapons: The...
I completely forgot about this until just recently when I found my rules image on my computer (and also an old forum thread I made on it) ! I used to run it quite a lot before we had 1000 ghost roles that took all the dead people away from fun events.
The rules image:
- You start by building a 3x3 room in a small, remote location on lavaland. (Usually I would carve out a lava river around the general area, making a moderately sized island.) Make sure it has a bed, flooring, and some flashlights.
- I also...
I keep coming up with weirdo admin gamemodes that are either disastrous or fun but I never remember them so I'm gonna start writing them down here. I'll add more as I remember or think up more.
The fun thing about these is because they're rare and custom and basically unknown, you have to make actual new decisions instead of just following a rote procedure. Also they're all awful and unfun.
Syndicate Base
A syndicate asteroid appears in orbit around the station, with several agents aboard. Using the...
Please move this to a better board if this is the wrong one. Just post SDQL queries that cause fun.
SDQL is a powerful yet inefficient and unintuitive/sloppy (read horrible) language for complex behavior. It should probably have a better substitute.
I spent too much time cooking up a fire-and-forget cinematic round ender (literally it ends the round for you) that drops a tesla missile at your current location in about a minute after a short series of announcements.
This event is just another variation on people coming to the station to trade.
Lore is that they are hired by NT to provide basic care, but people must provide their own co-pay.
Set up is typically spawning the ancient storage lab somewhere connected to the station. I've done it in southern maint on box and old attached to the old library on delta. The right side of the ruin has some custom tiles that make for a nice docking station. A clockwork sleeper is nice to do surgeries in and a few spots are...
This actually has potential to be a gamemode imo, but I'm putting it under events for now since I want to run a more refined version of this in the future.
Original:
I made a person in a Syndicate loadout, except with an anyone agent ID, sniper rifle kit, penetrator/regular magazines, and thermals. I gave him the objective to kill someone and a custom antag name called Bounty Hunter . I made his target a Bounty with an objective to stay alive.
I then added more instructions in his notes, basically...
Revs, but if they win, the station wins independence from centcomm and traders/diplomats from syndicate, wizfed, pirates, etc join the round. Maybe throw in some Centcomm agents to try and sabotage things.
The crew has received special recognition from Central Command for their invaluable contributions to research and their exemplary dedication to Nanotrasen's Corporate Charter. As such, CentComm has seen fit to reward the crew with a *luxurious, **tropical getaway and allotted them ***vacation time with which to enjoy it. The crew will receive periodical holidays during which the gateway is opened and the crew is allowed to freely pass to and from the vacation spot. Congratulations, crew-members! ****Relax...
Hey, so I've been working on this Metro-SS13 total conversion for a while now and I don't think I'm gonna be able to finish it in my two-month time limit. I can scale down the map a lot and bring it over to TG for an event. I'm thinking the synopsis is that the crew gets teleported through a distress signal-portal to a mutant-ravaged subway station on the Independent planet Liberion IV that's fallen victim to an orbital nuking from totally NOT Nanotrasen. The exit portal subsequently gets destroyed in an...
I ran this as a mini-event for dead players last night. The winner got a Nabskicoin. I'm writing this so I can reference it with full rules if it is run again.
Rules for musical chairs.
1. The player lacking a chair object of the day after the music stops is the loser. Losers are elimated from the round in whatever manner amuses me.
2. Chairs are claimed by buckling yourself to it, or if other things are used lockers closing yourself in the object.
Admins are finite. If we allow players to grow without controlling their numbers, we will soon play in chaos and poverty.
I propose we run an event in which half the players in the database are banned at random. No nepotism, no favors, no choosing. True, just, fair culling of half the playerbase will alleviate the problems high pop brings and ensure our admin team can deal with the player influx in a more controlled manner. This will allow better, more thankful players to flourish and grow in our server,...
This event involves basically tuning the event subsystem to fire much more often, where it will spam various events (depending on round length) and slowly grief the station for you. If you've always wanted to spam events but not get deadminned for it, THIS EVENT IS FOR YOU.
It worked great for today, being Friday the 13th but I don't limit this to any particular time frame, it usually works better with more players as it basically grief lowpop stations to death and there aren't...
This has obviously been attempted before but this time it's different. I'm going to edit one of the maps to have the loot preset and everyone will spawn with the same gear to make it fair. (The ID's will be all access).
All stun weapons will be removed because stuns wouldn't be well fitted to the battle royale theme. There probably won't be any energy weapons either, just ballistics. Anyway here's the list of weapons I want to include. Not sure on what the rareness should be since some will be more...
A message arrives at the station: a reviewer for hotels and resorts is coming to write an article about the station. A positive review could mean visitors and big money for the station, a negative review though...
Give the station ample warning that a reviewer is going to arrive and write an article about the station. They will be looking to try the food, drink, sleeping facilities, as well as any recreational activities the station can provide. Needless to say, they must also remain safe during their...
But there's a bear controlled by a player, who is neither hero nor villian. Attempting to unmask the bear, Mystery Inc is brought aboard for some craaaayzeee hijinks.
War ops. But the war ops are clowns! And there's more of them!
To help counteract this threat, The mime planet of Silentus is sending in Mime-Mandos to assist the crew (basically emergancy responders or crew-friendly deathsquaddies)
Like the title suggests. Use the old clown/mime DMZ map put let the players sign up to fight on one side or the other. Baguette crossbows and pie cannons for everyone.
The round immediately following is another meme round, where whichever side won is in charge, with all heads of staff being mimes or clowns. Extra slots open up for the other job and some crewman gain the objective Help at least one survive . Clown nazis kick the door to botany in with their squeaky shoes while the botanists hide a mime in...
jcll did this
Basically:
Remove all power from the station pre-roundstart
Post-roundstart, spawn a romerol zombie or two
If you're feeling nice, give the crew more guns in the armoury or something
VR is terribly underused, and it has the capability to a lot of things.
Advantages:
1. No need to worry about loot being brought back.
2. No need to worry about people dying.
3. Doesn't derail maps as much.
4. Compatible to load your own maps/arena as a custom away mission, just don't put a gateway in your map.
To set up VR you:
1. Spawn a landmark.
2. Spawn the sleepers.
You can make premade maps with landmarks and load them as away missions like the Murderdome:
An all-out war against the Syndicate on neutral ground; after a recruitment drive arrives to round up able-bodied crew, they are put through boot camp, thrust into deathsquads and sent out to annihilate the syndicate forces and detonate their base of operations.
This event is set on a barren asteroid or planet surface. Scattered across the surface are small outposts with syndicate mob spawners, each led by a PC Syndicate Commander. NT Crew who volunteer to join the recruitment shuttle will be whisked to...
The day admins are unleashed and nothing can be stopped. The worst day of the year for everyone.
The current list:
No-Legs Round 10% of people are named ___ the Traitor . You have antag only if you have this suffix. Change minds is pressed randomly throughout the round Polymorph Extravaganza The Grand Egg-Hunt Obligatory Meteors (But the meteors have feelings too) Faster Than Light: Build a shuttle, engage in hyperspace combat Untitled Madness Everyone is the...
This is an event that I've run several times. Last time people got mad at me because I made an actual death squad after telling them that's what would happen when a prisoner dies.
It goes in one of two ways. One requires a mapped ship and the other doesn't.
1. Have a mapped ship with dead guards and live prisoners. No live guards because that makes it boring for the prisoners. The ship consists of cells, a small medical area, a small engine room, and an armory. Obviously a cockpit and other small stuff....
