What
Level Master is a mod for Doom and Doom2 where one player chosen at random becomes the dreaded "Level Master". The Level Master's goal is the quickly hide the Exit Rune away from the players who remain still. When the exit is placed, the players are made active and the Level Master gains his full monster summoning powers. The goal of the Level Master is to protect his Exit Rune by summoning monsters anywhere in the map. The other players must fight they way through the hordes of monsters (including the already spawned ones) to find the exit rune before they are killed by the endless amount of monsters the Level Master can throw at them.
Techie
At the start of a regular survival game (no lives and large maps recommended) a Level Master is chosen. Other players freeze while he gets 30 seconds to run off and put the Exit Rune down (obtains all keys at this point). If he runs out of time the Exit Rune spawns wherever he's currently standing. Once the exit is spawned the Level Master starts regenerating power to summon monsters, and the players are allowed to move. The Level Master can only summon monsters when he has enough power to spawn them. He regains power every second (-1 tic per extra player) and loses the cost of the power when he spawns a monster, so the longer you wait the stronger monsters you can spawn. The Level Master cannot spawn monsters if he doesn't have enough power, if there's not enough room OR if players are in visual range of the Level Master. Players cannot see, harm or spectate the level master to see what he's up to. Their goal is to find the Exit Rune placed by the Level Master. When it is found the Level Master dies and the next level starts up and a new level master is picked. If the players die and the Level Master wins the map is simply reset with a new Level Master, so there's really no competitive play here and it's purely for fun.
