RandomEncounters

Random Encounters mod for V Rising

See V Rising Database for detailed information about V Rising items, NPCs and more.

This server side mod spawns a random NPC near a random online player at random intervals, and the player wins a random item reward if the NPC is killed within the given time limit.

It can be configured using the configuration files which are created on first run.
