I was going to write up a larger post shilling it when I was done with it, but I will do a smaller post now.

Ter_Shibboleth: Drake Redux is one of the most fun mods I've ever played in video games, not just Quake. It utilizes the much lesser known Quake mod Drake. T_S was originally released in 2017 in five maps, but it later got a sequel of three Drake focused maps, and then the author went and remade the first 5 to match, hence Redux. Drake has some great projects out there like Arcanum, Something_Wicked, Unforgiven, and some smaller ones, but it never had the Arcane Dimensions treatment of a mega mappack from various members of the community, hence its obscurity. Something_Wicked comes close, and I'll shill for that some other time, but T_S is all the more impressive because it's by one guy, but this one mother fucker really pulled off some crazy shit. The maps are enormous, so much so that you need to increase the -heapsize of your sourceport to get them running smoothly, but they're not enormous to the point of annoyance because just about every bit of space you see is used in some way. The abundance of new enemies, new powerups, new weapons (including changing the functions of default ones) just elevates this so high for me. Is it any good? Hell fucking yeah. I would not try to run it on a toaster, unfortunately.

Side note, the maps are designed in such a way that you can and definitely should shotgun start them, but be wary of shotgun starting nightmare. That shit's crazy and fun.
