sGravelands

sGravelands is a term that emerged within online gaming communities, specifically associated with the game "Garry's Mod." It refers to a particular type of roleplaying server that simulates a post-apocalyptic or zombie-infested environment, often drawing inspiration from franchises like "The Walking Dead" or the "DayZ" mod for Arma 2. On these servers, players are typically tasked with survival, scavenging for resources such as food, water, and weapons, and defending themselves against both zombie AI and other hostile players. The "s" prefix is often used in online gaming to denote a "server" or a specific iteration of a game mode or concept.

The gameplay in sGravelands often emphasizes realism and permadeath. Players might need to manage hunger, thirst, and injuries, and their characters can be permanently killed, requiring them to start anew. This creates a high-stakes environment where cooperation and strategic decision-making are crucial for survival. Factions or survivor groups may form, leading to complex social dynamics, territorial disputes, and emergent storytelling. The specific rules and mechanics of sGravelands servers can vary significantly, with some focusing more on combat and PvP, while others prioritize exploration and survival challenges. The term itself is not an official designation within Garry's Mod but rather a community-driven label.
