Gameplay mods that work with Zandronum?

Looking for recommendations here. Normally I use gzdoom and recently got Zandronum to potentially play with people I know. On gzdoom I've found mods like Project Brutality and Pandemonia, or Trailblazer + ColourfulHell, to be really enjoyable. Would those two work for Zandronum? If they don't, any gameplay mods that would be similar?

I'll give you some of the ones I made/had participation on:

Varied Doom is an universal randomizer mod with various fun features to play with, and it works with all mods listed here (And so many more!). It's super fun to play through with friends for extra challenge and mixing up some of the older mapsets and IWADs.

PB:Redux is a mod of Project Brutality 2.03 to introduce various features and weaponry from BDv21 and PB 3.0 in a way that runs in Zandronum and is optimized for online play too, and there's even Deathmatch support this time and also improved co-op support. I'm not that much into Brutal Doom and it's sub-mods, but I'll admit that I do sometimes play this one because it's really fun!

And it's associated low graphics patch if you have trouble running that alone: https://www.mediafire.com/file/2m6irugo ... h.pk3/file

BDLite: Zandronum Edition is simply a port of BDLite to Zandronum, nothing too special. BDLite is a simplified and streamlined Brutal Doom, more or less, it might be worth giving it a shot.

DUBG could be kinda considered a more "diet" mod compared to Brutal Doom and it's sub-mods but not the same way BDLite is, as there's still new guns, reloading and Doom 2016-style glory kills (glory kills against players in DM work too!), but it's not as exaggerated as in Brutal Doom. Works with all gamemodes Zandronum comes with, and is compatible with Skulltag Content. It's also a tiny mod compared to the rest of the ones listed, only 6MB as opposed to PB:Redux's 170MB.
