Rabbit's All-comers Mapping Project (commonly known as RAMP) was a mapping event held in June and July 2021 by David Newton (DavidN) aimed at encouraging newcomers to try mapping for Doom, much like the Doom Upstart Mapping Project which inspired this project. Mappers of all skill levels and experience were welcome to participate and were allowed to map in any map format, with the entire project being tied together using GZDoom and maps being loaded from a hub level. Mappers submitted their maps to a site created specifically for the project by DavidN, which included a new tool to automatically compile new maps into the project as they were uploaded to the site.
The project had an unexpectedly large turnout with two-hundred maps being submitted to the project. Despite the large turnout, DavidN playtested every submission and gave every author feedback on their map on his YouTube channel. A thread announcing the project was created on the Doomworld forums on May 20th, 2021, with the project being released on August 15th. It received an honorable mention at the 2021 Cacowards.
A making-of feature of the project that goes into intricate detail about various aspects of the project, including the RAMPART build system, was released on July 15, 2022.
