Hello, I am new to BOR and I was hoping for a recommendation on a mod to start with as the selection is pretty overwhelming, heh. Perhaps there is a template mod, or just any you recommend is greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.
 
Welcome to ChronoCrash @KickandPunch.

Not sure what you mean by get started. Are looking for fun games to play or something to act as a starting point to make one of your own? It's also important to understand that here "mod" is an abbreviation for "module", not "mod" as in a ROM hack. Our games here are fully self contained and even though most of them use sprite assets from earlier productions they are built from the ground up.
 
My personal favorites:





Evidently the community agrees with me since those are currently the top four resources. You also can't really go wrong trying out anything made by @Pierwolf, @Bloodbane, @mersox, @bWWd, or @Mr.Q!.

Naturally that's all a matter of personal taste. There are plenty of projects here I wouldn't give two minutes of my life on that others love. I'd suggest just browsing and seeing if anything catches your eye. I've tried to make sure everything has a preview video or plenty of screenshots to give you a good look.

@KickandPunch,

the recommendations given by Damon are right on the money.
The only reason i recommend NIght Salshers widescreen 21C is because i made a real good of effort in trying to document & make easy to understand the way things work on it , trough lots of notes & sections on the models.txt file.

there are notes on the level.txt files, update notes, video.txt notes, gimp files that can guide you in how a level is Layered, etc , etc.

the reasons i did this so anyone can hopefully hit the ground running & add their own levels, music or level variants for any character anyone wants to add, & because i have memory issues when it comes to programming stuff, i learn something & i forget real quick & constantly a have to remind myself on how i did something...
