It's been 2 years since we last had a Doom 1 mapset and while they tend to get less attention from both map authors and TNS goers, Shadows is a very well designed megawad that doesn't stray into mazey layouts and abundant crushers that you often encounter in Doom 1 pwads. So if you can bear a couple of weeks without your trusty supershotgun and the warm feeling of an archvile behind your back, this collection of 36 maps should prove to be worth your time!

TNS #769 - Ashes of Annihilation

Coming in with a dramatic name, this 20-map megawad features compact maps with the average monster count being only about 50. Far from a setback, we will just go with pistol starts to avoid going too fast and once again get plentiful opportunity to make use of the variety of game modes that make TNS what it is!

Ark is an episode that appeared out of nowhere as the first post of a long-time Doomworld lurker. The wad features an intentional variety between the maps and some creative ideas, like shootable walls revealing monsters as a major game mechanic. It's not often someone's very first Doomworld post spawns a TNS session so if nothing else, come appreciate this unicorn of a mapset!

With only mildly increased monster counts and overall difficulty, the second half of Biodiverse is just as good for the last week's portion was for zipping right through it and exploring all the various wild modes that we have at our disposal. If you come to the session after the first 2 hours be ready for anything and everything except for things to look normal!

It doesn't seem like new wad releases can go for long without a Plutonia-inspired wad popping up and whenever that happens, a quality collection of maps is pretty much guaranteed. This time with less focus on Plutonia-like gameplay (you will see archviles in only one of the first 7 maps) and more on loose inspiration from the corresponding map itself or just its name but in either case, certainly delivering on the high expectations!
