Onto the middle part of Plutorium which increases the typical per-map monster counts significantly and might have other tricks up its sleeve to keep us... entertained for longer. Last week's first rota took us barely over an hour even with a 1,300-monster map at the end so let's see how well we're going to handle whatever the wad throws our way on this week's session!

The Plutonia wads keep coming, naturally giving us no choice but to keep playing them. Plutorium aka PLVTORIVM takes the tried and true Plutonia formula and ramps it up with slightly longer maps, quite challenging gameplay and even a trio of 1,000+ monster maps. Oh, and in case you missed archviles during the last two Doom 1 sessions, you're guaranteed to get your fill this time!

Emerging from the shadows of other iwads, we continue our appreciation of this outstanding Doom 1 mapset today. To hopefully prolong our... appreciation of the wad, the second half starts with the appropriately named episode Suffering Overdue, foreshadowing a bit more resistance and a slower pace compared to the last week's rampage through the first 2 episodes!

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!

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!
