USDQC Wednesday Night Deathmatch #361 - DWANGO 5

Spaz — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 18:11:51 +0300

Date: Wednesday April 15th 2026
Session: 20:00 CDT (02:00 BST / 21:00 EDT)

Details and comments

We are going back to 1995 with the fifth and one of the most known entries of the DWANGO series this week! Before the days of broadband and before the internet was in every home, the DWANGO service was hosted in Houston Texas, where players could dial directly into the servers to frag it out in their favorite games! The DWANGO wads were compilations of maps that were at the time, exclusively hosted on their service. While the service is long gone, we continue to frag it out in these classic wads on modern ports!

To follow up with our continuation of Redundancy 2, we start with MAP16 which introduces another strange and unusual enemy to join the ranks of a dumpster imp emerging from a trash can, a fire-breathing demon firing fireballs from its mouth and a miniature mini-arachnotron. That's also not the last of the unexpected surprises the wad has in store so get ready for the disorder and the disarray and come join the chaos!

ZDS #970 - Easter Special 2026

Krawa — Fri, 03 Apr 2026 21:54:11 +0300

Hello ZDaemon Sessions Party People!
Once a year, the world bathes in springtime peace flowers bloom, eggs are hidden, and bunnies bounce joyfully across the fields…

But not in ZDS.

This time, it’s not just one fluffy fiend. Oh no.
Something went horribly wrong at the Bunny Breeding Facility.

Now they're everywhere.
Cloned. Mutated. Angry.

Dozens of deranged, chocolate-fueled rabbits have broken loose and they're not here to deliver eggs. They're here to deliver mayhem.

We need all hands on deck this Saturday to stop the Hopocalypse.

Suit up. Lock and load. And don’t let the fluff fool you they're vicious, they're fast, and they multiply…

TNS #764 - Redundancy 2 (Part I)

Keyboard_Doomer — Wed, 01 Apr 2026 11:42:24 +0300

Date: Thursday 2nd April 2026
Euro session: 19:00 BST

> Details and comments <

After a 6-year wait of half a dozen years, Redundancy gets its equally redundant sequel, filled full of unnecessarily redundant map names, weapons, items, guns, thing placement, level titles and plenty more. The sequel is quite an upgrade to its predecessor it succeeds, with the addition of custom resources and textures and some creative and unusual monsters to top it all off as a cherry on top!

Note to everyone who didn't have a time change last week: most of Europe did so the session will start an hour earlier than it usually does for you.

This is the 68th entry in the Doomer Board Projects and its theme is a post-apocalyptic wasteland. It is inspired by Mad Max and Borderlands, with the exception is that there are no vehicles to drive here!

Join up this Friday and help us survive another journey through the Wasteland!

TNS #763 - CREMATOMANIA (Part III)

CooLiBoP — Tue, 24 Mar 2026 17:03:24 +0300

Date: Thursday 26th March 2026
Euro session: 19:00 GMT

> Details and comments <

This week we wrap up the megawad with a stretch of maps that really lean into Crematomania’s “why not?” design philosophy. We start with the only map in the entire set that hides a monster‑filled super‑secret, then head straight back into space‑elevator madness as we climb toward Egon’s hidden vault. Expect plasma troopers, moon‑hopping, free‑roaming Archviles, and even a brief non‑combat victory lap.

And once the vault dust settles, the megawad refuses to let us go quietly. Instead of rolling credits, Crematomania punts us into its grab‑bag of bonus material: a “was supposed to be Wild West” experiment that mutated into a sun‑blasted desert base, a completely unrelated side‑project map that wandered in from another dimension, and finally a second finale...because if there’s one thing this wad believes in, it’s that the only proper way to end Doom is with more Doom.

USDQC Friday Night Survival #342 - Japanese Community Project

Session: 20:00 CDT (01:00 GMT / 21:00 EDT)

Details and comments

The 10th anniversary of JPCP is almost here! It has also been 3 years since we last ran it on FNS. We figured now would be a great time to dive back in and give this gem a revisit. This wad as the named suggests, was designed by the small, but dedicated Japanese Doom Community and was a 2016 Cacoward winner. The maps have some great visuals, as well as enough challenge to keep us on our toes! Unlike our first run, we will attempt all 32 this time around!

Join us this Friday and help us survive!

This Thursday, we push deeper into Egon Tusk’s cosmic disaster‑portfolio as Crematomania settles into its mid‑wad stride with bigger maps, stranger ideas, and a mapper who clearly decided that consistency is optional.

We’ll be moving through labs the author barely remembers making, sewers where the monsters somehow navigate better than they should, a data center originally described as a “ball‑crusher,” a Twitter HQ fever dream rebuilt from a prototype, and a vault map the creator openly doesn’t trust. And just when things start to stabilize, we plunge into a volcanic base introduced with the immortal line: “WHAT THE F** EGON?!”* It’s all very normal.

Egon Tusk bought the UAC and Twatter in the same week, and shockingly it went badly. If that caught your attention, then you’ll probably want to check out this week’s installment of Thursday Night Survival.

A vault full of cash? Check.
A difficulty curve that politely says “no”? Absolutely.
Level names pulled straight from Elon Musk’s Twitter feed? Every single one.

Join us as we tour Hell’s newest family resort, packed with theme‑park mapping, fake ceilings, exploding locomotives, space whales, and even a Deep Space Nine runabout. Strap in for Part one (of three) Crematomania: Fortune, Fiends & a Space Odyssey—because if Egon can’t keep his companies, we can at least take his money.

Details and comments

Last week, we started a multi-dimensional journey through the Skullgate! We managed to conquer the first 2 realms, the Techbase and the Corrupted Techbase, before stopping just 1 map short of finishing the third realm, The Ruins. After Map 16, 3 more realms await us, Marble Hell, Fleshy Hell, and the Void (not to be confused with the void outside map boundries). We can expect increased difficulty and a few maps with significantly higher monster counts than what we have already seen.

Join up and help us finish this multi-dimensional journey this Friday!

Coming with a fitting name for this collection of 23 maps that have been dusted off and cleaned up after sitting on the author's hard drive for a while, Cobweb features fairly low-monster count maps with straightforward progressions, ideal for zipping through at a breakneck pace. To slow us down a bit, pistol starts suit the wad quite well and if not enough necks get broken by the few curveballs that'll get thrown our way, there's always the option to use more difficult settings than usual after the first rota!

Details and comments

This week, we are diving into another community project that is also a spiritual successor to Hellevator! Which if you have not played, is similar to Going Down. Instead of returning to an elevator in each map like the previous 2 mentioned wads, this wad has us searching for the blue skull, which will allow us to activate the pictured interdimensional Skullgate to proceed on to the next map. The wad is split into 6 chapters across its 32 maps, each with a different theme.

Join us for the first half of this interdimensional voyage this Friday!
