Hello ZDaemon Sessions Survival People,

The Cyberdemons are throwing another party... and you're invited!
Cyber Party Deluxe returns for Part 4 with 32 (short-ish) DOOM II
slaughter maps packed with (cyber)demons, rockets, plasma and total chaos.
This is a new production of NeedEspresso with SLADE, Obsidian and Doom Builder v2 Level Maker.

We will start with 5 lives, and we can adjust the amount of lives up or down as needed.

Bring some friends and crash the party!

TNS #791 - PUSS The Way Id Did (Part II)

Euro session: 19:00 BST

> Details and comments <

Well that was quick! Last week we tore through the maps so fast we barely got our shoes off. Some of you seemed done before we even got started. Impressive, but is that all you have? 62 maps don't finish themselves and we are nowhere near satisfied.

So this week, we're going longer. We don't want anyone leaving early (we know you can handle more than you think). More maps with tight spots, firm surprises, and things popping out when you least expect it. Some slow and teasing, others fast and rough, a few may leave you gasping.

Come ready and bring your stamina, take your time, pace yourself, and for once, try not to finish so soon. If you do, don't worry...we'll just start another round. AHAHAHAHAHA

USDQC Friday Night Survival #371 - Freudian Slipgate 2

Spaz — Thu, 08 Oct 2026 01:17:52 +0300

Date: Friday October 9th, 2026
Session: 20:00 CDT (02:00 BST / 21:00 EDT)

Details and comments

Didn't get enough Freudian maps last week? Good, because we are continuing the experience with the sequel for this week's FNS! Unlike its predecessor, Freudian Slipgate 2 features a full 32 maps, hopefully giving us a longer lasting session. Maps are visually appealing, some new monster sprites have been added, and there is enough challenge to keep us from blazing through too quickly. All of that and we get a free and much needed therapy session!

Join us this Friday for another fun night of Survival!

Details and comments

This week for FNS, we are stepping through a portal into the #doomtwid realm! For this wad, I'm going to let the description from the authors do the talking.

"You are playing Quake, you walk into the Slipgate only to find out it's Freudian, suddenly, you are in Doom.. #doomtwid realm, you have angered the #doomtwid gods and they throw you into the random maps for invading their privileges on internet."

"Are you agitated enough to survive the Bull#$@$ maps?"

We'll see you this Friday!

TNS #790 - PUSS The Way Id Did (Part I)

CooLiBoP — Thu, 01 Oct 2026 02:52:30 +0300

Date: Thursday 1st October 2026
Euro session: 19:00 BST

> Details and comments <

Another TNS is here, and we're getting our hands on something special: 62 maps all lined up and ready for you. Yes... sixty-two. Don't worry, we'll take it nice and slow. (Or fast... They're speedmaps so it's really up to you.)

This one comes from the PUSS project, led by myolden with a whole crowd of contributors, each spending about six hours on their own little creation. That's a lot of passion packed into every map, and you can feel the effort in each one. Some are soft and welcoming, some are tight and hard to get through, and all of them will leave you a bit out of breath.

Come ready to go deep, stay inside as long as you can, and don't finish too early. We've got a lot of maps to get through, and we want everyone satisfied by the end of the night. Bring your stamina, because you'll need it. AHAHAHAHAHA

Session: 20:00 CDT (02:00 BST / 21:00 EDT)

Details and comments

It's been 5 years since we have run this classic from Team TNT! While this is a wad from the 90's, it does not quite feel too much like it due to the use of Boom features. The wad has underwater areas, wind, conveyers, and instant silent teleporters and should keep our fraggers on their toes!

Join us for another classic fragfest tomorrow night!

In the last TNS with (increasing) consecutive digits until TNS #1234 we'll be finishing up Doomium with more fast-paced maps of varying sizes ahead of us. The theme largely remains dominated by tech bases but you will also be pleased if you're a fan of hexagons (featured in MAP25 and MAP29) or Speed of Doom (its MAP24 likely inspiring the hexagon usage and MAP26 mayyybe having an influence on Doomium's MAP29). If that piqued your interest we hope to see you make a bee-line to the TNS this evening!

After playing its sequel over 2 years ago, we finally set our sights on the original Doomium. Self-described as a collection of "short, explosive, and fun maps", the map length does actually vary and so do the environments, making good use of the OTEX pack. No quibbles with the rest of the description, however, and since we're already veterans of its descendant, there should be no big surprises as we meet the forebear that started it all!

Details and comments

How has it been nearly 4 years since our last run of Eviternity? It is time to make our long-awaited return to it this week! This wad has some of the most beautifully crafted and textured maps conceived! There are some new monsters added to the roster and their placement and counts can give even the most seasoned survival players a challenge. For the difficulty this wad can give us, we will be splitting the run into 2 parts.

Join us this Friday and relive the first half of this modern classic!

Hello ZDaemon Sessions People,
This weekend we will play Double-Domination Mappack for ZDS.

Double Domination Leaderboards looks empty so far, so let's change that!
Join the fun and get your first points.

For those who don't know Double Domination:
In DDOM, their are only two checkpoints (A and B).
A team must control both checkpoints for ten seconds to get a point.
If successful, both checkpoints will reset to neutral for both teams to capture for a new round.
The first team to reach the game limit wins.

Today we're going all the way back to 2022 when this megawad started as a way for Death Bear to "smash through the barricade" of a mapper's block but eventually evolved into a major learning experience and significantly influenced the style of his now quite impressive body of work.

Many of the maps are quite small so we're going to go with pistol starts and have a bit of a smashing through a barricade experience ourselves!

USDQC Friday Night Survival #367 - Curse of Blood

Date: Friday September 11th, 2026
Session: 20:00 CDT (02:00 BST / 21:00 EDT)

Details and comments

For this week's FNS, we will be running through Curse of Blood by Valkiriforce and Waverider! This is not our first rodeo with this wad as we ran it over a year ago. There are 3 episodes, each with different themes. Episode 1 is tech base, episode 2 is medieval/gothic, and episode 3 is obviously hell but with a couple others mixed in. 2 new enemies have been added, 1 of which is the final boss, and 2 existing monsters have been modified as well. The Spider Mastermind being one of those, which now takes more damage from rockets but less from other ammo types.

This was a fun one, so join us this Friday if you missed out the first time!

The second half of the wad brings, unusually, generally shorter maps than what we have seen last week but all of this is part of the faithfulness to the original. There are many more maps ahead that will be quite recognizable if you've ever played Perdition's Gate but if you're not familiar with its MAP30 you will benefit from a strategic tip for the map, which is quite simple: Run!

USDQC Friday Night Survival #366 - Memento Mori 2

Session: 20:00 CDT (02:00 BST / 21:00 EDT)

Details and comments

It has been a couple of years since we have last run the sequel to Memento Mori. While this is a megawad from 96, its design far exceeded many other wads of the era. Plenty of new textures are used and an OST so good, mappers still use tracks from it for other projects! Maps range from medium to large in size and monster counts that aren't outrageous but can still give players a few surprising and challenging encounters.

Join us for another run of a classic this Friday!

Details and comments

This week's WNDM wad is combination of two classic deathmatch wads filled with old school maps! The maps of Styx and Dweller are not large by any means but are not so small to keep players from moving around amongst the chaos. Instead of running the maps in order which would mean the two wads would run back-to-back, we are going to randomize the map order to make things a little more interesting.
