Interception II has been a blast.

DBP13: Evil Egypt (https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/114095-dbp23-evil-egypt/)

Return to Hadron E3 by cannonball (https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/114906-return-to-hadron-episode-3-rc2/)

Still needs some fine-tuning (which the devs are doing before making it a standalone free game on Steam), but Shrine 2 really impressed me. Way moreso than the original.

@Roebloz's Rom Hack for the 32X and PC called Cacosweeper has to get into the cacowards. I mean, Caco is in the name! It was a great way to expand upon 2 of the greatest PC games ever! definitely has to be mentioned!

One more vote for Abandon.

And also DBP25.

Cyrgoth's Revenge, if it's not too late since there was an update this year, and even though it's not specifically for Doom.

[annoyingduck]

+1 for Evil Egypt. This one was impressive:

I don't see many story-focused wads being nominated around here, so one vote for Three Is A Crowd by @Scypek2, definitely an unique and interesting take on storytelling + mapping. There are some genuinely good maps in there. (Like 11 where you constantly have to lit up the map yourself)

Bonus for being vanilla-compatible.

 

[FieryGuardian]

+1 for Highway Acceleroid Booster and SHRINE II. Those were really good.

Thanks, but let's wait and see if I actually get it released in 2020, lol.

One more vote for Three Is A Crowd. Definitely some of the most creative vanilla stuff I've seen in quite a while.

[Master O]

@Revenant You got any screenshots for Three Is a Crowd?

[UnknDoomer]

Even though we recently saw the release of two wonderful episodes, The Wayfarer and Faithless, Heretic projects are still few and far between.

 

+1 for "Quest for the Crystal Skulls". Heretic WAD's require more attention if we want to see more good onces, not only DOOM related. Especially - in combination of mods. I've checked this thread https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=60112#p1048497 and see that "HeXeReTiC Fantasy" is only on #128 place, "Wrath of Cronos RPG" on #38. Mostly all top 50+ is DOOM related.

User awards recommends (Espi Award, perhaps?) or otherwise runner up nominations:

• Randy87, for the utterly amazing Savegame hack, allowing other FP perspectives aswell
• Xttl, for his EXE hacking work and his SNES hacking efforts, aswell as his previous exe hacks Sigexe, NR4TL and so on.
• In that light, Entryway for the Doom Plus works is also quite an obvious choice.

+++DBP25 as possible consideration for 'best DBP wad' (year to date)

[elend]

Awesome Megawad with a ton of interesting ideas and well done gameplay maps. Done in one month no less.

It's so bad, it's good.

I think it's an excellent wad

[AtticTelephone]

 

Although I technically started it, it’s more of a community project. It’s a really creative idea, so take a look. You don’t have to nominate it.

[whybmonotacrab]

Episode 1 for Doom 64 is honestly one of the best e1 remakes I've played. Faithful, yet has enough of it's own personality and twists to stand out.

 

[Fairweather]

Another one for DBP23: Evil Egypt

[taufan99]

+++ for Magic Doom. Nice episodes replacement with grim custom palette and gameplay tweaks.
