Who knew, War on Christmas is so popular it got a sequel. After a full month of Hell reve(a)lations you might appreciate a more restrained session and so in the spirit of the season we made a deal with most of the demons to wear at least a hat and that's not all - the maps are pretty chill in more than one way and bring more zambies to plow through than you could hope to fit under the Christmas tree. Quite the perfect wad to unwind in this stressful part of the year!

Just when you thought there's no more to be revealed Hell is there to prove you wrong once again. A few maps didn't make it into the main wad but luckily were preserved and assembled to provide some extra carnage to those thirsty for more demon blood!

The final stretch of Hell Revealations features, as you might expect, even more monster-filled maps than previously and a few more Hell Revealed homages as well. A lot of care was put into making the whole megawad suitable not only for coop but also ZDaemon specifically, as shown by MAP30's unique mechanic being made compatible with ZDaemon by none other than worst-vd-plas, one of the people who brought TNS into existence!

Onto the middle part of the wad which reveals a few of the first monster-populous maps. Some maps in the first third were already quite rough with the multiplayer monsters and it sure isn't getting milder now so I hope you'll come prepared!

You'd think after 30 years of intimate relationship with Hell there would be no more things to reveal but those sneaky demons seem to find creative ways to hide their dirty secrets. Hell Revealations [sic], an unofficial sequel to Hell Revealed I & II, is here to help us with that and it brings more extra multiplayer monsters than you could ask for but also some proper firepower to go with that!

While we played most of Ad Mortem last year it turned out the wad was not quite finished yet. Thanks to an update just a couple of weeks ago, ZDaemon conversion by UberGewei and coop fixes by boom_compatible we get to enjoy 7 more maps with a superb spooky theme. In case the Halloween spirit refuses to leave your body to make space to be possessed by the Christmas one, here's your extraordinary chance to exorcise it!

Saturnia is a Plutonia-inspired episode featuring monsters in low numbers but often diabolically arranged in ways to still provide a sizable challenge. An extremely unique feature of the wad is that the skills are essentially switched to create a more friendly Nightmare giving us the historic first TNS session starting with a difficulty lower than Ultra-Violence! DMFLAGS: 1174487140 / 806496256 / 96 Skill: Hey, not too rough IWAD: plutonia or freedoom0_12_1 PWADs: saturnia Maps: 01-10, 31, 32 Lives: 1 Players: 30/100 Item Respawn Time: 60 seconds Player Join Limit: 3 minutes Date: 9th November 2023 Euro session: 19:00 GMT/14:00 EST at [L@P], France Get ZDaemon and join in.

1 Fast Fight is a 10+2 map episode with a quite unique concept true to its name - the maps are essentially one room fights of varying sizes but always with an unrelenting presence of monsters forcing you to keep moving to stay safe. The wad also features the exceptional gimmick of halving the health of all monsters so come claim your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to feel the satisfaction of killing a revenant in one SSG shot or an archvile in two! Note to everyone who didn't have a time change last week: most of Europe did so the session will start an hour later than it usually does for you.

The dark and atmospheric screenshots don't lie - we're in for an early Halloween TNS session. That might come with the by now familiar additions of Dutch origin but this time with a Spanish name that should send shivers down your spine looming over it. That should set the eerie tone of the season just right; if you are a TNS regular you shouldn't miss this one!

After successfully following the advice to not down your piňa colada we're back to take the final sip of this 24-map megawad with a hard limit of a maximum of 75 monsters per map (which doesn't include multiplayer-only monsters, however). Despite the modest monster counts you can look forward to a few evil traps among some more casual gameplay, overall making for quite a challenging experience!

After 2 weeks of Nostalgia 2 by myolden we immediately follow up with a community project megawad that just so happens to be led by him. If you'd expect that to bring similar maps, at least in concept, you would not be entirely mistaken but this time there's an abundance of custom textures and skies, the limit of max 75 monsters per map and perhaps most importantly, pistol starts! DMFLAGS: 1174487140 / 806496256 / 0 Skill: Ultra Violence IWAD: doom2 or freedoom0_12_1 PWADs: PC__RC2 Maps: 01-12 Lives: 1 Players: 30/100 Item Respawn Time: 60 seconds Player Join Limit: 3 minutes Date: 12th October 2023 Euro session: 19:00 BST/14:00 EDT at [L@P], France Get ZDaemon and join in.

Finishing up what we started a week ago. The monster counts don't change much but the difficulty does increase in the latter part of the wad. While not overly difficult, the gameplay is quite trap-oriented and almost all maps have the occasional archvile or two to keep you on your toes! DMFLAGS: 1174487140 / 806496256 / 0 Skill: Ultra Violence IWAD: doom2 or freedoom0_12_1 PWADs: Nostalgia__2__RC3 Maps: 16-30 Lives: 1 Players: 30/100 Item Respawn Time: 60 seconds Player Join Limit: 3 minutes Date: 5th October 2023 Euro session: 19:00 BST/14:00 EDT at [L@P], France Get ZDaemon and join in.

Just when you thought you've become immune to nostalgia it hits you with a sequel. Such is life and to remind us of that, at least by its name, Nostalgia 2 brings 32 more short to medium-length maps with a "just right" difficulty - all ideal for the TNS rotas experience! DMFLAGS: 1174487140 / 806496256 / 0 Skill: Ultra Violence IWAD: doom2 or freedoom0_12_1 PWADs: Nostalgia__2__RC2 Maps: 01-15, 31, 32 Lives: 1 Players: 30/100 Item Respawn Time: 60 seconds Player Join Limit: 3 minutes Date: 28th September 2023 Euro session: 19:00 BST/14:00 EDT at [L@P], France Get ZDaemon and join in.

The promised slaughter is about to get more intense in the second half of the wad. There will be no revenants or archviles, let's see if the Doom slaughter feels the same without them! DMFLAGS: 1174487140 / 806496256 / 0 Skill: Ultra Violence IWAD: doom or freedoomu0_12_1 PWADs: OTEX11D1 Cleanout-RC2.03-ost Maps: e3m1-e3m6, e3m9, e3m7, e3m8 Lives: 1 Players: 30/100 Item Respawn Time: 60 seconds Player Join Limit: 5 minutes Date: 21st September 2023 Euro session: 19:00 BST/14:00 EDT at [L@P], France Get ZDaemon and join in.

It's been a while since we've had some true slaughter on TNS. This time it's going to be quite non-traditional because not only is Cleanout a Doom 1 PWAD but it unusually still uses Boom actions and OTEX textures. The monster counts are relatively light until the middle of episode 2 so let's use this session as a warm-up for the next week!
