Usually, people won't object.
The only exceptions I can think of right now is the old texture set for The Darkening episodes, but those were released for use a buncha years ago. The other is the Back To Saturn X episodes, they don't want their unique texture sets to be used until they have finally released the third episode, which I hear is supposed to happen somewhat soon (maybe early 2024?)

Just check and see if the included text says anything. If the .wad is like 15 years old or whatever, I doubt that the author even cares still.

BTSX is definitely one of the best looking ones.

I'd suggest the BTSX series. There's some macabre decorations here and there, but it's with a very light touch.

Vanilla and Boom is what you're looking for, if you just want to play in a classic or mostly classic mode, I'd suggest Chocolate Doom (basically a straight and faithful port of the original game's behavior to modern systems), or PrBoom+ (Boom, but better and more versatile, let's you play huge and detailed maps with some interesting advanced features that doesn't make the game come off as too modern).

Personally, I don't mind slopes and 3D floors if they're used in neat ways, though I absolutely agree it's very cool to see people actually work with and beyond the limitations of the engine.
Most of my favorite mapsets tend to be Boom format, despite me being a gameplay mod whore, largely because there's few great ZDoom mapsets which go well with gameplay mods, and most of the really good mappers make stuff for the Boom map format.

>So, I should wait until episode 3 is out before playing through them all?
Honestly breh, it's worth playing them now anyway because they're just so fucking good.
