>Do you still remember your first custom WAD? Have you revisited it?
It was probably Community Chest 3, DUMP3 or BTSX - I would definitely revisit cc3 and DUMP3 (foregone destruction from cc3 and felt from Dump3 are somehow heavily ingrained in my memory - those two maps are the reasons I love using the gothic banners and those vanilla bookcase/painting adjacent textures in my maps, and one of the reasons I started mapping). Many other maps from DUMP3 were really enjoyable - the hub map with urquan music, that panic room one, bouncy castle, the quake1 styled, and many good tech base ones
BTSX I felt was really boring, but it was my first contact with a map pack that has so many well made custom textures and HUD graphics that play well into eachother and the style is preserved through it, kudos for that - though that was also one of the reasons I found it boring - would probably not revisit
I was tainted by playing mostly community packs in my early doom playing years and ever since I find eclectic map packs like the /vr/ ones and DUMP the most fun to play, I just love it when all levels look and play so different from eachother.

I use axe because it makes me look cool you see because the axe is this cool berserker weapon, akin to fighting tooth and nail like a wolf or a bear.
