Runaway Train, KDiZD, and Demon Eclipse, in that order.
MAYBE AEoD, but only if it is clearly stated that not all mods are so "clusterfuckish". (Don't get me wrong, I love it, but it could be overwhelming for someone who is just coming out of vanilla.)

You know, a WAD I got a couple of my Doom-stupid friends into with was ZBloodpack. Yeah, it's mediocre-to-average vanilla maps with every single Doom, Heretic, and Hexen texture thrown in, coupled with all of the Weapon and Monster resource wads, but it's still a fun time an it got my friends into ZDoom, so yeah. :P

Although neither of them want to learn to map or code. So I'm a god to them. 8-)

Asshole. :P They just think it's neat that I can make weapons and stuff. And they're fully aware of the fact that I'm relatively mediocre. :lol:

Have to admit Thunderpeak (plus the one after it in ZPack) is a good shout.

Void was the first true Zdoom wad I played (if you don't count ZD, that was my first sourceport) and that blew me away, so I would almost certainly show that, KDIZD like many have said...and some others~

Am I the only person who thinks introducing ZDoom to an oldschool Doomer is a bit strange.
Surely you want to intoduce ZDoom to someone interested in a source port, or game egine, which is feature rich, not someone who prefers things how they were?

Doomsday of UAC (UAC_DEAD). You can finish it in ZDoom, but not in Doom anymore.

Depends. I was talking about someone who is completely unaware of source ports with enhanced features.

^Me 2 years ago :D

ZDCP Take 1, and Daedalus

Actually, I have yet to introduce myself to those two projects, so here I go.....

I don't hear much about it, so did daedalus flop, or was it boring? Though I guess it doesn't introduce the doomer to MODERN ZDoom anyways.
