The Doom Master Wadazine

The Doom Master Wadazine (or Wadazine for short) is a fan-made. Published periodically, free of charge, it is "focused on anything Doom-related, with special attention to classic Doom and WADs".

Wadazine was founded by Endless, who still oversees its production. The debut issue was in July 2020. Since then, a number of other writers have contributed to it. The style of the magazine has changed over time, with the earliest issues being simpler and shorter than the later editions, which employ a more professional look. Currently, all issues undergo a full graphical design thanks to the efforts of 4MaTC and Nikoxenos, lead editors and graphic designers of the Wadazine.

Originally, it was announced in the Doomworld forums through an initial prototype, which gradually evolved into the current format, which includes different sections related to the Doom saga, with a special focus on the classic games. The magazine contains content ranging from: reviews, guides, tutorials, interviews with community members, historical articles, community events, WIP projects, mod reviews, top lists, a list of WADs released in Doomworld, screenshots gallery and special prizes designed by the staff.

The Doom Master Wadazine is open to the Doom community to freely contribute to it.

Magazine format
The project works through community contributions, which are in the form of directly written submissions, editing work and design work. The magazine is designed on a non-profit basis, being actively released free of charge to the entire community.

It follows a format primarily made to cover the main topics of the Doom community, with a consistent structure of content across all issues since its inception.

The main structure of content in each issue is divided as follows:


 * Table of Contents
 * Credits
 * Special Thanks
 * Articles
 * WAD Recommendations
 * Master Recommendation
 * Newstuff on Doomworld
 * Art Gallery
 * Pictures Gallery

The issues are also known to include fake joke ads, community content ads, puzzles and mini-games.
