Banshee was one of the early pioneers of FM design. He left us with two gems that hold up to this day. In "Lord Edmund Entertains", Garrett is gatecrashing into a secret meeting organised by Lord Edmund. He has to figure out how to break into Lord Edmund's Mansion and discover what this meeting i...

It's a good fan mission. I feel like the author's "Lord Edmund Entertains" was a bit better in terms of gameplay and story, but "The Vigil" is a solid creation that will keep you entertained for some time. Even though there are no ambient loops (room brushes are correctly set) in most places, the...

Small mission with 4 floors and few guards. What makes it interesting is that the guards randomly patrol their floor, so you always keep on your toes. I encountered a few bugs with light switches and ai not being able to switch lights back on. However I had fun and can recommend this mission.

Today "Avoiding Mistrust" (from DarkDragon) feels like far cry from the past, when modding for Thief: Deadly Shadows still existed, and Dark Mod had not yet fully outplayed unlucky third game as modding platform. In this mission Garrett infiltrates into the mansion of City Watch captain with ...

Fantastic campaign. It features so many environments known from original Thief levels (mansion, mines, Lost City, tombs, sewers, towers, Keepers' area, etc.) and polishes them to perfection - "Greatest Hits" with an individual tint. Garrett has to steal a valuable gemstone called "The Widow's Ire...

Joebarnin's third dark mod mission "Now and Then" is certainly a crowd-pleaser. True to his style the main objectives are tough to crack and will keep the player on their toes. Thankfully they are a lot less frustrating than in earlier missions and I found myself enjoying every moment of my playt...

DrK is one of the Thief scene's heavy hitters, responsible for "Lost Among the Forsaken" which is one of my all-time favorite FMs and one of the most popular of recent years. But long before that his first series of maps, A Night in Rocksbourg, was already accorded classic status, and they were i...

"A Night in Old Quarter" is a solid and enjoyable city FM, if not a particularly original one. The story is pretty thin but basically has Garrett venturing into the Old Quarter to steal a few pieces of merchandise, one of which is buried in the haunted Sealed Section, but you'll need to head to t...

Episode 1 of Bones sends Garrett to pull off a heist in a dockyard, which just happens to be located in a snowed-in section of the Old Quarter that was recently cleared of undead and reoccupied by the living. Much of the place is still abandoned though, and part of town is still in the undead's c...

We are immediately greeted with a more Italian architecture, especially in the poorer parts of town...

The third entry into JackFarmer's Hidden Hands is another wacky adventure in the steampunk world he's created. This time the player has to find the long lost builder citadel underground, but getting there will be quite an odyssey. Gameplay is mostly focused on light puzzle solving with a lot of s...

The Factory Heist is thebigh's first mission, and he's wisely kept it pretty small. Despite it's small play area there is plenty of challenge here, especially if you decide to play on Ghost difficulty. The guard's patterns are tight and unforgiving, combined with lanterns lighting up far and wide...

When I started "Now and Then", I thought it would be small city/museum mission. Our hero goes to the local museum trying to steal the famous painting "Now and Then" which depicts painter in her different ages - when she was young and when she was mature and adult. But things are getting more and ...

Having enjoyed a couple of Morrgan's T1 missions previously, I decided to give her (sadly unfinished) Greyfeather Gems mini-campaign a shot. Garrett is hired to recover the titular gems by the Lord Greyfeather himself; the catch is that the town of Rodamill, where the estate is located, was de...

Business as Usual is a small-scale city "playground" map consisting of a series of unrelated small objectives. The briefing and readables do the job of getting you outside and taking stuff. That's all they do, but that's clearly all they're meant to do. While it takes place in the city stre...
