This mission feels like the perfect choice for a cozy Sunday afternoon or evening, when you are up for something relaxing, familiar, and not overly challenging. In "The Hardest Way To Make An Easy Living", our adventure begins in a tavern with some friendly AI (a typical early era FM trope). Then, we head out into the streets to loot various sh...

Lord Bafford's Manor with a couple more guards and civilians, as well as a few minor tweaks and cosmetic changes. Almost indistinguishable from the original and most of these additions are only available on Hard and Veteran difficulty levels. I understand the intention behind this mission was not to change anything in the story, objectives, or ...

A little city mission made in a classic Dark Project style. Plenty of tight patrols, which makes the map suitable for ghosters. Apart from a few enterable apartments, there is also a small Hammerite church to explore. A bar full of drunk people, typical of older FMs, is present and feels quite cozy. Overall, nothing too special, but enjoyable.

Today has been one of those uneventful and sultry July days. With the overcast sky, heavy with the threat of rain, I decided to stay in and cheer myself up with an older Thief Gold mission. Although I was vaguely familiar with Vlad Midnight's missions, I do not think I have ever finished one. Intrigued by the screenshots and the description, I ...

As I'm European, I'm not familiar with the whole WWE SmackDown thing, so I had to look it up before playing. The demo consists of a few simple hallways with custom textures and one objective: to kill some guy in the ring. As another reviewer said, this little level can serve as a starting point for adding basic elements in DromEd. It's also a ni...

In Ashcombe House, we are tasked with robbing a modestly sized estate. A tunnel connecting the sewers with the mansion's hedge maze is dig by a bunch of goons and this is where our heist starts.

The target building is constructed and furnished in a Victorian style; there are three floors to explore. Had it not been for some new textures, As...

A hidden gem released in 2006, during a time when the golden days of Thief: The Dark Project modding had already passed. It was still a while before authors like Melan, BBB, and Vlad Midnight would begin a slow resurgence of fan missions designed in the classical T1 style. This mission, medium in size, takes us on a familiar journey. The objecti...

A satirical or cathartic project aimed at expressing frustration with the school’s administration. Giving points for originality because there is nothing like this out there. Otherwise, bizarre.

This is a tiny combat-focused mission where the Hammerites are your allies and the guards are the enemy. The story is really basic: the guards have stolen the Builder's Chisel, and the Hammerites ask you to help retrieve it. Starting from the original aspects of this map, it features changed health shields and menu colours, and falling sleet (sn...

While I can appreciate some "arena" FMs, this one is just a couple of basic rooms (with incorrectly rendered shadows) filled to the brim with various enemies. You are immortal and you get plenty of gear to use. Not worth checking out.

That was a fun and enjoyable mansion break. The mission can be completed in approximately 20 minutes, but there are a few well-hidden switches that make the experience a bit longer. The author is German and his English back in 2003 was not stellar, to say the least. However, the readables and objectives are pretty much straightforward, so I did ...

Pros:
- The scale of the mission is very large and while there is some backtracking involved, it is not hard to distinguish one area from another, so you are unlikely to get lost for longer than a few minutes.
- Beautiful design and architecture. Attention to details and colours is particularly impressive.
- Good writing. The readables are ne...
