Poem: Lord of the Earth - 11:20:23 PM - Elenkis

Lord of the Earth is an ominous piece of woodsie poetry written and submitted to us by M. Braun (aka MauSTuS FauSTuS). It starts like this... Bringsie – you ending to the world. Floodsie with knowledge that you learns. Sands flowsie and here I sits. Holdsie the edges of my tomb. Seasonsie past: seeks – you refuge by fires you made. Fearsie – you creatures that creepsie and crawlsie in shades. Servants of mine huntsie all for the taste of your meat. Panicky flesh huddle close ‘till the shadows retreat. Thanks M!

Senior Designer Leaves Ion Storm - 4:43:13 PM - Dave

Emil Pagliarulo, a designer on Thief I & II at Looking Glass and had started work on the third installment at Ion Storm has resigned. Emil, responsible for some of the best gaming maps ever has left to work for Bethesda Softworks on Elder Scrolls "stuff". Here's what the man had to say here on our forums. Hey all, Well, this isn't REALLY a farewell, since I'll still be floating around the Thief forums. But I just wanted to let you guys know that my time with the Thief series has officially ended. It was a great run, and I had a blast, but in the end I decided it was time for a change. I'm now at Bethesda, working as a designer on the Elder Scrolls series (you know, Morrowind-type goodness). I've always loved Bethesda's games, and have always wanted to help make them. Now's my chance. Rest assured, Thief 3 is in great hands! I like to think I did some good work on the project before I left, and you can be sure that everyone else is producing great stuff as well. Well, anyway, stay Thiefy, and I'll see you in the Bethesda forums! Well, there you have it. Good luck to Emil in his new job and thanks for some great gaming moments!

Fan Mission News - 8:16:13 AM - Dan

We should really do this kind of thing more often. This is the kind of stuff I love. But who has the time? :( I'll stop whining and get on with it. :) I saw Saturnine admit that he will be working on The 7th Crystal, Chapter 2. 7th Crystal is a very highly proclaimed 2-mission pack Saturnine released earlier this year. Naturally, news of this has gotten people very excited. No screenshots yet, however. Read and Discuss Christine has released some breathtaking screenshots from her 6th fan mission. She doesn't give away much info, only that there will also be a 7th mission in this campaign. You can find Christine's other missions in The Circle's FM Database. Just do a search for FM Author "Christine."Read, view, and Discuss The Watcher has posted screenshots featuring his FM, The Mages of Drom's Head (which seems to me to be a pun on the word Drom-ed, the Dark Engine mission builder). This mission will feature a splinter group of the mages introduced (and then forgotten about) in Thief Gold. Read, view, and Discuss Optimus Prime (who hasn't been seen since before Thief 2 came out!) has begun work on a Thief 2 mission, and I am glad he has! His talent is clear from the amazing screenshot's he's posted. Optimus is looking for any "script ninjas" who may be interested in helping out with some of the finer technical points. Read, view, and Discuss Master of Stealth has posted some screenshots of his current FM on his personal website. Looks like he also needs some tech help. :) Read, view, and Discuss Ghandaiah has posted great-looking screenshots about an FM he wants us to know nothing about! Though, he does admit that the mission has only just started development. Read, view, and Discuss And finally, this isn't forum based, but I was sent word that the Restored Cathedral v1.1 (there has been previous releases) has been uploaded and is ready. Download from this page, and view screenshots on this one. Zaccheus (the author) declares the following improvements: Much much dimmer lighting than before. The rooms are now nice and mellow, with plenty of shadows to hide in. Far more guards. On maximum difficulty, you will be hard pressed to get by without killing anyone, but it can be done. A lot more loot. Now you can collect over 2000g. A completely new ending. And ... the cloister area has been transformed into a vast open garden area. Sounds good. We'll get this into the FM database shortly.
