The Seven Sisters Review - 12:23:13 AM - pavlovscat |
I hope everyone has had a wonderful holiday full of joy & fun & good food! As Dan
guessed, I wouldn't miss Lady Rowena's masterpiece for all the Christmas pie (or
peanut butter fudge!) in the world! I couldn't wait to get back home and start
playing this one.
New Mission
The Mission:
Impressions: The pacing of the missions is superb. This was originally meant to be one big mission, but I think it works perfectly as a campaign. Nights One & Two take place in the city. However, this does not feel repetitive, because until Night Two, you have only one lockpick. For Night Two, many different areas become accessible with your second pick & new keys which you will find. Many things are altered between the first & second nights, so you feel as if you are exploring a whole new place. Night Three is the climax of the story. You start outside the city at the end of the sewer from Night Two. From here, you will find just about every environment represented: water, abandoned building, pagan forest, tunnels & caves, lost city and the unknown. There are many new, dangerous creatures and a few old, familiar enemies. The suspense and weirdness of the unknown build up to the climactic final fight where you receive help from an unexpected direction. There are so many things to see and do. I have more loot & secrets to find. I will play this over many times. Lady Rowena has given us an excellent campaign that definitely makes my personal favorites list. The time and effort that went into production of these missions is obvious. I loved that everyone had a name. Brava!

Mxleader's United Bank of Auldale - 12:25:37 PM - Dan |
A special holiday FM has been released on Christmas Eve!
United Bank of Auldale by mxleader I didn't think it was possible that we'd get another mission released in time for Christmas, but it seems I was wrong. Three cheers for a truly epic month of FM releases, and again, Merry Christmas! |
The Seven Sisters, by Lady Rowena - 12:43:28 AM - Dan |
After years in development, The Seven Sisters by Lady Rowena has been released!
A few months have passed since Garrett helped Basso and Jenivere escape together. They are now happily married and have settled down in a small town close to the city: East Fording, where Basso decided to open a locksmithing shop.What are taffers saying about The Seven Sisters? "Since the arrival of "LADY ROWENA'S CURSE", I have been hoping for a new one from Rowena. This one is no disappointment. The AI are unique, the plot a real grabber, and the action non-stop. I have played at all difficulties during testing, and must say that even on Easy, it will stretch your play to the uttermost. The architecture is beautiful. The conundrums solvable, but really make you think. One of my favorite characters in the game is an AI who dances. You'll find her on N2 dancing at a wine bar. Many of the AI are unique designs and extremely well done. But this little lady in her garish, nearly harleguin motley, is a jewel. In fact, while playing through, I sat at a nearby table and just watched her dance. There are many places in the missions that you should just stop and look around. As is common with missions by Rowena, the eyecandy, design, and careful planning is a delight to pause in game and just enjoy. " - theBlackman "Gawd, what an absolutely scrumptious fan mission! I'm spending more time here looking at the pretties, then getting on with the mission!" - Sluggs "I've had the pleasure of playing some of these missions off and on for over a year and I'm STILL amazed at how much there is to explore. Be sure to check every nook and cranny as there are lots of hidden treasures. On top of that, they are beautiful to behold and have an excellent storyline that holds everything together. For those of you who are just getting ready to play, set aside plenty of time and hold on to your hats because you are getting one of your best Thiefy Christmas presents ever. These will definitely reside permanently in my personal top 10." - Nightwalker "Beautiful! Brilliant! I think I'm almost done with night 1 and having a blast..." - Schwaa I expect our usual pavlovscat mini-review will be up in due time. I just know she wouldn't miss this one for all the Christmas pie in the world! Speaking of which - A very Merry Christmas to all! |

The Suffer Catalyst by Asgaroth Released - 1:02:57 PM - pavlovscat |
New Mission December 21, 2007 - The Suffer Catalyst a mission for T2 by Asgaroth
The Mission:
Impressions: I didn't find this to be the typical undead mission. The undead are there, but the place isn't stuffed with them. In most cases, it wasn't hard to avoid them. Experiencing the creepy atmosphere is worth dealing with the undead. I enjoyed the mission.

Bad Debts by Melan Released - 12:20:11 AM - pavlovscat |
New Mission December 17, 2007 - Bad Debts for T2 by Melan (Gabor Lux) Bad Debts Winter is a smaller version of this mission that does not use updated objects.
The Mission:
Impressions: This mission is one of the most immersive I have played in some time. I was so into it that I nearly jumped out of my skin when the phone rang. I spent a lot of time just wandering around exploring. The story is believable and well executed. There are many surprises during game play that have been made completely plausible by the progression of the the story line, including areas accessible only after an objective or action is completed. Overall, I really enjoyed this mission. Take the time to play this one, it's well worth it. I will definitely be replaying it many times. I finished my first run through on normal in 2:35:21 with 2468 loot. Of course that doesn't count the 2 or so hours I spent just wandering around between saves.

Sensut's Elizabeth Bathory Pt 2 Released - 10:41:00 PM - pavlovscat |
New Fan Mission
December 08, 2007 - Elizabeth Bathory Pt 2: Blood On
Ice for T2 by Sensut (Szabo Csaba)
The Mission:
Impressions: The mission starts off slow until you are able to get some keys & equipment. Frequently, I found myself quite confused as to what to do next but was able to figure out the next step with a better exploration of areas I'd previously passed through. Patience and attention to detail are required to play this mission successfully. I manged my first time through in 3 hrs 43 min with 7100 of 7350 loot and missed only 1 secret. I will be playing this one again - with Sensut's Lootlist!
Don't miss the beginning of the story, Elizabeth Bathory Pt

Three Crowns by BBB Released - 9:34:02 PM - pavlovscat |
New Mission December 07, 2007 - Three Crowns for T2 by Bryan Gleason (BBB) The Mission: It's a simple job for the Keepers; steal 3 crowns from a warehouse in the city. And, they've even promised me a generous reward for my time. Why do I have a feeling that the Keepers know more than they are telling me? Oh well, steal 3 crowns. What could possibly go wrong?
Impressions: I finished the mission in just under 2 hours; however, I was familiar with it already because I played it during beta testing. I am still short 430 loot, but there is ample loot to meet the objective. This mission has a variety of locations and AI which keeps game play interesting. Overall, I found Three Crowns very entertaining with good replay potential.

December FM Update - 10:21:29 PM - The Phantom |
Latest news report from the thread List of Upcoming Fanmissions on the TTLG forums. This update includes quite a lot of authors that were added to the list. There are also three authors who disappeared from the list. Two missions have been removed from their author's upcoming missions list because of release. These are: "Unnecessary Risk", the sequel to A Friend in Need part 2, by SlyFoxx ; "Hammerite Deathmatch" by Yandros. Originally planned for the Hammer Contest, but delayed and now released separately. All missions are available from The Circle's and Southquarter's FM Archives. A lot of news about several missions. Schwaa has officially left DromEd, and put both of his missions up for anyone who wants to finish them. One of them, the one including a waterfall and canyon, might be adopted soon. Finally we are able to see what Deceptive Perceptions II looks like. Yandros posted some screens on his new blog. The release of the mission, once started by William the Taffer years ago, doesn't seem very far off now. Other news from Yandros is that he abandoned most of his missions, except Deceptive Perceptions II, Hallowed Saints' Monastery, Death's Cold Embrace, The Idol and King Abedzen's Tomb. But, knowing Yandros, this may very well change in the future. sterlino's "The Flying Age" wasn't released as soon as we hoped, but has now officially reached beta stage. Might we able to play this promising mission in 2007? In short: The full list of changes are posted here. Until next update, The Phantom |
