Fanfic: The Keepers' Secret - 11:14:03 PM - Elenkis |
The Keepers' Secret is the latest short story added to our library. It's about a Keeper named Lanford and was written by Andrew Vecchiarelli. Here's a snip:
Casting aside all better judgment, I left her in a dark alleyway as I checked out a couple of nearby houses. One was completely deserted three buildings down. I returned to the alley, picked up the woman and casually walked to the new hideout. The air was stale and fowl inside. I placed her on a bed in one of the second floor rooms and investigated the smell. The house seemed eerily bare and upon searching the cellar I realized why. I found two bodies laying there, the result of a botched robbery. This new safe house wasn’t that safe at all. I took some food from the kitchen and returned to the side of the young woman. Tending to her bruise with a damp cloth and a bowl mixed with water and alcohol, her complexion turned from pale back to coloured. After feasting on stale bread and warm wine she went back to sleep as I finally opened the book that caused all this trouble in the first place.Thanks Andrew! |

An Update for Hashishans... and other stuff. - 10:25:29 AM - Dan |
Hello.
:) Right, so Hashishans has been updated and brought to version 2. I'll let you all nab that from the author's site if you want: Clicketh. Or if you don't want, from Jason: Click here. You know you want to. It's also been updated in the archive, yadda yadda. If you have NO IDEA what Hashishans is, choose the author's site. :)
Oh yes, and the Shadows of Doubt Mission 5 (and incidentally, the whole campaign itself) has been updated with some tweaks. Since the filenames are the same, there's really no work for me to do here... uhm, if you want the new versions, the best thing to do is to check out the news posts below. :)

Four New FM Reviews - 1:46:23 PM - Dan |
Eric D'Avignon (Anarchic Fox), our new mad elite reviewer, (hehe) has sent in four new reviews of older Thief 2 missions. (Rather than do four posts for this and push yesterdays news off the page, I'm going to put it all in one post. ;)
First up is Bloodsport, by Metalhead, and released in February of '01.
Next is Gervasius' Archery Tournament, by Mike Hopper, and released in April of '01.
The third review is of Breakout, by Belboz, and released in May of '01.
The final review is of Silent Nightmares, by Jeremy Catlin (HipBreaker), also released in May of '01.
All of these missions can, of course, be found in the FM archive. To make it easier, I've added download links inside the mission reviews, for once. :D (It's one of those... duh, why didn't I think of this before? ideas. ;)

FM Campaign: Shadow of Doubt - 11:52:24 AM - Dan |
This is a compilation of the five Shadow of Doubt FMs into one campaign. Sperry's gone through an awful lot of effort to bring this campaign to us, and I expect each and every one of you to personally thank him! :)
|
New FM by Tom N Harris, 'The Taffer's Tower' - 11:41:16 AM - Dan |
Our final FM for today (or maybe not?) is The Taffer's Tower, a comedy mission by Tom N Harris. It sounded goofy before I read what the mission is about... and after... well, see for yourself. Hehe. Thanks, Tom.
|
New FM by John D, 'Your Last Breath' - 11:36:56 AM - Dan |
Next up is "Your Last Breath," an FM (his second, I heard) by John D. Congratulations on finishing your mission, John, and thank you for sending it in!

Sperry's 'Shadows of Doubt' Campaign Continues - 3:15:58 PM - Dan |
Sperry's 'Shadows of Doubt' Campaign continues with the 5th mission, Nightcrawler. Nice! According to Jason's site, there is a 6-mission Shadows of Doubt campaign pack coming. I'm guessing that we may see mission 6 before then, but I could be wrong. :) Anyway, thanks Sperry!

Review, The Eye of Ruthford, 2.5 Hammers - 11:33:27 AM - Dan |
Eric D'Avignon's final review for today is of The Eye of Ruthaford, another old T2 mission, by William the Taffer. This one was released in February of 2001, and subsequently re-released several times after that. Here's the blurb on his review (which is of the final and current version):

Fanfic: A Thief in the 30's - 2:40:07 PM - Elenkis |
Antonio Salazar has finished chapters fourteen and fifteen of his ongoing novel about the adventures of Garrett and Mercury, A Thief in the 30's. Here's a peek from the new chapters:
Mercury had gotten used to apemen. However, the fact that they were in the sea froze his blood within his very veins. He rubbed his eyes several times, and the fact that they were still there made his heart pound faster to try to move the frozen blood through his body.Thanks Antonio! |
Shadow of Doubt Updates - 1:50:02 PM - Elenkis |
A couple of updates about Sperry's recently released Shadow of Doubt campaign that require some attention:
Most importantly is a correction noted over on Jason's site. The missions require Thief Gold to play properly and are NOT designed for Thief: TDP as originally reported. Attempting to play the campaign in Thief: TDP will result in invisible enemies amoungst other possible problems. The second update comes in the form of bug fixes to the missions themselves and some nice new readme files that contain plot descriptions and all the correct info :)
Our database has of course been updated to reflect both of these changes. Keep an eye out for a full ZIP version of the campaign coming soon.

Thief LARP - 1:17:10 PM - Elenkis |
That stands for Thief Live-Action Roleplaying Game, which is exactly what a guy named Gregory Clark has started. To explain better, here's word from the man himself:
I've started a live-action role playing game set in the Thief universe, using a set of rules initially hashed out by some friends. After a little tinkering, the rules were adapted to the steampunk Thief world, and we're off and runnning. At present, we have Keepers, Pagans, Hammerites, an aristocrat, and even some undead in play.So there you go, if the sound of that interests you then go check out the site. Good luck with the game, Gregory! |
Artwork from Garrette - 12:54:42 PM - Elenkis |
Garrette has sent us another sketch for the art gallery, this time the drawings depict the mechanical children of Karras.
Thanks Garrette!

Campaign: Shadow of Doubt - 4:29:02 AM - Elenkis |
Shadow of Doubt is a new Thief 1 campaign from Sperry that comprises of 4 new missions. Again the readmes contain no information (seems to be a growing trend), however briefings and plot descriptions can be found at the author's homepage. Sounds pretty interesting, looking forward to playing this one myself :)
All four missions can be found in the database, with direct links below:

FM: Hammerite's Brutality - 3:53:03 AM - Elenkis |
This new Thief 2 mission comes from T. Nagy Levente. The readme provides no information about plot or briefing, so I am unsure what this one is about. Download it and let us know what you think in the forums :)

ISA Thief 3 Forum Offline. - 5:19:53 PM - Darkwarrior |

[Edit by Elenkis] But you can of course continue using our own Thief 3 forum right here.
