It's kind of fun reliving this vicariously through you.

In one way, the fishery in mission 4 inspired the haunted catacombs in
The Drymian Codex.
The
torches going out in the catacombs is indeed brilliant, incredible suspense

Done! That was an intense but delightful campaign. (and more fan missions ought to conclude with end credits/movies!) Very satisfying, especially after I got to dump that creature into the lava pit. (not sure there was a "right" way to do it - I just ran around the pit with him chasing me until he seemed to step into it and die.)
Anyway, I appreciate the recommendation! For a thread called "Missions with best story development", The Black Frog was right on the money.

Because of you Motley Fool, I decided to check out this campaign! Unfortunately I don't have much time to play fan missions these days so I only managed to get through Songs and Laughter before having to quit, but it was a very promising start and overall hilarious! Brought back a lot of Thief nostalgia (it's been a while since I've played). Very eager to continue!

Excellent! I have Made a Difference. :thumb:
A quick time calculator for completing each level of the campaign, if you play the Motley Fool Way TM (which is pretty slow)
Level 1: Short
Level 2: Long
Level 3: Shortest (I just wanted to get it over with!) :o
Level 4: Longest!
Level 5: Long

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind as I slowly crawl through them!

I still hang with frobber's AKOTP. I still have a copy of the original "screen play" done up all nice in actual movie screen play style. It's ...about 70-80 pages and has the master plan all laid out from the beginning. Every spoken word, every objective, every plot twist, locations, player motivation...the lot. It was conceived ahead of time, on paper, in words then brought to life with the dark engine. Plenty of missions have been "better" but I've not been privy to a more calculated and well planed vision from step one. Of course Ken IS an actual rocket scientist and not much goes far in that field without a real plan ...so it was just in his nature. But what a journey for Garrett just to... well if you've played you know and if not, far be it from me to spoil it! :sly:

That campaign sounds familiar - 9 missions or so? I remember it as one of the first FM's that I knew of, and unfortunately I don't think I made it past chapter 2 or 3. I seem to remember some really, really long stretches of walking past featureless walls. Just seemed to take a long time to get anywhere. If it had a story line, I guess I didn't get far enough into it.

It did...just some of it was probably too large for its own good. Just because you know how to build rockets doesn't men you have the whole game thing surrounded...but he sure gave it the 'ol "college try."
