I heard it is possible with some fixing to port Thief Gold maps into Dromed 2
Would it be possible to completely incorporate Thief Gold maps into Thief 2? As in, include in one large campaign with intros/maps/etc

Wrong. When NewDark is playing T1/G maps, it's running in a different mode. To integrate those maps into a T2 campaign, they'd need to be converted to native T2 format.

Uh... That's how NewDark Thief Gold essentially works. There's no need for whatever you're talking about.
I mean, would it be possible to literally combine the two campaigns of Thief1/G and Thief 2.
So, lets say I run the Thief 2 exe, could I have it so Thief G mission starts first, and then have the Thief G mission transition into a Thief 2 mission?
EDIT:

Ahh I see, is there a way to do this? If so, perhaps there's some type of tut. I could follow?

I had a similar question and I got told that you will also need to re-do all scripts because they work different in Thief 2.
However about 5 or 6 of the Thief gold missions have already been ported to Thief 2 before, so that'll save you some work.

Do you know where I could find them?

You won't find them on thiefmissions, as the host of that site refused to host them due to their questionable legality. You should probably search Southquarter and other sites for the names of the missions, which I believe included included Bafford's, Bonehoard, and perhaps RtC, but others here may know the complete list and even provide links.
It would help us somewhat to understand what exactly you're trying to achieve by porting them to Thief 2, the reason being that it's a lot of work since many of the T1/G scripts don't exist in T2, and if you already have Thief Gold you can just play the missions there.

Mainly furthering my knowledge of what is possible in Dromed.
But also, I would like to mix and match Thief G and Thief 2 levels in 1 seamless campaign.
This is mostly for fun. Having trouble finding the missions, if you see any lying around let me know ;) ;)

I downloaded them recently. I'm not at home right now but I can temporarily upload the files for you if you like. They are all the thief gold missions ever converted to thief 2 (about 6 of them). No other missions have been available unfortunately.

Then you are talking about an insane amount of effort to accomplish basically... nothing.

ZB is right, this isn't just an import, save and play type of thing (for the missions not already ported to T2). If you're not very adept with Dromed and scripting, it will be a very daunting task and might take weeks or even months of work per mission to get them working in T2. If you're just looking to mix and match, for God's sake just launch TG and T2 alternately and play whatever mission you're wanting to play in the sequence you're trying to create. What you're proposing is pretty crazy even if you're a scripting wizard and can convert each mission in a matter of days.
