First off - thanks for all the recommendations. I'm checking this thread out every month but nothing happened recently so I guess I have to bump it again with my own recommendations. I know that there still have to be many players out there so lets go!
I'm not really a fan of huge lists so here are my top 5 thief experiences besides TG & TMA:
Black Frog, The - 9 (Gold)
I think there's a chance that some of you have not played it yet as it is relatively new compared to other classics. A fantastic 5pack of missions with a completely unique style. Playing 5 minutes of the first mission already shows how much effort and love was put in this pack. A must play!
Mission X - 10 (Gold)
My favorite single released mission. Cannot describe it. Visit Klatremus' Supreme Ghosting site via google and read his ghost report. This mission is the maximum thief experience.
Ominous Bequest - 9 (Gold)
I think it's considered as one of the best missions ever by many long time players.
A classic mansion style mission with a great story and so many things to do that it keeps you busy for hours. Combined with great sense for detail and a really big area to explore it ranks in my top 5.
Pirates Downfall, A - 9,5 (Gold)
This one seems to be overlooked so I want to push it here. This mission somehow caught me more than others. Featuring a story about a pirate - as the title suggests - this mission comes with a huge area to explore, many secrets and puzzles and can keep you busy for a long time when you're not using any walkthrough. Thinking about my favorite thief experiences I really have to put this one in my all time top 5.
Thief 2X - 10 (Gold)
If you haven't played this yet - congratulations! Playing this for the first time again would be great. Overall this is my absolute favorite mission pack. I even like it more than Thief Gold and I'm playing it again and again. Beautiful mission design, good storyline, a lot of funny dialogues and very good ideas! Come on, a museum, a train station + train, a smugglers hideout, a brothel! How genius is that? Just download it and start playing!
I just started playing again a few days ago so I hope that some of you are more up to date in terms of new FMs - are there any good ones that came out in the last 2-3 years?
Don't hesitate to answer! Let's make this an everlasting thread :cheeky:

If you've not played the sequel
The Broken Triad, you should find time soon. It's as good or better than OB.

Hey klat, cool to know that you're still around and even checking this thread! I'm still using your site everytime I play! I'm sure I'm not the only one that would be happy to see some new ghost reports of FMs of you! :angel:
Thanks for the recommendation! How could I be overlooking The Broken Triad? Downloaded it and forgot it I think.
To follow the rules, here are some more recommendations:
Abominable Dr.Dragon, The - 8 (Silver)
The craziest mission I played with some new enemies and a wicked castle. Fun to play and very action-loaded.
Den, The - 9 (Gold)
I forgot about this one! Absolutely loved this finale mission of a great series. Features a prison breakout and a nice war against one of the best villains ever. Beautiful design, good atmosphere. A must play.
Smugglers Request, A - 8,5 (Silver)
Another great mission. I like missions that feel like the original ones, as if they could be a part of the original game. This is a great ghosting mission with great secrets and things to find. Somehow i found it very hard to ghost.
Thief - The Flying Age - 8 (Silver)
What can I say? Found it somehow cheesy in terms of design but the whole idea about flying machines got me. After the metal age, this would be the next step I think. With A bit more love for detail and filling rooms, I could have imagined something like that as official thief 3 release.
I also remember a mission on a vineyard which was fantastic!

Oh I check the forums almost daily, and post a couple of times a week. I've been working on my Supreme Ghost YouTube Let's Plays instead of written reports lately. I have a few projects in the works, including some new reports, but time has caught up with me and I'm too busy to get everything done these days. You should check out my videos if you have the chance. I'm planning on doing some for the CoSaS missions eventually. Mission X is one of my favorites after all. ;)

If you aren't affraid of a few zombies and some puzzle solving, try out "Bad Hangover". It has one of the best narratives I've seen. Also Xorak's missions (he only has like 2 or 3 so far) are very high quality in all respects. Haplo has interesting missions too like "Unholy Vivid Innocence" or "Pestis Cruenta". Intruder too for that matter, like his "A Dire Return" FM. Ofcourse, also "A Night In Rocksbourg" by DrK if you've managed to miss that somehow. And yeah do play "Broken Triad". To me it is the perfect FM. Maybe some bias from memories, but that's how I experienced it. It has an engaging story, atmosphere, visuals, puzzles and generally every good thing about FM playing balanced and strong.

Thanks again for the recs guys. Just replayed ominous again and it blew me away like the first time. Tomorrow I will get my hands on the sequel.
Few more recs:
From beneath the sands - 7,5 (Bronze)
Overall nice mission but a bit too sterile and not that fitting in the thief universe.
Pirates Ahoy! - 9 (Gold)
The first mission is one of my all time favorites. If you like pirate stuff, go ahead and enjoy this lovely 4-pack campaign.
Klatremus, which is the hardest mission to ghost you ever played? Mine is definitely ominous, almost beaten by The Grand Hotel.

Hmm...might be one of the original missions, like Thieves' Guild or maybe Escape. That one is a beast. :p
Ominous Bequest was hard, but nothing like those two.
Of course, other missions are hard in that they have many forced ghost busts like say Events in Highrock.
