Seems like TMA seems rather popular among mission makers....:weird:
I was a bit disappointed to see no mention of upcoming T3 fanmissions. Personally, I think the third game has some wonderful material to work with, and it's certainly possible to make a great mission, as demonstrated in Krellek's Labyrinth and All the World's a Stage... As far as I know, there are only 17 T3 fanmissions made so far, and most of them very short, scrapbook works really.
I just wonder why it's the way it is...
Guess I'll have to work on becoming a mission-designer myself if I want to see any new missions. :D

Maybe the editor is in some way more difficult to use than DromEd ? I cannot make any comparison yet, though, as I have just installed T3Ed, and am not familiar with it.

I’m nearing completion of my T3 mission so you can put me up there if you like. It’s the first thing I’ve done so it’s rather sketchy and not what I originally set it out to be but I hope people like it.
Author: Peter Willey (Aristed)
Upcoming Missions: Pagan Sewers (working title)
Previous Missions: None
Release Date(s): Unknown (fairly soon)
Progress: Nearing packing and objective.
P.S Poison Ivy it doesn’t sound like you’ve played The bridge yet, you really should its an absolute masterpiece with its own cut scene and artwork not at all scrapbook.

The reason this list doesn't includes T3 fm's yet is because keeping track of the T2 ones already takes enough time (you can see why :p). Also I'm not really aware about what's going on over at the Thief III Editor's Guild.
But I'll make a start with adding t3 missions, if the author supplies me with the information needed.
Aristed: your mission will be the first :)

Oh, I've played it all right - the very first I ever played, actually. :D I think I've played all the T3 missions there are... There are some masterpieces of plot and design, like The Bridge, All the World's a Stage, Krellek's Labyrinth... The Crypt isn't bad either. Most of the other ones are either too short *coughTheWalkcough* and/or too simple, without real challenges. A few seem under-tested as well. That's what I meant by scrapbook works.
The Bridge is definitely one of my favourites... As far as I'm aware it's also the only T3 mission with actual cutscenes. I think the Crypt may have had some but I'm not sure...

I have a few changes to report:
Due to a recent break through in the storyline and plot, I now have the name to part II and III of AKB and the storyline is about complete now. (I'm really excited about it, I think it has a few real good twists now and the third one now has the potential of being very interesting... If I may say so myself! :cheeky: )
These are the changes:
The Elemental Bane series:
Bane I: A Keeper's Betrayal (released)
Bane II: Cult of the Damned (Previously known as A Keeper's Betrayal II) (95% done- approximate release date: April 2007)
Bane III: Temple of Eternal Agony (5% done- No release date yet)

Yeah, I know. But I tried to give a cautious date. I'll be trying to hopefully beat it, not miss it. (Which is usually the case with release dates! ;)) I'm planning on releasing
Bane III without
too long of a delay!
I too would like to thank you for this fabulous thread. It's very informative. Also seeing the words "Halted" before one's project can be a really good poke to get some authors (I mostly mean myself) to get back to work on there projects! :thumb:
The Phantom: The work on the missions are actually progressing, even if it's a little slowly, but progressing nonetheless. Could you please change the project status back to "progressing"? Thank you. :)

Maybe it will have that effect on Saturnine! :D
