It's December 1 here, and soon yet another year will end. This year was productive for fan missions, while there were lesser numbers than back in the heyday of fan missions like the 2006, we got a huge variety of them, from small to big ones, from creeping around cities to infiltrating island prison complexes to breaking into Keeper libraries repurposed into a brothel. So here's a question, which mission of 2015 did you like the most? This is by no means a contest, this is just to share your opinions on the fan missions of this year.
Here's the list of fan missions released in 2015 so far(taken from Southquarter, Dark Mod mission list taken from Taffersparadise and repurposed): (

Do note that the list will be changed if more missions release this month.
(Numbers in brackets mean number of missions in the campaign).

Thief 1: Chalice of Souls
Thief 2: A job well done
Though honestly, it was tough to narrow it down. I don't think I've been disappointed with any mission that's come out in the last 3-4 years

I do hope your question is not too premature, last year 4 missions were released in December, 2 on Christmas day.
From that list however i would have to go for Religious Conflict by Cardia1.....possibly his best mission in a long time, i choose this mission as the Monastery in the second mission was just stunningly beautiful.
A close second being The Curse of the Skull Goblet by Firemage who won that contest and deservedly received a long awaited accolade.
Thirdly i would go for The Chalice of Souls by Skacky et al, yet another stunning vertical roof top mission that we have all come to expect of Skacky.
(maybe however i am being a bit biased as i beta tested all of the above missions)
A special mention should also go to Vincentlancon for the superb and never done before in Thief, but worked so well.....Dungeon Crawl....I so look forward to DC2
Sadly I did not get to play Heartcliff Island as my last computer did not seem to like it and i could not get beyond the prison area but i expect this one will be high on the list of favourite of 2015

Hah, I do account for that. If new missions come out on December, I will update the list and post about it here. I know for certain that Soul Tear's next mission will most likely be released this month.

I'm guessing he will go for another Christmas day release......we're all standing by over at Shalesbridge waiting for beta 1, and I for one am ridiculously excited about a new ST mission :laff:

There's hopefully several new contest missions coming too, from the 72 hour contest, within the next couple of weeks.
I'm still several missions behind, but as a whole, I think Gems of Provenance was my favorite mission(s) from 2015 (although I know half of them were released previously).

The City Waterworks from Gems of Provenance is my favourite one, and it is new.
Honourable mentions: A House of Locked Secrets (what a mission!), Nobles and Craftsmen, and With Snow as Sole Witness from The Chalice of Souls.

If TDM missions can be mentioned, then Sir Talbots Collatoral deserves a spot along with A House of Locked Secrets.
(And I'm not just saying that because Baal's WIP screens are among the most ancient (and highly praised) stuff in the TDM forums and he finally
released something...)
Dev_Anj on 1/12/2015 at 23:47
Yes, Dark Mod missions can be mentioned. A House of Locked Secrets was interesting, as was The Rats Triumphant. I'll be adding Dark Mod missions to the list.
And done.

Mission list in first post updated to include the 72 hour contest entries.
