Vote for your favourite Thief 2 fanmission of the year 2008! :)
"Others" includes the following missions: An old Friend, A Simple Job planned for this Evening, The Kindred Vault, Mechanist Facility, Slys UT Arena 2, The Bloody Flounders Inn, The Homeless Dude, The Horn, Vampire Skull, Weak Links, We Miss you, Bob!
General rules for the T2 polls: Demos, very short missions, foreign languages and OM remakes are only included if the space allows it. Same goes for missions that already appeared in one of the T1/TG polls. Big missions with 5 or more missions to play are excluded. There will be a separate poll for them.
Important note: Since there is quite a number of T2 fanmissions released in the year 2008, I cut the poll in 2. The first poll is already closed and can be found here: (

Why did you decided to put 6 missions campaign (Flying Age) in Others? I thought Others section is for smaller missions.

I wish The Flying Age had been on the main list because it's a real standout IMO. Its premise is that airships and other flying machines have been invented, and it has you aboard several of them and even building one yourself. The visuals are beautiful and the technical work is impressive. One of my favourites.
The Tower being a Lady Rowena FM is of course sublime. It makes excellent use of its small space and has all her hallmarks, including the opportunity to do a good deed for someone in need.
All For a Night's Sleep is one of the very earliest missions I played. The premise is what I always remember, a very silly reason for Garrett to go out thieving but a genuinely good small city mission.

Actually Flying Age needs to be in the campaign poll when that comes out, 6 mission definitely counts as a campaign.
Ashes and Dust is a great little contest mission from Random Taffer, check it out if you haven't played it yet.
Rust Belt Prison is also a great mission full of humour and a fair few bizarre scenes.
Guess All for a Nights Sleep and The Tower will be the front runners.

Thank you guys for your input, I noted down to put "flying age" into the campaign poll and removed it from others :)

I agree. In fact these two are all-time favourite fanmissions of mine:angel:

It doesn't really need to be there. The same thing like with Haddur. This mission has 3 super short missions and 3 longer missions. So it still could be in this poll.

Reasonable argument up to a point but this 6 mission campaign by Sterlino is a classic and should have been in the main section of the poll but Samantha didn't realise either the size of the campaign or the respect it has earnt in Thief FM history, so in fairness to equality I think it's correct that Samantha should include this in the campaign poll later.

The latter. As galaer already mentioned my thinking was the same as with Haddur, it does only have 3 long missions and 3 very short missions and it appeared to me as a weird mission so I put it in others. I have yet to play it after all. But since it is apparently this popular among the players I´ll add it to the campaign poll as requested :)

For some reason Flying Age never worked for me before. Inspired by this thread I tried it now and it works, the beginning is great but the third mission puzzles are the worst kind, just why put this nonsense in a campaign about flying vehicles :nono:
Samantha1 on 24/6/2023 at 10:06
And the winners are:
1. The Tower
2. Ashes and Dust
3. All for a Night´s Sleep & Unbidden Guest
Congratulations! :D
Next poll will be up tomorrow.
