If anyone is interested I found 3 other short missions released in 2002: Ochiru, First Person Shooter and Baron's Provisions.
I played the first two, but not the third one. Thanks for the heads-up, I will add that one to the list of T1/TG missions I have yet to play.

All Astir, Broadsword of Sheol, Nightcrawler and Walking the Edge can be downloaded from Thief Missions as individual missions, but yes your right Aemanyl I don't think they were officially released as stand alone mission.
The early years produced a lot of demo's Ochiro, First Person Shooter and Baron's Provisions are just 3, there were more such as the Alarus Extension, Hero Quest, Whack-a-rat, Athene, Bed1, Drunken, Pinball, Reborn of the Hammerites, sadly the best place where you used to be able to find them easily was on the now defunct Gnartsch portal (well the portal is still there but the link to the missions has gone).
Nowadays you'll find a fair few of the demo's on Darkfate (
https://darkfate.org/view/details/fan-missions/demo) here.
Thief Mission also has a few demos (

Thanks everyone! I went through them like a breeze. Most of them I did not like, but the embassy level was good, and The Item was a very fun dungeon, so I'm voting for those too. Brainchild is interesting, and Deadly Darkness was a fun magic mayhem that reminded me of Calendra's Cistern.
Could someone remind me what the embasy level's name was?

The Secret Way, it's a masterpiece
I had checked this mission as mediocre for myself without completing it in 2020 but after reading your comment I gave it another chance last weekend and I'm glad I did, it's a very engaging and challenging mission that gives great sense of progression and accomplishment. I wonder how many other great missions I have skipped due to my impatience.

The secret way is the only mission I have yet to play. So far heart & soul is my only favourite. Trial by night and the restored cathedral were pretty entertaining aswell :)

So far I've played everything except the missions from the Shadow of Doubt campaign and I think that this time I'll manage to play everything on this list. I played only Trial by Night and Heart and Soul before which are both good. And I'm actually surprised that one of my favourites is a Japanese mission by JIS (DarkTeam). These missions are usually nonsensical and are sometimes barely playable but Hell Chapter 2: The Lost Age is really cool. It actually reminds me of Into the Odd in some ways. There's basically no story, there are no readables and it's a demo from what I understand. But there's this bizarre feeling of weirdness to it and the design is interesting. It starts linear but then opens up. It's kinda hard to explain it but there's just something unnerving and weird about it that I love. Also, another JIS mission, UFO, surprised me, again, there's something cool about it. Other than these two I really liked The Item and Thief: Brainchild. I'd also give honorable mentions to Woodkey Resthouse, Deadly Darkness and UndeadLand. Now I can't wait to try the Shadow of Doubt campaign, it's been on my list for quite some time. Anyways, I really like these polls, there's so many hidden gems to discover this way :D

That´s very nice to hear! :) After just finishing "the secret way" I have to absolutely agree with the hidden gems to discover. This mission is so cool, I cant believe it was made only in 2002! So many original things included like going a secret way to be able to open a door from the inside or shooting a button above you to open a door above you! :D Also the many new conversations were so refreshing! Some of them I´ve never heard before. So cool! :D This mission was so good, it will be the only one to get my vote in this poll cause for me it was by far the best one :)
