There are two misconceptions that plague the fm scene, one is inability to see anything = scary/atmospheric, the second is bigger = better. This fm falls in the latter category....

I think it's best if we see as much variety as possible in FMs. All sizes: small, average, large. There are so many different preferences and players that this way everyone probably gets something they can enjoy. I wouldn't really say that FM size itself would be a problem.

I agree that some of these smaller FMs that you Matt listed are very good, especially Alcazar, Morning Light and Lone Rock Outpost. Others mentioned were also enjoyable!

For a mission from 2004 this one looks quite nice. Some interiors are quite simple looking and a bit empty but that's to be expected for such an old FM. I really liked the outside areas which are creative looking and there's a nice variance in the architecture of buildings.

I think the mission's strengths are varied areas and solid use of amb...

This debut FM is quite short but it absolutely succeeded in creating a good T1/TG atmosphere. There isn't anything redundant in the mission and maybe that's one of the reasons that make it so similar to OMs. Good job and I'm definitely looking forward author's new FMs!

You don't have to re-edit anything. I think this messaging can improve the way we see things and understand each others opinions and how we see things in many different ways. Let's go on and remember to keep taffing and keep Thief alive!!

Matt, I hear you, you have some good criticism in your review. Still, I must admit that I didn't like at all that sentence with AI comparison, felt like a low blow. I know no fan mission should be above the criticism, but to compare it as a work of an AI is rough. And, yes you had positive things to say too and I read the whole review and except that certain part I understand your points here. But exactly like Trefoilknot said, that kind of sarcasm is unpleasant really and tasteless. Thus, th...

I appreciate all the feedback and I won't stop building if someone compares my work as an AI work. I appreciate the critisism especially if it tells me what to improve in the future. I'm honestly glad there are people who enjoyed my FM! Keep on taffing everyone!

Lord Taffer    April 10, 2024, 8:21 p.m.

This mission is for the player to blow off some steam. Some readables are obscene and crazy at times, but I still had fun. Story is just so insane and comical at the same time. Overall: witless, quite mad, but refreshing fan mission.

message   Very solid old FM
topic about   Bloodstone Prison (1999)   T1 FM
Lord Taffer    March 9, 2024, 11:17 a.m.

For a mission made back in 1999, this is absolutely great and even today this would be a very solid FM! It's got clever layout and the author has really designed it to be played sneaking rather than sword fighting. The story was interesting and it fitted in nicely.

I definitely recommend this old FM, if you aren't too afraid of the undead.

topic about   Lord Binclair (2000)   T1 FM
Lord Taffer    Feb. 19, 2024, 10:37 a.m.

As a mission from the very early years (2000), I think this is a really solid mission. It's very nostalgic, reminds a lot of Lord Bafford's Manor. The architecture is a bit plain but there are still nice looking details, like small gardens in the city streets, Lord Binclair's garden and a cool snowing effect in Binclair's balcony.

Lord Taffer    Feb. 27, 2023, 9:19 p.m.

The beginning is quite simple. Starting point is outside of a Hammerite Temple and the temple is quite small from inside. There's a graveyard behind the temple and from there the journey goes underground. There's some puzzles before player gets to Sepulchre itself. I found the puzzles just enough challenging, not too difficult.

The real creep...

This is my first FM that I've played from Korthak and it was truly an enjoyment! The city is dark and it has a strong TG atmosphere. There are lots of climbing opportunities and interesting buildings to explore. Especially Lord Guldenberg's and Lord Leveilleur's buildings have very cool architecture and layout that is inspiring.

Then there is...

Catacombs of Knoss was as amazing as ever now that I played it second time! I have to say that I can't remember all the details since it has been a couple of years since my first playthrough and that's why it's hard to say what's new and what isn't. I believe Part 1 had some new areas/buildings to explore. They fitted in very well and made it mo...

Death's Cold Embrace has a very strong story all the way. Every mission in this campaign is interesting but for me the most exciting ones were: Waking the Dead and The Ritual. I think these two missions had the most thrilling atmosphere.

Waking The Dead has a nice plot twist when the dead in the cemetery get restless and start troubling Hamme...
