Let's Play a Thief FM: The Library, Part 2
Trevor | June 12, 2022 |   The Library (1999)   T1 FM
It’s not enough to nab a special book – there’s a foul odor rampaging around the library, and I’m going to find its source! Is it the ill-fated Brother Michael? Or just a bit of old cheese? Join me as I solve the mystery of the scent, pocket the one very special book, attempt to dodge at least one Hammerite’s winding patrol route, and spot obvious loot items I can’t believe I missed before (not necessarily in that order). It’s time for part two of my playthrough of The Library!

Ready to dust off some old tomes? The Hammers have more knowledge than meets the eye deep within their massive library, and it's up to our favorite Master Thief to find it. Join me as I brave marble floors, bright lights, tight patrols, and wacky rope arrow physics in this classic Thief fan mission, The Library!

Let's Play a Thief FM: Bloodstone Prison, Part 2
Trevor | May 21, 2022 |   Bloodstone Prison (1999)   T1 FM
The Haunts and other ghoulies are calling once more from Bloodstone Prison, and so it is time to continue my Let's Play! Join me for the spooky conclusion to this classic horror Thief fan mission, as I seek the aid of a friendly Hammerite ghost, have a few run-ins with a *non* friendly Hammerite ghost, and struggle to find a way out once I've nabbed the brooch (however you pronounce it!).

Come watch for some good, Thief-y fun!

Let's Play a Thief FM: Bloodstone Prison, Part 1
Trevor | May 9, 2022 |   Bloodstone Prison (1999)   T1 FM
This spooky Thief fan mission takes place in the haunted halls of Bloodstone Prison, an old Hammerite complex where the dead walk and a shadowy past lies. And I'm going inside - yep, *gulp*...I'm definitely, most certainly...going to go inside this place and not think at all about the Haunts, zombies...ghosts...

Join me, taffers, for some spooky fun as I continue playing early-era Thief FMs with this classic by Kung Fu Gecko. Come watch!

Let's Play a Thief FM: The Vigil, Part 2
Trevor | May 1, 2022 |   The Vigil (2000)   T1 FM
It's time to pay my due "vigilance" ... and continue my Let's Play of The Vigil! This time, I visit with the Hammerite sewer brethren a little more, sneak through the City streets with all its wonderful little guards, and come to grips with a graveyard puzzle that stumps me to the point of retreating to forum hints.

Come one, come all, for the conclusion of my playthrough of The Vigil - watch now!

*And if my backtracking, and being a stumped fool, aren't your thing, know that my bewildered wanderings lie between 0:47:15 - 1:30:10, so you'll want to skip that segment.

Let's Play a Thief FM: The Vigil, Part 1
Trevor | April 15, 2022 |   The Vigil (2000)   T1 FM
It's time to taff a Necropolis - or, more specifically, wrest a journal from a dead man's hands. In this sequel to Lord Edmund Entertains!, Garrett's breaching a duke's familial tomb and adventuring elsewhere underground (like into another sewer, the *real* thieves' highway....). Annoying guards who jump at the slightest lockpick noise and cryptic tombstone messages are just a couple of the features. Come watch!

Let's Play a Thief FM: Autumn in Lampfire Hills, Part 2
Trevor | March 27, 2022 |   Autumn in Lampfire Hills (1999)   T1 FM
It's a tremendously taffin', humongous-ly Hammerite, super spooky zombie deluxe special!

My adventure through Lampfire Hills continues as I finally come face-to-face with Sorrack Havensbast (eek!) after an extended key hunt. A romp underground in a haunted lair, a taff of an ancient Keeper hideout, and a second (!) mind-baffling key hunt make this a super deluxe Thief FM Let's Play special you won't want to miss! Come watch!

Trevor | March 20, 2022 |   Autumn in Lampfire Hills (1999)   T1 FM
Lampfire Hills is a cozy little district of the City but on this night, Autumn Souls' Eve, something dark is afoot. It's time to cozy up for a classic Thief fan mission filled with spooky vibes, dark secrets, gripping readables, and lots of *very* alert guards (they've had too much coffees, for certain). Spring may be dawning, but great Thief FMs are for every season!

Let's Play a Thief FM: Lord Edmund Entertains!
Trevor | March 13, 2022 |   Lord Edmund Entertains! (1999)   T1 FM
Hi taffers! Trevor the Taffer here, letting you know that my trip through 1999's Thief FM highlights continues with this Thief 1 gem: Lord Edmund Entertains!

Lord Edmund is indeed entertaining some guests and though Garrett isn't one of them our favorite Master Thief pays ol' Edmund a visit. Once again, a nobleman has a dark secret, and Garrett learns, like Lord Rothchest, Lord Edmund is definitely *not* a Hammerite.

Get ready for some thick, tasty Thief 1 vibes - come watch!

Let's Play a Thief FM: The Shadow of Lord Rothchest
Trevor | March 6, 2022 |   The Shadow of Lord Rothchest (1999)   T1 FM
My adventures through early Thief FMs continues with The Shadow of Lord Rothchest. This was FM author Purah's first - he of Calendra and Lampfire Hills fame. It's got an old bell tower, a crypt, Constantine's sword, and a nobleman who definitely isn't a Hammerite. Come watch!

Let's Play a Thief FM: A Noble Death
Trevor | Feb. 26, 2022 |   A Noble Death (1999)   T1 FM
I'm going to Let's Play some highlights from each era of Thief fan missions, starting with the very first! That's right, I'm going back to 1999 - when the first Thief FMs were made - and playing some of the most notable since, year by year, era by era.

I start here with the first Thief FM you could play through the game's executable (i.e., not through DromEd): A Noble Death. Highlights include a forced killing objective, a note from Cutty that just won't stay stabbed to the wall, and some good-ol' early user-made map vibes. Come watch!

And note that, ironically, the thumbnail depicts one of my most *ignoble* deaths during my playthrough...

A Noble Death was designed by Ben Meadows, a.k.a. Ishy, and released in June 1999 for the original Thief.

Let's Play a Thief FM: Feast of Pilgrims, Part 7
Trevor | Feb. 27, 2021 |   Feast of Pilgrims (2020)   T2 FM
My time in Feast of Pilgrim's Silversmoke district comes to an end, as I wrap up my deal with the demon and then creep back across the rooftops to HQ. Join me in my Feast of Pilgrims LP finale!
