- Happy New Year, Mr. Lambert and
- Turn of the tide
are really great missions with a unique yet very thiefy atmosphere and gameplay.

A lot of stuff in the OP is stuff I rated pretty highly in my FMsel data.
So here are some people may or may not have played, two of the 72hr contest missions from 2015;
Dirty Money by Drk
Vanishing Point by Skacky
Short-ish missions with a lot going for them in terms of exploration, despite being made in 72 hours or less.

Zealot's Hollow by Xorak.
Upside Down by Zontik.

If there's enough interest and suggestions, I'm up for adding (assuming there's space and everything else in the thread doesn't go bananas) a Hidden Gems category to the Fan Mission by Type thread but I'd want names of missions and 'anything by BBB or cardia and dront', though absolutely accurate, isn't very helpful. In the meantime, I'll add this to the Links thread.

Excellent idea for a thread.
I'll remember these small FMs which I enjoyed tremendously but are seldomly spoken of:
- The Cell Next Door, by Francine
- The Focus (contest 5 entry), by Ramirez's Old Fat Burrick
- The Royal Garmyth, by Hidden in Shadows
- The Cistern, by Gumdrop

While these guys are two of my favorite authors, I wouldn't call any of their missions "hidden gems" as their works are well known to most players. I think the point here is to name great missions either by more obscure authors, or which are among the least well known missions by an otherwise known author.

Saints and Thieves
Dark Messiah
Durant
Mystic Gems (series)
Two Fathers
I wish my memory was more reliable, I think I could've had some more obscure recommendations that this. I played every mission is a very short time span so they all kind of blend together.
Also in FMSel I've consistently rated missions by Uncadonego, PsymH, Ottoj55, and Haplo with high ratings and I don't see their missions talked about much.

These are all awesome recommendations. However, like a few of you mentioned, I'd like to refocus the suggestions to specific missions, and not authors in general. Also, the thread should mainly suggest less talked about, perhaps more obscure missions, most likely by less known authors. It doesn't have to be missions that will be well liked by everybody, but could be more niche missions, either you love it or hate it kind of thing.
A good example is 'Lost In the Far Edges' by Soul Tear. I loved that mission, but I also completely understand those who hated it. If I had played it as a beginner, I would've torn my hair out. Though I still maintain it's a mission everyone should try. And I challenge everyone on this forum to ironman it...:sly:
