Since Thief 1/Gold is celebrating it's 20th anniversary in November of this year. I would like to suggest a special fan mission to celebrate this huge milestone for the franchise! If anyone has any ideas what this special fan mission would look like, I like to hear from you, can't believe it's been 20 years already, time flies!:D

if i am not mistaken the whole reason this classic contest is going now is for this exact reason
so i guess this means thief 2 will be next contest for a classic contest t2 style

I see, so there are various fan mission contests taking place right now to create and submit the best fan mission you can create and share with the Thief community.

Actually, if you read closely, there's just one.

Yep. In my opinion, while it runs under the banner of "contest", really it's just a kick in the pants to get people working on new missions. Sure, it'd be nice to win, but I won't lose any sleep over it if my partner and I don't. Everyone wins, because it's looking like we get 10+ new missions to play.

Oh ok, and besides when I go on thiefmissions.com site, the site hasn't been updated with new missions since last year! Are people still making new fan missions anymore?
McTaffer on 11/9/2018 at 05:30
I should hope so. I'm co-authoring one right now. Beside's thiefmissions, Taffer's Paradise has a good selection, as well as Brethren's own Southquarter, which has (correct me if I'm wrong here) everything since thiefmissions stopped regular updates. Fortuni's (
http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=148090) Brief Summaries Page lists a number of other places you can get missions. People don't make missions as regularly as they once did, but the machine has yet to stop.

Oh ok, thanks for the heads up, I thought we would never see another new fan mission every again which would be sad. Oh nice, what new fan mission are you making for which Thief game, Thief 1/Gold or Thief 2? Like the Sims franchise community for example, people create sims and share them to download for other users to play with. Fan missions are the same, but much more difficult to create because it's so time consuming, you'll be spending more time creating missions than playing the actual missions.

It's for Thief Gold, as per the contest. I won't go into much detail about it because I don't want any spoilers, especially since it's only a little more than halfway done, and a lot could change.
