Hi! Casual-ish Thief player here. I've played the duology and a couple of fan missions as well as The Black Parade.
I want everything. As in, every known fan-mission ever made in one massive zip-file. Maybe seperate them between The Dark Project and The Metal Age, and I'll extract them to their seperate directories and just full-on indulge in Thief. You know that weird Doom CD with 1000 levels? That, but for Thief. A ginormous burger I can nibble on whenever I feel like it.
You may be thinking, "Are you insane? Are you seriously asking for someone to take the precious time to package and organize every recorded fanmission just so you can conveniently binge fan-made content without having to download each and every one?" To that I say: Yes! Unless it's already been done, which, who knows? It may have.
Any person who's posting on this forum must be a die-hard fan, so please, tell me: Does this exist? Is "Thief Fan Missions: The Complete Collection" a real thing? Even if it's outdated, I'm fine, don't worry. And if it doesn't exist, I'll just ride into the sunset and you all can forget about this post. Thank you!

Just go here and download everything. Should not take very long.
\Fan missions -> one-click downloads.
I do not recall such a collection you described, but since you also sound very enthusiastic, you can do it in like 2 hours max. :)
Definitely a great idea!

A long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, there was a user named KoMaG, who would send out CDs or perhaps DVDs with almost every fan mission on them. Historians think it was about six or seven CDs back at that time.:idea:
Years came and went by, and then there was one day when KoMaG announced he would not continue that service anymore. The internet had been become more than just a reality by that time - it was a broad and glorious data highway, and one could rather easily download the majority of fan missions from the net. Game developers likewise went from putting their software onto a CD/DVD to offer them for download (after the interested player paid the price for that game). And so ended the time of little round plastic discs being sent by postal service, and the great and glorious times of downloading everything on one's own had finally begun.:cheeky:
Unfortunately, the FMs rarely came in bundles or campaigns together, so players had to download them almost one by one. And so it went on to this day, and people don't have to pay for little plastic discs anymore, but have to start lots of downloads instead. Cheaper, but more labour is required.:sweat:
- THE END -

No one has done this yet, AFAIK. I think the main reason is size. All 2024 FMs would (for instance) stack to just under 2 gigs by themselves. Other years with some of the bigger contest entries would be much larger, maybe 2-3 times that. These ain't no Doom wads. Now multiply that times 25 years of Dromeding, and you can see the problem. Of course missions from the early years wouldn't be nearly as big, but still.
At one point, I thought about packaging older FMs by year, which seemed more manageable. Never got around to it though.
Looks like you're going to have to do it the hard way, like everyone else.

if anything they should do collections of thief 1, thief gold, thief 2 to keep it a bit less in size, compared to doing all fan missions at once, also they would have to include the latest updates for each games fan missions

Good stuff, didn't know about all these torrents/downloads, I feel like they should be stickied somewhere for future reference.
Quick FYI on that, even though this archive was made in 2022, Thiefmissions is really only complete thru 2013. There's a few random missions from later years, but it's nowhere near a complete collection (post 2013).

I seed all three of FM torrents listed above.
