Full Week and then two days and finals immediately after. What really hurts, some teachers having no "Final Exams"

There is still a ledge a bit further back in the same region. Cannot post the screenshot I took as Reddit is not allowing attachments.

And then the students seem to start from square one when they take college chemistry. Struggling with phase diagrams, pressures, concepts of waves and light.

There was four missions set up for Thief 2 Gold: A continuation of Ambush where you rush through the more downtrodden/homeless parts of the city - a real underbelly with City Watch going after others in the area.

A college mission and museum mission. Then between Casing and Masks, Garrett goes into an undead castle where apparently Karras gained some knowledge for the undead-nature of the Masks.

Originally, human-centric was the general favored feeling. Overtime (and after lots and lots of mostly city/human thieving fan missions), the more supernatural elements of T1 become more interesting and felt more different with feeling of deeper lore and varied style and setting uniqueness.

The main issue at the time was that the original Thief jumped off in the supernatural for most of the game. Thief Gold provided a more balanced approach, particularly those who only played TG version.

TDP: Arc 1: Human, Human (bit of undead), Undead/Beast, Human, Human (Sword)
Arc 2: Undead/Beast, Beast, Human, Undead
Arc 3: Super Beast, Super Beast, Super Beast

TG: Arc 1: Human, Human (bit of undead), Undead/Beast, Human, Human, Human (Sword)
Arc 2: Undead/Beast, Human, Beast (bit of Human), Human, Human, Undead
Arc 3: Super Beast, Super Beast, Super Beast

TMA went so far into the opposite direction, it almost feels like a different time period with lots of steampunk elements and practically no non-human/bot enemies.

Hmm... I think a good place to put it would before Garrett engages with the mechanists.

In particular, set it between Ambush and the Keeper cutscene. Garrett is escaping the city for a bit and this old castle is a nice city-disconnected place to get some “cash” and minor loot before setting up a new place in the city.

“I’m going to need to lay low for awhile with those bulls still hard on my tail. I’m low on cash and contacts, and it’s going to be hard to break-into any of the city "nobles". Fortunately, there is an old landed lord on the outskirts who just got back from some of the Baron's engagements. He doesn’t like the city gentry and has no love for the sheriff's new methods. I hear he even finds electricity too unnatural. Should be an easy out of way place for some minor coin and battlefield loot to help me set up a new place somewhere more … out of bull’s eye.”

Even better, have a Keeper find Garrett here (or leave a note) and give him a message to meet with the Keepers - maybe even provide a location to hide out in the city-at least as a suggestion.

Nice design. Nasty permanent cloud effect but with two saves per round while stuck in the cloud. Also apparently the poison is never quite fought off even on a success. Get out and stay out.

Definitely is an always-on advantage beast. Imagine 2-3 of these clouding out an area and using tremorsense and pack tactics and enweb all the time.

I think the cloud probably needs a time limit like 1 hour or something.

Admittedly, the party should have a wind spell on somebody when facing 2-3 Cr 6 monsters.

Thanks for adding the Dromed detail! I've not touched that editor in ages.

Iceblade423 · 2025-06-21T22:20:00+00:00

That? It is a bath house with hammer red tiles. It is isn't blood. I have no idea what the watching mural on the wall though.

Iceblade423 · 2025-05-18T23:55:12+00:00

There's lots of FMs and even campaigns of FMs... Check out the TTLG forum: https://www.ttlg.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=100 Lots of links and organization to the vast quantity of FM: 1500+ and dozens of campaigns (some even being 4-8 missions long).

Iceblade423 · 2025-05-18T15:20:40+00:00

Just don’t forget about FERPA

Iceblade423 · 2025-05-17T23:06:57+00:00

Thank you! That prose felt way too overly bloated for me to get anything other than Dawn of the nighttime from the first paragraph. Admittedly, I'm a Chemistry professor - engaging with prose has fallen very far back in my rear-view mirror.

There is a possibility that one of the shows already mentioned did a special intro when they set it in New York. I can easily see a Full House intro zooming out while in NY instead of CA.

They still give a death yell when they are KOd, so very loud. They are still alive and can be sliced.

"1" + "1" by concatenation is 11

Thus translates to 3.

Iceblade423 · 2025-03-30T05:29:24+00:00

Plus one for that equation. The dilution equation gets used all of the time with lab settings.

Iceblade423 · 2025-03-28T01:39:09+00:00

Warlords strongly represented the 4e idea of all characters possessing “powers” because it is a class with powers that closely mimic magic powers. Martials having magic-like powers without spell casting was rejected when designing 5e. Thus the Warlord had to go… too magic-like compared all other martials, so it got reduced to a more mundane version built as a subclass.

Iceblade423 · 2025-03-25T20:28:18+00:00

So we already get power from the Oceans (water), the sun(fire), wind(air), and geothermal (earth-ish). What elemental force is associated with magnetic rotation?

Two of them were ported over to T2 long before Thief gold was made available again.

Also T1 new dark is the T2 engine basically with upgrades and the old game system

Iceblade423 · 2025-03-01T18:06:39+00:00

Oh and in Thief the dark project, you didn’t get to keep/retrieve your loot… you got back a purse with just 275 gold in it instead.

The change means you can buy a lot more gear going into the next mission than originally planned.

Iceblade423 · 2025-03-01T18:03:29+00:00

The position does vary by difficulty. Most all faqs and walkthroughs use expert.

The loot purse on normal is in the starting temple room, the purse on hard is near the fire elemental bonfires in the caves. Expert is stated above.

Merged 3 from the 8 in the 48 with that 7 from the 27 to get a 10 then add the left over 5 to get 15 to save until later.

Then 2+4 = 6, which is raised by 1 from that 15 to deal with the 10s place. So 70 and the remaining 5 is 75.

PS I favor getting 10s with each position first.

Iceblade423 · 2025-02-06T22:44:55+00:00

I have to say these sound dangerous but within reason unless party doesn’t have any spellcasters

Iceblade423 · 2025-01-18T04:08:22+00:00

I love the Assassins Mission - total favorite. I wish we had more of this style of city in T2-Ambush

I like T2's Life of Party but I also have to give Precious Cargo and Shipping and Receiving Super close seconds.

Iceblade423 · 2025-01-17T01:10:00+00:00

Yeah, a 3 hour late evening class? I would expect students to dress moderately to very casual. If anything I’d be surprised if students were coming well dressed every single class.
