Description
Welcome to the town of Zimnan, a small border town in Orrowar. Zimnan is a dangerous city : thieves and thugs abound at every turn. You're the latest addition to their ranks. The Zimnan thieves' guild has hired your unique skills. Rumour on the 'street' suggests the hiring came from high up in whatever organisation backs the guild. Someone has a special interest in you. In Thief!, you play the role of a thief, completing 'jobs' for your reputation and for the gold involved. The structure of the jobs is freeform, you can kill, sneak, talk or con your way through - you don't have to kill a single person. This is far from a hack & slash adventure.
Two pieces of kind of good news : Chapter 1 is finished. However it's still VERY rough around the edges and I want to do some polishing and fiddling with various aspects because I expect a lot of things just don't work at the moment. Additionally I'm on a 56k at the moment and it's a bit large so you probably won't see it til I get back to my better connection at uni. This means October probably although I may get an urge to distribute it before then. The other bit of kind of good news is that I've started work on chapter 2. Whether it'll see the light of day any time soon is anybody's guess.

No, unfortunately the next module isn't done yet. Mainly because I'm very lazy. However I do really hope to have it finished soon (the barebones are pretty much now laid out, I'm doing the penultimate main story quest for it and then it's a matter of going back to do some polishing, adding a bunch of side quests, and then doing a lot of testing). The module picks up with your character having moved to another city as shown at the end of the Prelude, and the rest of the characters from the guild have taken over there. It begins as your character is about to take on the most difficult job of their life. It's slightly more plot oriented than the prelude, and it picks up on some of the hints in the first module (eg. the spy inside the guild, what Tobek was looking for in Harradin's mansion). Of course nothing is resolved but it pushes the story along a bit and hints at even more important future events.

Fun mod. The only complaint I have is...stuff was on the pricey side. I would spend my ill-gotten gold on more equipment for the missions. I sold back most of the stuff I got, but still. It was a great mod, though, had a lot of fun playing it through with my rogue/bard. Question: is the next game in the series out yet? And what is it called? I couldn't find anything that sounded like it in the vault. Thanks. Jen

Hint: Talk with the guild master after doing all quests to end the game.

I love this module. It really put my (5)Rogue (4)Ranger's skills to good use :). Keep up the good work and finish the next part soon :P

Well Done. :) A well made module but you had to leave me hanging DIDN'T YOU. Been waiting for a thieves guild module with proper jobs for a while now.

I have a version of your module with a henchman and some animations, sitting in pubs for NPC's and such petty +blocked+...
