Introduction to this blog

Hi, and welcome to my Thief Blog. As you might have guessed by now, this blog is for fans of the video game Thief (The Dark Project, PC, 1998), and its sequels. Down below on the right side I have some external links you may enjoy. Even after the original Thief game came out roughly 10 years ago (since this post was made, 2008) the fan following has stayed strong and is still enjoyed to this day by many thief fans. The most notable activity in terms of modern thief players is enjoying thief fan missions; or simply put, "FMs." These FMs pave the way for re-playability. Since Thief 1(and its rereleased thief gold, as well as its successors, thief 2 and 3) many FMs have been built by loyal fans using (the now defunct) Looking Glass Studios' DromEd editor. In addition, a near commercial level quality pack of FMs called Thief 2X: Shadows of the Metal Age (released 2005)created a new character and story within the Thief 2 Dark Engine made by a group of dedicated thief fans since thief 2's release in 2000. Despite its shortcomings, DromEd has been a rather easy to learn editor (okay, maybe not, especially if you aren't technically minded but for some people it's not so hard) and has allowed thief fans to create new experiences for thief, Thief 2X being a huge example. To us thief fans, it will always have a place in our heart, no matter how old it becomes! Thanks for reading, and if you want to learn more about these games (I am assuming with this post that there could be people who never heard of thief or are not familiar with FMs or how popular it still is) please check out the external links.
