Thief Books?

Recommended Posts

I'm sure this question was raised in TTLG (currently down), but I'll be brief. I'm looking for something to hold me off essentially until college starts. Are there any books that really capture the essence and atmosphere of Thief? Or books with that contain that general material? Is there anything that can be recommended?

A few months ago I read "Ranger's Apprentice: The Ruins of Gorlan" - very Thiefy and good fun book, though aimed at young adult audience (still fun for adults to read, just more simple plot mechanics, vocab, etc). I highly recommend it for Thief fans. :)

 

There are two more books in the series as well, but I haven't read those

 

- here is a link to the book on Amazon (not that I'm saying you should buy it - just look it up at your local library)

As surprising as it sounds, my little sister owns this book (which is probably one of the reasons it was easily dismissed upon a cursory glance)

Ive said this here before but it's worth repeating: Read the works of H.P. Lovecraft. It doesnt have much to do with Thievery but it has a crapload of great ideas for dark, haunted places or horrible monsters. No one can set up a mood of horror like Lovecraft. I've yet to find a modern horror writer that can consistently do what he did. Its not to say that there arent flaws but they pale next to the twisted images that will dance in your head.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
