Alright, so picture this: A subgroup of the Inventors Guild recently got interested in what lies under the ocean. They make some submarines as transport, and start some underwater domes as study centers. But they realize they will eventually need more funding to keep their research going and subs fueled. So they take to fashioning underwater buildings like in Bioshock, as a form of exotic vacation place for the wealthy and famous. You hide in a submarine's storage to get in, hoping to nab some loot, but when you get there, it seems deserted, with signs of violence. You discover that the city has been invaded by a zombie horde, later discovered to have been originally the crew of an exploring vessel that came back from parts unknown with a sick crewman who started the outbreak. The kicker here is that you have a hard time sneaking here due to the glass walls that allow you to see the reefs and sealife allowing extra visibility, with only shadows from metal support beams serving as cover, along with metal flooring.

It originally began as an idea for a mission, but small talk made it talk a hard left turn into nutter territory.

Another crazy conspiracy believed by a dumbass called "Ghost" from "True Capitalist Radio" was that African Americans aren't from Africa. He believes that the early settlers crossbred natives captured as slaves and Hispanics to create a slave race, and that the government covered it up. No shit, the guy went full retard with his "FAKE AFRICANS!" nonsense, but he also doesn't believe we went to the moon, climate change, and thinks autism can be caused by vaccines.

Yeah, well, people can be swayed to believe almost ANYTHING, no matter how stupid or evil the premise. Back when I followed the idiotic adventures of Christian Weston Chandler and clicked the related link to Pamperchu, I clicked a other related link. This one was for a man named "Deeker". Now apparently, he was a guy considered a "sick fuck" by people on a website devoted to "Adult Baby Diaper Lovers", so you know he went full pedo. The guy wanted to start a cult where older men and younger men both sit around in diapers fucking each other all day, no goddamn joke, while women were reduced to slaves who produced children and worked to enable the disgusting pedo-hedonism as "loyal mommies". The sick bastard was apparently a fan of a children's diaper catalog that had kids in only diapers that sold for 400 fuckin' dollars while the diapers were cheap and shitty. No surprises that it's actually basically a legal front for child porn according to the Encyclopedia Dramatica page on sick-fuck Deeker, because the cops aren't able to bust the pervs.

Remember this idea I had?

There would probably be a nonhuman civilization on the Flat Planet, if someone made the mission. Or maybe it's a magical realm created at the whims of a god like the Maw of Chaos. Probably full of Wood Nymphs.

Please tell me you're joking, stumpy. Although, that would be a good feature in a fantasy flat-earth setting.

Holy shit, I just found out the Flat Earthers got stupider. They believe that since Japan couldn't have invaded in 2 days due to the ice wall and distance, that "Pearl Harbor was an inside job".

Yeah, they're nuts. Still, you can hear about all sorts of weirdos through "related topics" link pages. For example, while I was reading about Chris-Chan, I learned about someone who put his disgusting habits to shame by the name of Pamperchu in a link on Encyclopedia Dramatica. Apparently, the weirdo enjoys stealing used diapers from hospital dumpsters and old folks home dumpsters, and wore them after microwaving them to "sanitize" them. The guy is also, weirdly enough, an expert on old-fashioned technology, despite being a Winnie-the-Pooh overalls wearing furry scat weirdo who lives with a 60 year old asian american "Daddy" partner. The dude ended up getting cancer from wearing nuked dirty diapers.

Also, I'm unsure of how to change thread names. Anyone know how?

So, I could write an entire story here set in The Dark Mod world, and someone might like it enough to make a mission out of it?

First thought of the new thread: reskin the spiders to make a new enemy. Necromancer bone constructs could be a skull with multiple arms attached to it, stretched out over the frame of the existing spiders.

Well, I realize I have lots of ideas of things that could go into missions, but also lack the tools and technical know-how to make my own. So, at demagogue's behest, I decided to make a megathread for ideas that come to me that are ABSOLUTELY FREE for people to use in their fan missions, only thing I'd like is of you said "basic idea by Kurshok". Edit: Changed the name so other people could add their ideas in too.

Also, sure. I'll set up a new thread named just that. Thanks, demagogue!

Yeah, I envisioned a semi-alien magical environment, a sheer wall of ice with edges leading to caves carved from the ice itself by generations of white-furred Ape-Beasts, Yeti-like. Light would be from magic mushrooms, glowing crystals, Fire Elementals/Sprites. There would be streams of water pouring from an unfrozen pond further into the ice wall, which would come out one of the caves and float off into space. For a bunch of crazies, those Flat Earthers have a wild imagination.

The idiots at the Flat Earth Society just gave me an idea. I saw a penguinz0 video where he mocked a video where a Flat Earther said the Earth was flat but surrounded by "ice walls". Well, Flat Earth is utter fantasy, and then I remembered The Dark Mod is fantasy. What about a mission where you are part of a secret mage mission to a nearby world, like that crazy inventor tried to do in Thief 2: The Metal Age, only to find out the world you landed on is not only flat, but you landed on the icy outer edge, a strange and alien realm home to ferocious werebeasts. The goal would be to collect a bunch of samples before igniting a bomb next to a sealed box you need to find, whilst inside of course, to launch back to Bridgeport.

I'd love to play this game on a console one day.

And who else thinks it would make a great idea for a fan mission?

On another thread, demagogue mentioned making a version of SCP Foundation in The Dark Mod. He said that the Inventors Guild would be trying to lock away magical artifacts and creature. I suppose that in a low-fantasy world like The Dark Mod, that would mean creatures and artifacts who are extremely dangerous who not even mages can understand or control. So, what I want to ask, is if anyone else has ideas for any "crossovers" where the events of one game seem to repeat in The Dark Mod? I had one for the first Resident Evil movie in one of my first posts here. The idea was that a group of alchemists was actually a front for a necromancer cult that was creating undead and werebeasts. Another idea I thought would be a good crossover would be Amnesia or Penumbra, as those games already had a similar feel to Thief.

People keep making that joke on penguinz0's YouTube page, jaxa.

Frictional Games has stated in recent Facebook posts that they are working on 2 secret projects. They say they've left hints of what they are in some posts, but I couldn't find them. As the Amnesia and Penumbra games have similar sneaking and controls as the original Thief games and Dark Mod, I feel happy to know they're working on another game. Do any of you have any hopes or guesses for what they might be working on?

Before it just said animal heads on the wiki, which I guess are more plentiful outside of cities.

Okay, I think I can understand that. It's a bit beyond a Thief's abilities to defeat a monstrous undead. But what about simple undead constructs like a severed head impaled on a sharpened stick as a lookout sentry, or severed arms nailed to the walls of a narrow corridor that wave around to damage you if you make noise?

Both of you, Demagogue and NeonsStyle, have good ideas. What about a fan mission based on "Slime" by Joseph Payne Brennan? It was featured in "Alfred Hitchcock's Monster Museum" horror anthology, but more important, Joseph Payne Brennan was born in BRIDGEPORT, Connecticut. May I remind you Bridgeport is the name of the city in The Dark Mod?

Since Necromancers are capable of raising human corpses as zombies or haunts, and may be capable of commanding ghosts, I got to thinking what else they could raise from the dead. Animals might make a good form of guard dog in the case of dog, wolf, and fox corpses. Undead bears could be terrible foes you would need to sneak away from, because they'd have an insane amount of health. Undead squirrels, rats, and birds could make good spies, with the Necromancer using spells to see through their eyes. Undead horses, cows, and deer probably wouldn't be too useful, unless you were using their muscles and viscera as parts for Undead Constructs. Now, when I say Undead Constructs, I mean like the Frankenstein Monster and other beasts stitched together from different corpses. If you can texture and program it, it could be put together by a Necromancer who has enough dead bodies on hand. If there was a plague or battle of some sort, or the Necromancer made a shady deal with a morgue, they could have enough body parts to make something truly terrible. Hell, a butcher dabbling in Necromancy could cobble together an army of Frankenpigs like in Amnesia 2. One idea that went through my mind is a "Human Centipede" like the movie, but made of corpses. A other was a form of aquatic undead made from rotten sea creature globsters, like in Resident Evil. But then I came up with something original after reading a news article from London. What if a Necromancer went into the sewers under Bridgeport, and brought to life what is known as a "Fatberg"? For those who don't know, a Fatberg is when enough rotten feces, toilet paper and, most important of all to the vile mixture, grease clog together into an iceberg like growth in a sewer. Nonliving ones in The Dark Mod would serve as disgusting obstacles you'd need to find a way to break up, dissolve with acid, or get around in sewers, but if a Necromancer is twisted enough, they could attempt to bring that rotten heap of greasy shit to life. Imagine if Nurgle corrupted a Shoggoth, and you'd get what I'm imagining. A slowly moving mass of filth that gurgles horrid roars and patrols sewer tunnels, crushing anyone unfortunate enough to get in the way. So, what is your opinion on these ideas, and what sort of Necromantic Constructs could you imagine being made by those practitioners of necromancy who lurk on the outskirts of Bridgeport and the Empire?
