Looking for fan missions similar to T2 7th Crystal

Recommended Posts

Hi fellow taffers,

Way back, when I have a lot more time to play, I played a hundreds of hours of T1 and T2 fan missions. Being little bit nostalgic, I decided to install TDM and try some of its missions. However, having not enough time, I was wondering if anyone could suggest missions with a strong emphasis on story and preferably with a twist or two. If you ever played T2 fan missions, I am looking for something similar to Saturnine's 7th Crystal (which is 20 years old now - wow, it was looong time ago).

I found many suggestions concerning best missions, but best does not necessarily means with a strong emphasis on story and twists. So I am asking which of those best missions meets my criteria. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'd say that most mission authors work to add a decent amount of story content

but these are the most story driven missions:

 

Grayman's William Steele series

Moonbo's "Requiem" and "A House of Locked Secrets"

Sotha's Thomas Porter series

Goldwell's Accountant series and Northdale series

Goldchocobo's "No Honor Among Thieves"

 

Team made missions like "Behind Closed Doors" and "The Painter's Wife" have pretty great story content but are more loose with narrative and more exploratory. Likewise Kingsal's Volta series and Melan's Penny Dreadful series have strong story design but it is mostly done through visual storytelling and world-building rather than lots of explicit readables, cut-scenes, or NPC dialog.

That said, there are also  some great single mission stories such as "King of Diamonds", "In Remembrance of Him", "A Night to Remember", "A Score to Settle", "Thief's Remorse", "Snowed Inn", "Langhorne Lodge", "Down by the Riverside", "The Golden Skull", The Hare in the Snare: Part 1"

I haven't done a deep dive into Bienie's "Chronicles of Skullduggery" series but I am inclined to place them into the "exploratory / loose" type of design rather than a more "curated \ linear" design based on the times I've played them.

Aside from those mentioned, and they are some of the best. William Steele is my favouite.  Cold Hursts Eaton is 
a really nice mission and has some original ideas, and a awesome twist at the end. My personal favourite type
of mission are manor houses. The Accountant series is also very good.

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?
