I just finished Shadowcursed!

Recommended Posts

A year or so ago, after having set my mind in acquiring a Kindle to be able to read it,  I set out to finish Shadowcursed, a book based in a campaign here in The Dark Mod by Gelo Fleisher. I read through it over the course of a year or so. Sadly, due to my eyes not being what they used to be and extended reading now causing me headaches, I wasn't able to binge on it like I used to do with books in my youth. Instead, I read it off and on over the course of the time since I got it around the midpoint of the Covid 19 pandemic. Having finally finished it, I can saw it was a truly beautiful story taking inspiration from the original Thief trilogy by Looking Glass Studios! I'm glad I purchased it, and also glad that I finally brought myself to finish it despite the migraine behind my eye as I type this from extended hyperfocus of my vision even with my glasses. It had a thrilling, gripping story and a beautiful ending, and I'm glad I have experienced it now.

Huh, you just reminded me that I actually bough it ages ago and never finished it. I didn't have a Kindle but Calibre does have a decent epub reader so that's what I was using. Apparently I bought it in 2015 so I'm guessing it was either after Requim or A House of Locked Secrets that I bought it, guess I should get around to finishing it too.

@Moonbo We need another mission yo. :)

A word of warning, Agent Denton. This was a simulated experience; real LAMs will not be so forgiving.

Well, with all the crazy crap going on in the world, I figured I should read it, just in case anything happened and I either died or electricity went out for the foreseeable future where I live. Unlikely, but with the wars and tensions these days...

I'm sorry to hear. Somebody should convert this to an audio book.

After finishing both fms I should start reading this.

Unfortunately Moobo retired from mission making. (AFAIK)

I do need to pick up that book, thanks for reminding me. I'd LOVE another Moonbo mission.

I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.

      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)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).

      Well then, it's been about a week since I released my first FM and I must say that I was very pleasantly surprised by its reception. I had expected half as much interest in my short little FM as I received and even less when it came to positive feedback, but I am glad that the aspects of my mission that I put the most heart into were often the most appreciated. It was also delightful to read plenty of honest criticism and helpful feedback, as I've already been given plenty of useful pointers on improving my brushwork, level design, and gameplay difficulty.
      I've gotten back into the groove of chipping away at my reading and game list, as well as the endless FM catalogue here, but I may very well try my hand at the 15th anniversary contest should it materialize. That is assuming my eyes are ready for a few more months of Dark Radiant's bright interface while burning the midnight oil, of course!
