You guys like creativity, interesting architecture and unique gameplay? Then NICKED is your man and was our guest this time. We mainly talked about his outstanding puzzle mission “Malazar’s Inscrutable Tower” – the inspirations, techniques and gameplay tweaks he added and also his work in general considering “Sturmdrang Peak”, “The Falling of the Leaves” or “The Violent End of Duncan Malveine”. It was a pleasure. We’re sorry that the audio/connection quality isn’t as great as we want it to be..but in lockdown times the internet seems to be a bit stressed out. Hope you can still enjoy it.

CONTEST TIME! We share our thoughts and opinions about the Thief 2 – 20th Anniversary Contest and discuss all the missions that were released for that contest. It was a very interesting discussion and it’s the longest episode so far. We are aware that maybe some of our opinions might seem a bit unfair, but please taffers, listen to our explanations. We appreciate every entry of the contest but a contest has to have ratings and individual opinions. Please share your thoughts about the contest with us here!

Does this man really need an introduction? We don’t think so. If you are one of the few lost souls that don’t know who STEPHEN RUSSELL is, it’s even more important to get to know him in our newest episode where Stephen – the Voice himself answered our questions about his outstanding work on Thief (Garrett, Karras, Benny, etc.) and his huge portfolio in the games industry. It was a pleasure to talk to you Stephen. Thank you for being so kind to give us some of your time and your very interesting answers.
This time I was supported by our community member BRETHREN who actually made all of this possible and also joined this episode in person (even if you weren't able to take part until the end :( ). Thank you for that Mike! It was great to plan, settle, and produce this very special episode with you! Please enjoy this you taffers!

Do you taffers have time? Maybe around 3 hours? Because PUKEY BRUNSTER had and was so nice to spend it with us to talk about her first released FM: MORBID CURIOSITY. Thank you Punkey Broomster :P to share this discussion and giving us so many interesting infos about that outstanding fanmission. Please enjoy Taffers 😊
(we did have some technical issues while recording so a lot had to be cut (no worries, it wasn’t any content just us saying “hello? Can you hear me? Ah okay I reconnect”) so don’t feel irritated if it sometimes feels a bit cut together, I tried my best)
SPOILERALERT: if you didn't play "Godbreaker" we advice you to do before listening - you've been warned ;)
Back in 2020 and even with an amazing guest. Random_Taffer was so kind to gift us some of his time to talk about his outstanding FM-series "GODBREAKER". We had interesting point of views, opinions and discussions. Thank you Random_Taffer for being part of this and we might see you around another time ;)
Enjoy listening!

Finally! This time we not only talk about Calendra’s Legacy – this episode is more about its creator: PURAH who joined us. Not only that he is such a great personality, he also told us interesting details about the creation of this FM and what impact it had on his life. Hope you taffers enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed talking to Purah a.k.a. Anthony Huso. So thanks again for joining us and all the best with all the great stuff you’re creating.
Since Psych0sis was hit by a pagan flew he sadly couldn’t join us but the builder shall bless him!

We talk about "Seven Sisters" by Lady Rowena. Besides that we mostly try to concentrate on Lady Rs legacy and try to put her art into perspective with an passed away artist that she is until today!
We are talking about the first missions of the different THIEF games and what they did to the player, how effective they were to teach you of the game mechanics. That was the idea, and we tried to stay on that path ;)
This is a teaser/placeholder, so you get the idea what we are aiming for. Enjoy it! the quality in future episodes will be way better :)
