Hey Doc,

I haven't played thief much recently and I am probably out of the loop with 
the community as well. But, for myself, I cannot recommend anything that 
Purah worked on HIGH ENOUGH! Anything that he was involved in was top notch! 
Calendra's Cistern for example was awesome. I haven't played the sequel to 
that but I heard it was great. That guy and the teams that he has worked 
with are AWESOME!!!! I seem to remember they actually got a write up in a 
gaming magazine for such high quality work. Anyway, that is my two 
cents....now I'll have to go sneaking about in the shadows to make up for my 
losses.

Take care,

Lord Sin
