I think you're doing quite nicely. The Thieve's World
setting would be excellent for city-based RQIII
adventures.

However to get oneself back into the flow of things I
would recommend starting gently one oneself. Simple
magics, very low-key combats if any etc. A stealth and
recon adventure with a fair bit of social interaction
would probably be best to begin with.

You may wish to consider to read the combat rules
thoroughly and make yourself a cheat-sheet. Don't be
afraid to modify some of the more crazy rules either,
or at the very least, get a hold of the errata sheet
published in RQ Deluxe 1992 edition
