This is a humble fan site dedicated to Talisman: The Magical Quest Game. Designed by Bob Harris and originally released by Games Workshop in 1983, Talisman is now in its Revised 4th Edition and has now been licensed from GW by Pegasus Spiele after a spell with Fantasy Flight Games, with FOUR digital versions available […]

Hello there! It’s been a little while since the last update, but I hope that this one will be a nice one to restart some regular news going forward!
David Fox let me know that the store page at BigBadToyStore for the upcoming Talisman: Harry Potter Edition from The Op had been updated with more images, and the date appears to have now slipped from July to August, though I have seen other listing that quote September, so who knows with the current global shipping issues!
It seems we get to roam through the entire Harry Potter world on the board (which looks a bit more square than usual!), with the Crown of Command being replaced by the Great Hall of Hogwarts.
Only 9 characters this time around, with 1 of them being Voldemort (BOOOO!), so I guess he’s another Reaper-esque NPC in the game. The playing pieces looks rather swish though, so they should be easy enough to add to with homebrews if you should so wish.
The contents also list 2 Ferret cards, so do you perhaps get turned into one? My HP knowledge isn’t too good, so you’ll have to let me know if that’s a thing!?
No doubt I’ll rustle up a ‘look-a-like’ character card in the mean time so stay tuned for that.
In other news, some of you may be aware that I’m going to be coming off most forms of social media apart from Twitter, however the Instagram and Facebook page accounts will be taken over by my Talisman-fan daughter Katie, who will also take over the adminship of the Talisman Boardgame Discussion Group over on Facebook.
Obviously I’ll be keeping abreast of general things through Katie, but I really have to step away for a while and hopefully this means I can get back to posting regular updates via the site, rather than just quick posts on Facebook which don’t reach everyone.
So it’ll be back to the olden days for me of regular email, web searches and Twitter and I won’t be stuck doom-scrolling on my phone all day (and night!)
I’ll announce when the cut off happens, but I hope you will all help Katie with her new found POWER!!!!!

Wow… what a day it’s been! First up was the launch of this year’s Warhammer Skulls promotion from Games Workshop that features a ton of licensed video game content (and more!) and the big news from that was the appearance of Talisman: Digital Edition from Nomad Games on Xbox for the first time. It’s on […]
Apologies for being a little bit late with the big news, but the new update for Talisman: Digital Edition by Nomad Games for the PlayStation 4 is now LIVE!! Now you can experience the expansions and new characters that players on the other platforms have, though sadly cross-play is not a possibility at this time. […]
Well, after a whole month of virtual inactivity I figured it was about time I posted something to the site instead of relying on the feed from the Talisman Island Facebook page to do the job. As you might know, we actually moved house in March and it’s been an eventful couple of months with […]
As mentioned over on the Talisman Island Facebook page this week, Pegasus Spiele have just put a new entry up on their webstore for a German localisation of Talisman: Star Wars Edition from The Op! It’s marked as coming in on the 15th of June, and I wonder if we’ll see any other localisations, perhaps […]
I’m a little late to the party with this news (though I did post about it on the Talisman Island Facebook page!) that Pegasus Spiele have announced that Tim Huckelbery has been hired as their new US Studio Editor and Talisman Brand Manager! Tim has a long pedigree in the gaming industry, having worked for […]

A quick signal boost to mention that during Pegasus Spiele‘s English-language livestreaming from SPIEL.digital tonight there will be a chance to listen to me drone on about my favourite boardgame! Hopefully it will be quite interesting, but you can always come early to check out the live play of the new Talisman Adventures Fantasy RPG […]
Don’t forget tonight’s English language livestreams by Pegasus Spiele from SPIEL.digital which will be starting shortly. Highlight for visitors to Talisman Island will be an interview with Ian Lemke and I suspect they might talk a little about the new Talisman Adventures Fantasy RPG from 21:30 BST! Tomorrow, there’s going to be a little chat […]
Well, there’s certainly a lot of Talisman going on at SPIEL.digital over the next few days, including playthroughs of the new Talisman Adventures Fantasy RPG from Pegasus Spiele by How to Be a Great Game Master and Orkenspalter TV, and Talisman: Star Wars Edition from The Op by BoardGameGeek! Talisman Events at Spiel.digital
