Talisman Adventures Fantasy RPG Playtest Guide now available!

Posted on August 1, 2019 by jon@talismanisland.com in Adventures, Announcements, Gen Con, Pegasus Spiele, Playtest Guide, Reprint, Revised 4th Edition, RPG, Talisman

People lucky enough to be at Gen Con this week will be able to get their hands on the physical version of the new Playtest Guide for Talisman Adventures: Fantasy Roleplaying Game, but for those of us who will have a wait a little longer, you can now pick up the PDF download version via the Pegasus Digital portal on DriveThruRPG!

There’s a link below to the physical version on the Pegasus Spiele webstore too.

As the blurb says:

This Playtest Guide offers the chance to explore the Realm of Talisman as never before. The rulebook contains everything you need to play and run the game up to 3rd level. It has rules for character creation including 6 ancestries (elf, dwarf, human, ghoul, troll, and sprite) and 9 classes (assassin, druid, minstrel, priest, prophet, sorcerer, thief, warrior, and wizard). It also contains the core rules of play, 6 starting characters, and a starting adventure that details some of the more advanced rules for telling stories in the Realm of Talisman. Be a part of the journey and help us forge the path of this new and exciting game!

In other news, Pegasus Spiele have just launched another Facebook page, under the guise of Pegasus Spiele Global, that will be covering news of more international interest, such as the upcoming reprints of the Revised 4th Edition of Talisman and its expansions and much more!

Check out the link below and give them a follow so you don’t miss anything! You can also win a bundle of games, just by following them on Facebook during Gen Con!
