A new adventure for the Talisman Adventures Fantasy Roleplaying Game from the mind of designer Ian Lemke has been put online at DriveThruRPG by Pegasus Spiele today!
Toads and Diamonds is for adventurers who have reached level 2 or 3 in the playtest, and was first featured at Gen Con earlier in the year.
It includes more information about spells and traps in the game, and is available as a FREE download!
We’ve already seen that Talisman Day on the 29th of August will see the release of The Clockwork Kingdom for Talisman: Digital Edition from Nomad Games, and it’s now been confirmed that Talisman: Origins will see TWO pieces of DLC and one of them will even be FREE!!
The next chapter in the book for budding adventurers to risk life and limb will be The Legend of Pandora’s Box and the next ‘character’ update will see the Assassin’s Tale as another set of quests is updated for a new audience from Talisman: Prologue!
Hopefully we’ll be able to see a bit more news about the rest of the content that was teased recently in the release roadmap soon!
Nomad Games, the developers of Talisman: Digital Edition and newer Talisman: Origins, have just announced that August the 29th is to be “Talisman Day” when they’ll be releasing THREE new pieces of content for their games!
The first bit of content announced is the new The Clockwork Kingdom digital-exclusive expansion for Talisman: Digital Edition and the remaining content will be announced soon.
Given the recent release “roadmap” that was shown off recently, it’s not too tricky to figure out what the other two might be, but it’ll be worth keeping an eye on Nomad Games’ social media for more information!
Posting a little late, although I did share it via the Talisman Island Facebook page so I don’t feel too guilty!
This week those industrious gnomes at Nomad Games and Asmodee Digital have released another update for Talisman: Origins which includes a brand new FREE adventure download of A Dwarf’s Tale.
To grab the update, just restart your clients on Steam, iOS or Android and away you go!
The code goblins at Nomad Games and Asmodee Digital must have been very busy of late as they’ve only gone and announced MORE free downloadable content for Talisman: Origins which will be out on Steam, iOS and Android on the 18th of July!
This time it’s the Warrior that gets the spotlight in A Warrior’s Tale, a new adventure inspired by the original quests featured in Talisman Prologue.
Great news for fans of Talisman AND of the Batman Universe as Talisman: Batman Super-Villains Edition from USAopoly (The OP) is now available to purchase!
I don’t have my copy as yet, but can’t wait to get hold of it and have the fantastic miniatures painted up and play through the corridors of Arkham Asylum!
Although I don’t have much news to tell about the game as yet, you can check out the game entry on BoardGameGeek where Papa_Tom has uploaded a host of images for you to see.
Another piece of news is that USAopoly will have the game for sale early next month at Gen Con, so lucky visitors will be able to score a copy there!
Along with the release of Talisman: Origins and The Ancient Beasts expansion for Talisman: Digital Edition, the launch of Games Workshop‘s Skulls for the Skull Throne promotion on Steam has a huge range of discounts on the whole range of Talisman products from Nomad Games!
Talisman: Digital Edition has a massive 75% off and nearly all of its expansions and character packs are also on offer at between 30% to 52% off!
Talisman: The Horus Heresy also has 75% off the base game with all expansions being discounted by either 40% or 50%!
Talisman: Origins has a nice little 10% discount as a launch bonus!
Talisman: Prologue is discounted by a HUGE 80% so it’s well worth picking up to complete the set!
Nomad Games has also been streaming via Twitch (and Steam) as part of the promotion, showing off Talisman: Origins today, and they will be back online at 7pm (BST), so swing by and join them using the link below.
Tomorrow sees the launch of the newest adaptation of your favourite board game with Talisman: Origins coming from Nomad Games and Asmodee Digital on Steam, iOS and Android!
Experience the origins of historic events in the world of Talisman, such as the creation of the Crown of Command, the return of the Rragons, the Ifrit war and the rise of the Guilds.
Not only that, but also rearing its head tomorrow will be The Ancient Beasts expansion for Talisman: Digital Edition which sees the land overrun by terrifying titans.
The Quest for the Crown of Command might just have to take a back seat while you try to survive!
The store pages over on the Pegasus Spiele website have just been updated with entries for all of the upcoming reprints of the Revised 4th Edition of Talisman and its expansions, and they are all listed for September this year.
Well, all except for Das Hochland, Die Feuerlande and Kataklysmus which are listed as August, but they could be typos!
An interesting addition is the translated versions of I Reami Perduti (The Lost Realms), originally produced by Giochi Uniti, which now has a working title of The Realms or Die Königreiche (The Kingdoms… I think).
You’ll have noted that in the Pegasus Spiele 2019 Catalogue, the preview image features the name The Lost Realms but, as we know, these things are subject to change.
What’s great to see are the retail prices listed for the game, with the base game of Talisman at €49.95, “small” expansions at €19.95, “large” expansions at €34.95. Cataclysm is listed at €39.95, but you do get a lot in the box. The Realms expansion is marked at €14.95, which has no miniatures of course!
There’s nothing new to share yet about Talisman: The Card Game – Clash of Heroes or Talisman Adventures – The Fantasy Role Playing Game, but I believe that they are still expected to be released at Gen Con in August. Who knows, maybe we’ll see some advance copies of the Revised 4th Edition of Talisman there too?!
Talisman on the Pegasus Spiele Store
Sometimes, you just sit at home and have a root around the search engines to see if there are any tidbits of news about your favourite board game, which is Talisman, by the way!
Other times, you just have to look in front of your nose. So I did.
Today, I noticed that Pegasus Spiele had a catalogue up on their site, featuring all of the games that they are pushing for 2019, and got very excited when I found a reference to the upcoming licenses game of Talisman – Das Kartenspiel: Clash of Heroes along with a mockup of the box art, provisional contents list and a game overview in German. There was also an entry for Talisman: Legendäre Abenteuer and the previously noted German-language reprint of Talisman: Die Magische Suche, 4. Edition.
Then I got to thinking if there might be an English-language version of the catalogue and… OMG was there!!!
The “US Catalog 2019” not only features a whole section dedicated to the Talisman World that Pegasus Spiele is adding all sorts of great stuff to, but also a few surprises!
Talisman: Legendary Tales, Talisman: The Card Game – Clash of Heroes, Talisman: Adventures – The Fantasy Role Playing Game and a full reprint of the entire back catalogue for the Revised 4th Edition of Talisman, INCLUDING The Nether Realm and The Deep Realms expansions in the new boxed format recently championed by Giochi Uniti in I Reami Perduti or The Lost Realms expansion!!!
I’m not going to be posting any content lists or what have you here, as things are obviously subject to change, but my goodness there’s a lot of stuff happening with Talisman this year, and we’ve also got new content coming for Talisman: Digital Edition from Nomad Games, two licensed versions of Talisman to come from USAopoly, the two new editions of Relic from WizKids and a dice game still to come from Pegasus Spiele!!!
More news when we hear it and when I’ve stocked up on more exclamation marks!!!!
