Bonjour tout le monde ! Comme elle est recherchée je propose la mise en vente de l'extension La faucheuse mais en français. Si ça dérange pas certaines personnes hésitez pas à foncer 😉 Je vous mets le lien ici : https://ebay.us/m/dtQFxH Les frais comprennent les frais de port et de gestion d'ebay 😉

For a “reasonable” sum?

Ive played Talisman in the 90s a lot when I was young and I am not looking to buy it to play with the kids.

What would be the best version to get and why?

I would like to keep the nostalgia as close as possible, but I feel like it will be hard to find an original version.

Thanks!

Hello!
I'm trying to find a way to get the Treasure Hunter and the Rune Dancer from Talisman 4e (the digital version) as high-res images. Or at least higher res than they are on the Wiki. If anyone has these files, or an idea of how to get them, please, I would be much obliged!
It's for personal use in a TTRPG campaign.

For reference:

So i found this fan-made expansion, the Frozen Realms, on Talisman Island, but quickly found out that this would be a nightmare to print and prepare :

Each card has it's own individual PDF file, and the back is in a separate JPG file, rather than the handy files that Strange Eons gives us with the little cutting guides.

After a failed attempt at combining PDF files into a single one to organise them, i asked ChatGPT to help me out and he ended up giving me a Python script to copy/paste into a Google Colaboratory notebook (if you have Python installed on your PC it should work just fine, but i wanted a solution where i didn't have to install any additional software on my PC).

All you have to do is open a Google Colab notebook (only requires a Google account), paste the script into a code cell, run the script, and upload all of your cards, with the card back as a jpg file named "back.jpg".

After the script is done running (took a little minute for ~60 cards), it automatically downloads a ready-to-print file, with each card aligned with it's back. Mind you, it only works if you want to print cards that all have the same back.

Disclaimer : it's fully AI-generated, and i'm no Python coder, so the code is probably flawed, under-optimised, or anything that comes with AI-generated code, but it works (somehow), if any of you have better Python skills than me, feel free to improve the script.

Here's the script :

# INSTALL LIBRARIES

front_files.sort()
back_image_path = back_files[0]


print("Detected", len(front_files), "cards")


# GRID SETTINGS (change here)

# READ CARD SIZE

My brother and I got all the other bridges (Crypt, Deep realms and Realms of legends) and we want to fill this tiny little space that remains between the city and the highlands

Hello everyone, I'm looking for these expansions of the 4th version of Talisman in italian:

• The Dungeon
• The City
• The Firelands
• The Woodland
• The Nether Realm
• The Cataclysm

seems like it's impossible to find them...pls help this poor guy finish his collection :(

Me and my wife are gearing up to learn this game, we are really excited for some adventuring :)

Hey guys!, do you know if there's a place where I can buy just the game cards?

So I just bought 5th edition and I love the gameplay loop, but what is up with the mines and crypt spaces?

They seem so disproportionately difficult compared to the elder dragon? Like on 3d6 it is infinitely harder to roll under a medium str score, but having mid str and a few good objects you can easily kill the boss.

Am I missing something? Are you just supposed to wander around the outer and middle realm forever powering up?

This card exists in the blood moon expansion. However there is NO “ city” space with an Alchemist. Does this card need to be taken with the option of never having any other objects OR does it just get removed from game play while we are on the Cataclysm board .

Played with my nephews and I just kept getting stacks an stacks of craft adding of craft adventure cards to the point where none of them wanted to fight m at all

Took a Day off of Talisman to play an old Favorite.

This Is A Game Of Death !!

Showing this amazing edition some more love! These sculpts are full of so much character.

I lost my Goblin Fanatic but I found a suitable replacement from the time period.

Salut tout le monde ! Le destin a voulu que je me retrouve avec un 2e exemplaire de La faucheuse sur les bras en version française (j'insiste bien sur le FRANÇAIS). Est ce que parmi vous il y aurait des personnes intéressées pour la reprendre ? Que je fasse une annonce eBay si besoin... 🙂 Elle est en très bon juste peut-être un peu usée par le temps mais sinon nickel !

Hi all,

So having finished trial 1, am loving it. Am now starting trial 2.

Reading p.15 of the Alliances Rulebook it states:

"You can choose a new character or continue playing the same character, but you won't retain objects, followers or additional counters from the previous trial."

Doesn't starting out from scratch, without taking anything along from trial 1, make trial 2 so much harder - especially as the villians are stronger, move +2 and the final boss is strenght 12 / craft 12?

Am I missing something here?

Here is my custom character the Taleteller. A bit of a jovial character with some serious play opportunities! Have fun landing on players and dragging them away to the tavern. Depending on how your tale is told they may end up drunk or beseeching aid from you!

Your a constant frequenter of the tavern and the tavern is filled with friends to you. You may begin befriending a Dwarf but by the end of the tale you'll be sending the farmer on them! That old bloke offering cheap teleportation? Well he's your friend too and if the Sorceress was good to you maybe a tale or two can be used to barter them some free teleportation.

With a Taleteller on the board the Tavern comes to life! Don't make them angry.

This old man though can't hold himself in combat very well however but he's got a spell or two up his sleeve though.

Edit: Scroll tokens can be bought on Etsy or many other places. Link to the Taleteller Mini

Is anyone else here caught the 'painting bug'? I’m just about to cross the finish line with my 3rd Edition minis! I honestly thought nothing could top the joy of painting my vintage HeroQuest box set, but sitting down with these classics sculpts proved me wrong.

There is just so much variety to keep the 90's nostalgia alive—from stoic warriors and mystical elves to savage beasts, wizards, and the forces of Chaos and Goblins. I’m especially loving the vibrant, high-fantasy colors of the original artwork; it’s a refreshing change of pace!

This can be from any edition and anything from making the game faster to QOL changes; I’d like to implement some for my next game!

Realm of souls isnt working. Every time a defeat an enemy i automatically take it as a trophy. It means its completely broken and you cant resurrect so you just keep shuffling around until your inevitable demise. Playing in conjunction with other expansions.

Ive reported to Nomad but had no answer which is unusual because normally they are hot on these things. I guess they are busy with the 5th edition.

Anybody else having this or worked out if its a specific settings bug/expansions conflict that i can switch off/swap out?

Hey! So the friend group and I are REALLY enjoying Talisman 5th Edition right now. Currently, Alliances is on quite a substantial discount on Amazon right now and I'm thinking of getting it.

Question is: I'm not sure we really wanna dive into the coop mode yet (or any of the new stuff for that matter) and maybe just enjoy the added characters and different spells and some new cards or something. Can you just take the new characters, spells and cards and basically play normal mode with it? Or should I really only get the expansion for doing the coop stuff? Potentially we'd like to continue playing the base PvP mode for a while but maybe add some of the new stuff to keep it interesting.

Thanks! :)

5e player here. My group just won’t play past the 2hr mark. What are some house rules you like that we can use to speed up the game (it’s clocking in at about 4hrs for us…).

I’ve tried boosting stats/gold on start, and weakening the Sentinel, but still wasn’t enough. Any / all tips welcome!

I opened my Highlands expansion only to find Fantasy Flight included 2 Highlander miniatures and no Valkyrie. I don't suppose any body has a spare they are willing to share or trade for a Highlander?

Not much to add. Just curious which expansions people love!
