Maybe I didn't outguess real name of the latest The Sacred Poll expansion but some of the ideas hits the bull's eye! Regading the concept of The Sacred Poll it is almost sure that the next expansion would be a City... I can not wait for the future!

Vampire lord is almost similar to Vampire Prince but less dangerous i think.

Dice of Death dragon tower card has become a board space in the inner region)

--------------------------

I have delete the holy lance from the list. That was a mistake. It should be the holy crusade. But i find out that it was not a official card?..

We have also already a red dragon from the vartrax deck.

The new blood Moon expansion has the Doomsword object from talisman third edition.

Well it seems possible that most of these cards may see print in the 4th edition through a remaining expansion set.

There are two corner board expansions, which most people think will be the City and the Forest.

Who thinks the next official expansion will be one of these corners? Or do you think it will be a different corner or a big variation on a previous edition's corner.

For example, maybe rather than "Forest", its Deep Forest and has spaces such as swamp land, ancient cemetery, Elf Kingdom, etc.

But there will probably be a smaller set in between either of these two corners. What kind of set might we get?

Sacred Realm opened up some ideas about alignment and other aspects. But some small sets highlight non player characters or provide alternate endings and new end-bosses.

I would like other expansion sets to continue to explore new ideas or aspects of building character. Maybe a space or place for learning or gaining skills and also have other types of encounters; a Monastery for the good/clerical type characters; a magickal school for those type characters; guilds for learning good or naughty skills (theft, as a concept? Craftmanship as a concept?).

I would love the idea of Secret Passages that connect some of the boards or spaces thereof. New cards, like a getting lost in the Dungeon, missing a turn and winding up in the Lost City of the Highlands. Key's that are found in various decks and can only be used for specific "doors" (with or without missing a turn if the distance is way-long). A key that will open a passage from the Castle to the Dungeon's Library. A special object that can take you from the Graveyard to the Treasure Chamber in the Dungeon. (still have to fight that guy there!).

I don't know what kind of spaces will show up in the new boards. Wasn't there another castle in the City, or place where some kingly presence was felt (2nd edition). So a key that opens a passage from a City Castle or Court, to the Middle region's castle. Maybe there are encounter cards in the city, like "The Sewer", that will "sweep" you away to a space in the Dungeon ("any tunnel space").

Will there be Guilds? There was a space for some Guild in the 2nd edition. Maybe certain Guildships give you keys or objects or qualities/abilities that can enhance or build on the prior. A Dragon fighting guild, with the reward being things like an evade dragon breath spell or shield, or a trinket or charm that can enhance a dragon scale (give an extra point or handicap an enemy?)

I hope that the next corner will be a necropolis branching out from the graveyard!, although the deep forest seems neat as well. I've read lots of talk about the city and personally I hope that it's an ocean or something other then the city. I didn't have much use for the city back in 2nd edition. Although the way FFG has revamped and added things, I can see a city expansion being interesting. Either way I will be happy when my board has 4 corners

Froman said:

I too will be so happy with more boards. I am this *feeling* that maybe the final boards WILL INDEED wrap the entire board - so…

extra space and spaces. I like the idea of some other type of cemetery. "Ancient cemetery" (Necropolis) would be cool. Since this would be on a new board, which tends to have its' own cards (Dark Forest indeed!), I think the space could have an either or situation: Either roll a die with same/enhanced results as the regular Graveyard space, *or* you have to draw cards from the Dark Forest Deck.

or both! ?

I hope that due to quite well selling of Talisman FFG will expand the whole series. I think the whole set could be:

00 TALISMAN
01 REPAER – small exp with NPC and Quests
02 DUNGEON – big box with a mid to late-game Region
03 FROSTMARCH – small exp with new Quests and first Alt Endings
04 HIGHLAND – big box with an early and mid-game Region
05 SACRED POOL – small exp with Quest Rewards play up on alignment
06 DRAGON – big box with a new Inner Region
07 BLOOD MOON – small exp with NPC play up on Day/Night changes
08 CITY - big box with an early and mid-game Region
09 SMALL BOX – play up on gold and fate changes from dark to light side
10 ISLAND/SEA – big box with a mid to late-game Region started from Storm River near Village with new mechanics (like Timescape)

11 SMALL BOX – play up on characters includes master level characters

12 BIG BOX – includes new cards to all Talisman expansions and interact them

The next big box set will be The Forest. After that who knows!

Is it a official information?
I believe the next big box is on the concept stage at this time and only game designers can know it… Maybe some playtesters know something about the next small box but I think we have to wait till summer GenCon at the latest.

Croonos said:

It's an educated assumption.

For the 3rd edition the four corner boards were the Dungeon, Highlands, City and Forest. The Forest is the only one of those left, so I think it's a good bet that it will be the next big box expansion.

EvilEdwin said:

Ok but FFG sometimes likes to surprise like with the Dragon exp after 2nd corner. Third almost the same region board mechanics (excluding the City which is little different) would be a boring… I belive they preper something curious.

I tend to agree that the final corner board expansion will be Woodlands/Forest. However, I am curious about Croonos idea about Fate/Dark and Light.

Here's another thought: Once the main board is 'quartered' there will still be room for 2 mini-boards in the center of the long sides. 1 between the City and the Dungeon and 1 between the Woodlands and the Highlands.

These could be "Other Realms" One could be a demonic realm and the other one; not so much!

As far as the use of Dark and Light fate, well I am waiting for smarter people to figure that out, but here again is how I see it:

You have 3 alignments; Good, Evil and Neutral

But you have no quality that specifically addresses "Chaos and Order". The use of Fate tokens for the rerolls is an example of Luck (Chaos?) stepping in. So how does "order" step in? I am pondering a use of dark and light fate, where some card is used as a talley for players. Whenever fate is used for some purpose, the token is placed on the card under a designated side of dark or light. The idea is another use of fate constitutes the other side of the Fate token. When X amount of either side has been collected than perhaps a threshold is reached and some consequence is observed:

Examples: If the 'dark' side thresholds, the player doing so must draw a spell and play it upon himself if possible { or, depending on what the final token was used for, the player must draw a card for that region of play, or another Dragon card because that was re-rolled through Fate, etc.}

the questions are to decide what usages of fate constitute dark or light actions? If you base it on evil and good, you leave out neutral. Is that okay, or should it be more about random vs non-random, chaos vs order?

0beron said:

The only thing we know is that the idea about Light and dark fate is used to bring more interaction between the players.

So if you are visiting the enchantress, then your opponent can decide that you must re-roll the die by spending a dark fate token.

I guess I don't see the point. Why would it make a difference which side the token is? If the playing of a dark, or light has some other significance I would understand, but from I sit

I don't see why it would make a difference; everyone gets fate tokens, all fate tokens have two sides.

Unless the use of light or dark, is being tracked, for some reason, to initiate a consequence for playing it/them, than I would get it, but right now

The rules could say play a light token to stop the re-roll. So what? Maybe there is something basic I'm not getting. It would make more sense to have a definitive reason to play a light or dark token, and to track or record this so that the consequence initiates.

Its like how you need to have 3 scales to crown a new Dragon Lord. * if you use Fate for a specific reason, (dark/light sides) than there should be a reason and/or consequence.
