Giving Thanks the FFG way

By 0beron, in Talisman

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

I am giving thanks for Talisman having a life "beyond" the fulfillment of the 4 regions - which I give thanks for too! ;)

But the Deep Realms, like the Nether Realms, proves that out of the box thinking works in the new era.

I await further 'realms' to explore and thanks Jon personally for bringing these expansions out for Talisman fans.

We should make the Island Realms just for him :) .

Happy Thanksgiving! May I pour you a drink?

Wild Turkey.

Enemy

Animal

Strength 1

If you defeat the wild turkey in battle you may replenish all your Lives. Then miss your next turn.

Of course, when I started this topic I forgot that many of my fellow posters are not USAmericans, and don't celebrate Thanksgiving.

I still appreciate the playful, fun sentiments, Thanks

I'd like some sort of cranberry soda, please!

I'm in Sydney Australia we don't celebrate Thanksgiving. But the new Star Wars trailer is screening so I think I'm celebrating Thanksgiving in another way anyway :) .

Norfolk Island

In the Australian external territory of Norfolk Island, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the last Wednesday of November, similar to the pre-World War II American observance on the last Thursday of the month. This means the Norfolk Island observance is the day before or six days after the United States' observance. The holiday was brought to the island by visiting American whaling ships.

Other countries who celebrate Thanksgiving:

Canada

Thanksgiving (French: l'Action de grâce), occurring on the second Monday in October, is an annual Canadian holiday to give thanks at the close of the harvest season. Although the original act of Parliament references God and the holiday is celebrated in churches, the holiday is mostly celebrated in a secular manner. Thanksgiving is a statutory holiday in all provinces in Canada, except for New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. While businesses may remain open in these provinces, the holiday is nonetheless recognized and celebrated regardless of its status.

Grenada

In the West Indian island of Grenada, there is a national holiday known as Thanksgiving Day which is celebrated on October 25. Even though it bears the same name, and is celebrated at roughly the same time as the American and Canadian versions of Thanksgiving, this holiday is unrelated to either of those celebrations. Instead the holiday marks the anniversary of the U.S.-led invasion of the island in 1983, in response to the deposition and execution of Grenadian Prime Minister Maurice Bishop.

Liberia

In the West African country of Liberia, which began in 1820 with the colonization of freed black slaves (Americo-Liberians) from the United States, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the first Thursday of November.

The Netherlands

Many of the Pilgrims who migrated to the Plymouth Plantation had resided in the city of Leiden from 1609–1620, many of whom had recorded their births, marriages and deaths at the Pieterskerk. To commemorate this, a non-denominational Thanksgiving Day service is held each year on the morning of the American Thanksgiving Day in the Pieterskerk, a Gothic church in Leiden, to commemorate the hospitality the Pilgrims received in Leiden on their way to the New World.

Giving thanks is consistent with most religions and spiritual practices. How it is celebrated as a national/regional/etc holiday is interesting. I've long been aware of Canada's Thanksgiving Day/similar, because I believe it always falls on the same day as the USA "Columbus Day", the 2nd, or 3rd Monday of the week. Think its the 2nd.
