Compiled Rules Compendium

By wangka, in Talisman

Apologies if my internet search skills are weak, but I haven't been able to find a compiled rules document for Talisman. Does something exist?

With about a dozen rule booklets and over a dozen types of card backs, it seems it would be perfect for a pdf rules compendium/reference.

Thanks!

That is a very old document which summarizes the rules for the base game.

I think wangka is looking for an updated (or living) rules compendium that includes all the released expansions, which is something that has never been done for Talisman, as far as I know.

But you can find most if not all expansion rules online, but a universal one would be great, but in case he doesn't know, there are 2 official FAQ's though they are a bit old now too.

I do think (but correct me if I'm wrong) that we might see a fully updated and correct rules compendium when all expansions for Talisman are finally released.

This is to save manpower, resources and not deal with a multitude of rules version 1.0 to 14.3 as expansion are released.

The down-side for current player is trying to deal with a dozen leaflets of rule set and some FAQ's.

The up-side is the fact that there is no official rule book encompassing all published work on Talisman from FFG, which may be seen as proof that more expansions are in the works :D .

Cheers.

I know that on Talisman Island ( www.talismanisland.com ) has under the Resources tab an area where you can view and print all of the rules from the base game up to The Woodland Expansion. As of today (18 February 2015) he as listed The Deep Realms but has not uploaded rules for that expansion yet.

FFG site also has all rules for download under the support section:

Just like Talismanisland, Deep Realms rules are still not available for download. Maybe it's time to add them?

Thanks everyone. The Warlock is correct, I was hoping for a consolidated rules compendium.

Talisman just seemed like an ideal candidate for such a treatment.

All the rules in a large leather bound tome (Talisman symbol embossed on cover) with brass hinges and hasp would be nice.

Coating of dust and cobwebs optional

:)

My bad. I mis-read the file on BGG and thought it was much more recent, which I in turn interpreted as containing all the rules. I've actually been thinking about writing my own compendium - I have to have some reason to practice my calligraphy - but I'm afraid that even if I started now it would take me weeks before having the time to finish it. And by finishing it I mean typing it. Good Lord, you didn't think I meant all finished did you, that would take months or maybe even years!

haha I think we have a similar love for all things Talisman 80sVamp! :D I really want a compiled rules book with full FAQ and optional house rules etc. Would pay money for a proper bound book thinking about it :D
