Hmm, I've uploaded a pic of Warlock from 3rd Edition:

Maybe i am confuse with the 2h edition..
Something reminds me that there is a warlock with a blue hat and a white beard.

Jon said to me, that you can called him the brother of the Warlock
The slow-witted and unlucky brother, then, since the other one has got all the power and the cool items.
Not for long..
If his brother can get the Crown of Command, then The Warlock must obey his own brother
Hmm, too many posts to read through but I am not sure I am happy about the Warlock starting in the Middle region.
Can't think of any other character that can do that. Don't like the character artwork either. Much inferior to the end-game card.
In general seem to be a weak selection of characters. That was the same road the original Talisman went down.
Still, will wait for more details before deciding to buy. Have only played 2 games so far with Base+Reaper+Dungeon
I am 0-2 against my wife...

I have no problem with the characters..
Necromancer, and ogre, where white dwarf characters for third edition ( it's good that they are coming back !
Most people wanted the leprechaun very much.
Only the Warlock is new to the game..( But i like his statistics)
If someone interested...
Necromancer appeard in White Dwarf 177:

I wonder when we see the Leprechaun character card or Ice queen from close up
Nah, for me more important is Rules sheet than Leprechaun or Ice Queen. As You saw, Goodenough included his stupid idea about getting Treasure card instead of Talisman from Warlock Cave. I wonder about the other variants.

Yeah, Rules sheet is also important. I hope it will show up soon on FFG..( but i can also not wait to take a look at the leprechaun or Ice Queen)
I also don't like the idea of getting Treasure cards instead of talisman's.
Luckily, we can decide for ourself if we want to play it that way or not
The warlock's quests seem way too easy for getting treasure. Trading a crappy follower for a clockwork owl? I also think this could undermine the dungeon.
I guess I'll need to see the rules to be sure. Like it or not, as an option I can decide not to play that way. I encourage more optional variants and am glad to see this one included.

Pfft, we do random Treasure (as we do Warlock's Quests), you'd probably just draw Talisman from the Treasure deck 
.

Actually, it's most common treasure cards drawn randomly* from Treasure Deck 
* I'm playing for two homemade rules:
1) One random Treasure card is in Castle for a price 7 gold
2) We can take 2 Warlock Quests instead of 1 at once. If we will complete them, we are getting random Treasure card.

That would see the Treasure deck cut in half in most games around here. There is no real use for Gold, so it's just hoarded.

Not sure, if I understand You correctly, however that Treasure card can be aquired only once.
Ah, you mean once per game, each character can buy a Treasure, not each time they have 7G?
Castle has only one Treasure card. After someone will buy it, the Castle is empty.
I will not use that rule..
Treasure cards belong to the Dungeon only on this moment..
I will not use them for Warlock cards or Castle ideas...( unless it become offical or something, but if i still don't like it, then i don't do it..
I'm playing this rules, because due to them Treasure Cards see more light, usually they see the light only by that Rules (not to many characters are going to Dungeon in meh games). And also that's random Treasures. Our Talisman Treasure card is also giving +2 to S and C (next homemade rule).
its nice to get another small expansion pack, but i expected a sceond mapboard exapansion at the end of this year. if only one mapboard expansion will be released per year, it will take until 2012 to have the 3 missing corners. thats too long.

It seems that there are 2 expansions in a year...
FFG must take his time to make those awesome boards and expansions.
If they are too hasty, then maybe that the artwork will suck, and everything will be a mess up..
At this moment, i look forward to the Frostmarch expansion, and that;s good enough 
Slightly OT, but something I just noticed today (yeah, I'm slow as today was the 8th game with Dungeon) and hope that FFG fix in Frostmarch. Dungeon expansion's Adventure and Spell cards are bigger than those that came in base + Reaper (base = Upgrade pack for me). The Spell cards don't stick out that much, maybe because there are more of them, but the Adventure cards stick out like crazy. At least to my OCD they do. You can clearly feel the difference when holding the deck (Dungeon cards are longer, width seems the same) and you can see them by the naked eye as well.

****, I hated that when I had the 2nd Edition all those years ago, and bought the Adventure pack and Dungeon. I can't remember which, but one of the expansion packs had adventure cards that had a lighter green back than the pack in the base set. You could always see straight away if you were going to get one of the new cards or original. Kind of spoilt it for me. I have the Reaper pack for the 4th, but haven't bought the Dungeon one. This is a little off-putting.
Forgot to mention regarding the character cards, they are also a visibly darker shade of red than base + Reaper ones. Not a huge deal, but annoying.
I don't want to check that..
I hate it if i know wich card i will draw from wich expansion etc..

You must have been hell for your parents around Christmas time....
About the card size thing, I will never re-read it again. I don't want to know, I don't want to know, I don't want to know.
