Hello all.

Looking at some recent comments from R. Borg in this forums, answering hero queries, and one poster gave him the French version Of Fantasy Flight forums as he was asking for the their community's input/info, etc.

Lo and behold, there was the picture of the Dragon box and the inventory and some official blurb, mainly about the Ice Dragon swooping low, and the slow death wreaked by the poisonous gasses of the Forest Dragon.

Is this a super efficient French poster, blowing up the original pic from Gencon, or a released bit of info from FF on their French forum?

Does anyone know if the troll will be included in the creature box. If not perhaps we should start a campaign. The distribution of the Troll Map was never wide, and many did not buy it. If included great-does anyone know?

Thanks David

From the pictures that I have seen, it does not look like the troll is included in the creatures package. I want to know when the release date will be for all of these products.

The news on the Edge site is by Edge themselves as they are the French partner of FFG.

I took a couple of pics at Gen Con of the Battlelore stuff as I am interested in using the minis that come with the sets for bosses in Talisman. The quality of the pics is not great, but they are uploaded at full size, so if you "save target as..", you should be able to make out a little more.

Creatures has the Hydra (awesome mini!), Wood Giant and Earth (Rock?) Elemental.

Dragons has an Ice Drake, Fire Dragon and Wood Wyvern.

No-unfortunately no troll.

But it seems to me that the French site is uploading details about Battlelore quicker than the American site.

Perhaps this is the place to watch in future for early news.

I presume these new boxes will include scenarios or will it be rules on how to use dragons in existing scenarios.

Answered my own question.

Translated the French specs and 4 new adventures are included.

BUT as this pack is shown on Edge then perhaps this signifies that Dragons is definately first out.

Who knows.

Thanks for the product pictures. They are great. I really appreciate getting to see what is coming down the line. I can hardly wait for them to be released.

At the Flight Report, both expansions were said to be out "Winter '09", so I would think they are coming out together.

That is great news! I wonder if they changed the rules for these at all. I've heard that they made a card for a stronger spider in the creatures package. It would be nice if they could include a printed card for the troll in that package too.

Am I right in thinking that the Heroes are going to come out first? And does anyone have an idea when they are to be released? I thought i saw some where that they are coming out in a couple of week. Is that right?

Thanks in advance

According to Rob, the plan is to release Dragons first (but they had no minis @ Gen Con because they had to send the set they had back to the factory--whether this was because of a problem with the minis, or the factory just needed them to start production he wouldn't say). I don't recall everything, but I don't remember seeing anything about a poisonous attack by the forest wyvern, so this may be new info through them (but it could have just been on the back of the box and I can't remember it--however, I know that none of the cards they had, nor the mock-up of the rules booklet, mentioned the wyvern's attack).

Well FFG has posted the card pics on the News site about Dragons...and the 3 types. But it seems that there are 3 levels of dragons - so I guess we'll out how that works.
