Ever wondered if the City Shop spaces maybe should do more, or sell more stuff? Here's my idea for it.

In the City adventure deck there will be 11 new Events. Each event puts a specific terrain card over one of the shops, upgrading it.

I've made one set so far. I think it will add replayability and some excitement to the City.

Some terrain cards are meant for one specific space on the board, hence introduction of the bound symbol.

If a terrain card has this symbol just below the name, followed by the name of a space, it can only be put on that space.

If an effect would place bound terrain card anywhere else on the board, put that terrain card on its bound space instead.

Sounds like a great idea, the cards look great btw :-)

Coming from a previous World of Warcraft life I could think of all kinds of things you could do with things like the city! Ie; Tailors where you could by craft-users robes etc that would enhance you magically or spell-wise somehow. Enchanters shops were you could enchant weapons and armor giving the items bonuses. Maybe even a place where you could pick up followers or buy mercenaries for hire! An endless list!

This looks like a great idea. Have you also considered upgrades for the village, tavern etc along these lines. Some really good ideas you have shown us all recently. Submit your cv to games workshop so they don't end up ruining our beloved game

Do these Terrain cards go in the usual Terrain deck? I ask because I am greatly amused by thought of drawing them from another event/omen and covering up a random Hills space with an upgraded City shop.

Yes they go to the terrain deck. I'm aware of this potential strange interaction and I'll have it solved soon.

Solution: some terrain cards are meant for one specific space on the board, hence introduction of the bound symbol.

If a terrain card has this symbol just below the name, followed by the name of a space, it can only be put on that space.

If an effect would place bound terrain card anywhere else on the board, put that terrain card on its bound space instead.

I think this will cover it.

Nice. New items look great. Love the Mage Robes :-)

Just wondering if the Antimagic Disc should be a touch more expensive though, maybe 4-6G? As it's pretty powerful!

Still a relative newcomer to the game, I just got Harbringer, Cataclysm and Firelands in the last month or two to complete the expansion set. So now finally familliar with 'terrain' cards I think these really are an excellent idea.

Im impressed how you've managed to do the card design and find spot-on artwork too, especially the Armoury ones ;-)

Have you also considered upgrades for the village, tavern etc along these lines.

No, because with cataclysm those spaces have all the variety they need.

You're correct, I forgot to add You can't cast spells line.

Ah yes, that makes sense :-)

Steed is a new keyword that works like weapon/armour, but for followers. In other words, a character can use only one steed in battle. Original Warhorse will need to have to keyword added too.

Shops were the easy part.

I'm open for ideas how to upgrade

- rogues' guild

- wharf

- menagerie

- soothsayer

- sorcerer

- apothecary

- academy

- high temple

Love the idea of the steeds, much more interesting element and Looks great :-)

Very World Of Warcraft inspired choices too! Only suggestion of, is that perhaps the Raptor and Lion being the most fierce/powerful of the animals (except griffin) should be even more combat orientated over the Cavalry Horse and Wolf - maybe higher in strength (3) or an ability like 'roll 2 dice in combat and pick highest one' etc?

A good alternative name for the Cavalry Horse (though I think that's fine) if you wanted something less wordy could be 'Charger'.

Oh and not 100% sure but I think Griffon is most commonly spelt Griffin (though in Wow I'm sure it was spelt Gryphon so maybe its open to artistic licence!) ;-)

Thought of some ideas for the Guild, Wharf..etc etc, but just at work at the moment, will try post later ;-)

Charger is a great suggestion for the Cavalry Horse. I've also (not so) secretly hated the title Riding Horse...

Yeah Riding Horse not a great title! In fact I've recently been thinking about some cool alternatives to just having the one riding horse that could be added to the Stables deck. A variety of riding horse types with slightly differing abilities - should try and knock some up Bludgeon-style ;-)

I've always favoured the amazingly tricky replacement title... Horse.

Oh, while I remember, there was a set of new mounts posted a while ago by JC Hendee, but they may have gone now. I'll see if I can find them...

Neat ideas for the City shops, and nice looking cards.

Here's an idea for the Academy:

You may trade in a combination of gold and strength and craft trophies. Gain 1 strength or craft for every 5 gold and/or trophy points traded in.

Another idea for the Wharf:

Ferry Service:

-Pay 1 gold to move to any space in the Outer or Middle regions.

-Instead of a normal move, you may pay 1 gold to move to this space from the Tavern, Temple, Village, Castle, Chapel, Graveyard, or Warlock's Cave.

-Pay 1 gold to move to any space in the Outer or Middle regions.

-Instead of a normal move, you may pay 1 gold to move to this space from the Tavern, Temple, Village, Castle, Chapel, Graveyard, or Warlock's Cave.

Intriguing, but would you then have to change the text on those corner spaces?

And why limit it to only the corner spaces...if you can go to any space, why not from?

Very World Of Warcraft inspired choices too!

Raptor is inspired by dino riders

Dire Lion by He-Man (idea) and D&D (name)

Griffon i took from talisman itself (it lost a fight with the pegasus, mostly because if I didn't have a griffon terrain picture wouldn't make sense)

Only suggestion of, is that perhaps the Raptor and Lion being the most fierce/powerful of the animals (except griffin) should be even more combat orientated over the Cavalry Horse and Wolf

maybe higher in strength (3) or an ability like 'roll 2 dice in combat and pick highest one' etc?

Sorcerer

Trade in spells for craft rather than just Gold maybe - 3 for 1 craft upgrade?

That's problematic on 2 levels.

1) Steps on toes of the academy

2) Potentially broken

Buy/aquire things other than spells - 'Sorcerers Apprentice' Follower for example.

While I like the idea in general, making new decks means making new card backs, and I don't have skill to do that in satisfactory manner.

Now, if the new deck was not a purchase deck but something else, I should find something suitable.

Also, I don't want City to turn into a giant store. Variety is good so lets have 4 card shops and then other stuff too.

Alter it totally to some kind of Enchanter's shop

There already is an Enchanter's Shop - magic emporium.

]quote]Apothecary

Can't think of much for this. Maybe just things to buy such as special healing kits etc?I was thinking simple but random healing in addition to buying potions. I can of course also make some crazy potions too.

Soothsayer

Be able to look at top cards of Adventure deck for a price, or do something with them in advance to your favour?

I think I have something more interesting.

Something to do with boats - A permanent version of a Raft that you could buy or have on tap!

So teleport anytime in outer or middle region for 1 gold (or more)? That sounds too good, even if the price is steep. Compare it to Griffin which I was careful to limit in a serious way but still make it desirable to have.

-Instead of a normal move, you may pay 1 gold to move to this space from the Tavern, Temple, Village, Castle, Chapel, Graveyard, or Warlock's Cave.

That doesn't really work like any other rule in talisman. Maybe pay to drag other players to the wharf instead?

Or pay to have objects or followers ferried from outer and middle region to you, for a price.

I'm not sure this is final design, but how about this:

Tell me what you think about card's effects and the layout. All this text would not fit on a standard terrain card.
