Talisman: The War in Heaven

By Reedstilt, in Talisman Home Brews

The gates of Heaven and **** swing open. Vile demons stalk the world, corrupting mortal souls. Angelic warriors patrol the skies, punishing the wicked. Be wary, saint and sinner, for none shall be spared from judgement.

Just like The Lawless Realm added more Law and Outlaw Enemies to the main Adventure, the purpose of this expansion is to add more Demon enemies. Along side them, there will be a new Enemy type, the Angels. While there are a few existing Enemies that will be repurposed as Demons (the Demon and Lesser Demon, for starters), the only existing card that will become an Angel is the Heavenly Host, so expect a lot more new material on the Angel side of things. There will be new characters, events, objects, followers, and the like as well that fit into this theme as well.

And just to balance things out, I'm adding some Angels to the Harbinger deck:

Since this is my first attempt at Harbinger cards, let me know if you think they're appropriately challenging to deal with .

And, as usual, there's always some little mistake I don't notice on the cards until it's post. The Angel of the Horn should be Encounter #3, not #2. Also, I didn't realize that H-E-Double-Hockeysticks would be censored.

Just call it Heaven and Heck...

Also, don't forget that there are already some Angels in the Sacred Pool :)

I briefly considered making some of those Angels into Enemies, but I'll be keeping them as Events, Strangers, and Followers. Though the Angel or Mercy did throw off my plans to have angels for each of the Seven Heavenly Virtues.

Does anyone have a good version of the Pit Fiend Shirker art available? Or suggestions for alternative art? That's the one that has eluded me so far, and it's keeping me from completely finalizing my Enemies list for this set. I'd rather not have to ditch the Shirker entirely for an alternative if it can be helped.

Also, here are some preview cards. Good and Evil alignments are definitely getting the most attention in this set, for better or worse. Not much here specifically for Neutral characters yet.

The War In Heaven is all finished now and sent off to Jon. As usual, if you want any specific cards, let me know. In the meantime, here's a quick preview of what's coming next:

Since the expansion isn't up on Talisman Island yet, here's a link for anyone who's interested in having it.

ReedStilt,

Do you by chance have the cards as jpeg files also? :)

Would you like jpegs of the sheets or of the individual cards? If individual cards, is there a resolution you'd prefer? Either way, I should be able to get those to you within 24 hours. If not, it'll have to wait until after the weekend.

Here's a link to the individual card images. Unfortunately, I was mostly done with exporting them all when I realized I was turning them into .png files instead of jpegs like you had asked for. Hopefully those will work as well. On the bright side, I did find a few mistakes that I kept gloss over. Jan's Rooster is no longer an Event, for example; it's a Follower like it should be now.

png jpeg its all the same :) Thanks alot Reedstilt.

I'm thinking of getting some cards printed up like Bludgeon has from his friend in Poland, I'm pretty certain he needs the actual cards as image files as opposed to sheets.

Thanks again :)

He printed out the Lost Realms and Realms Untraveled expansions for me, both of which are one sheets on TalismanIsland - but the format is slightly different and for all I know, he has those individual cards handy already.

Just in case though, if you want any of my other sets that are current sheets as individual cards, feel free to ask.

Thanks for the info...so he does it from one sheets hey...hmmmmm.....EXCELLENT :)

It's at least possible that he does. You might want to check with him just to be sure.
