How about a "extra objects"-pack?

By Draii, in Talisman

I would like to see:

Some more official alignment cards (only four can be to little when playing with many players).
More gold coins (both 1G and higher values)

The coins and character miniatures made me thirsty for more "objects" to symbol things in the game.
How about four "Talismans", perhaps with chains so they could be worn as real necklaces? Would be pretty sweet if the objects that name the game may stand out a bit.

I read about suggestions about a "card-tower" on these forums. Those would be sweet.

I understand that it would be a bit to much to ask for miniatures to represent each creature in the game, but atleast some iconic ones could get 3D-versions? The sentinel bridge? Creatures in the inner region, Crown of command (with pillar), black knight, runes and other things. No game mechanic, but a more "living" game board for those who like it that way.

Small spellbooks (with three plastic folders big enough for the spell cards) for magicians. Fun way to hide the spells and "browse" the spellbook before choosing a spell to cast.

I realize that most of these suggestions are a bit unnecessary. But I thought I at least should throw out the ideas. maybe someone likes them.
And some more alignment cards and gold coins would be nice nevertheless. =)

Hi Draii,

I agree with you on the coins. Actually I have been thinking to create my own coins of three kinds: Bronze to represent 1 gold, Silver to represent 2 gold and finally Gold to represent 3 gold. And they should also differ in size.

About the miniatures, it will indeed be too munc making one of each. And even if you had them, it would take a lot of time finding the rigth miniature each time an enemy is drawn. But it could be cool with the creatures like the Sentinal, Lord Of Darknes, Black Knight etc. I will consider to sculpt miniatures for these some day. But maybe they should be made as small dioramas that fits right on the spaces and having room to leave cards on them as well. That would prevent confusion due to if they where same sizes as characters.

Cheers

I like the concept, particularly the Talisman as a real piece of jewelry.

Hi Draii,

I see you are new here on the forums..

Welcome ! gran_risa.gif

Hi all! And thanks.

Nice to have friendly responses to the first posts at a new forum =)

Glad you liked some of my thoughts.

If there is a small expansion after the Frostmarch (seems to be the pattern so far) I hope they add some extras of cards and coins that need multiple.
Sure, I could do my own, but I'd like to keep it as official as possible =)

The "it will stay here for the rest of the game"-things could have miniatures too =)

I would love to see a card tower particularly as I use the card protectors and it makes for a fun game of Jenga when you use all the adventure cards and the Reaper & Frostmarch expansion.

being a bit of a card protector freak I would like to see card protectors for the character cards.

For character card sleeves you might contact Jon New of TalismanIsland.com for more information. I don't know if they are now generally available, but he did investigate this option. Hopefully FFG may look in this direction in the future, since such sleeves would apply NPC, Endgame, Toad, and other like sized cards.

For alternative "Gold" you might look to some online hobby and game shops. There are plenty of places that sell types and mixes of toy/game coins. I'm sure people have already looked on their own, but here are few starting links.

Actually, I suggested to them (Fantasy Flight) that they make a shoe for the adventure cards and sell it. They could also make them for the spell cards, dungeon cards and highland cards. For those of you who don't know what a blackjack shoe is, it is the holder which holds up to eight decks of cards. They deal out of these at a blackjack table. I am going to purchase one and then see if I can have a local guy make me one for the Talisman sized cards (in sleeves).

I think that one of the larger expansions should come with more gold, more life, strength and craft cones and more dice. Many of us like to play with eight or ten players and it stretches the resources of the game to do this.

Cheers JCHendee. Contacted him and will be ordering some off of him this week.

That would be interesting. A typical shoe thereby holds 416 cards, probably a bit much for anything but an adventure deck, but would certainly be convenient. You might look for topics herein on card boxes found by other players. Some are not just for storage.
