Talisman : The next Expansion

By magicrealm, in Talisman

This might seem like an odd question...
Now that we have two corner expansions (dungeon and highlands) we can see how the board is shaping up.
But what I noticed is if the next corner pieces come out and are the same size as the exsisting two then there will be gaps between each corner piece along the 'longer' sizes of the board. Rather than perfectly connecting/touching.
Does anyone have any idea if the next two corners will be large enough to make all edges touch such that the board will look like one giant and complete rectangle? Or will there be spaces between the corners?
It's certainly not a deal breaker for me but I am hoping everything connects nicely to give a complete and clean looks.

How was it for previous versions of Talisman? If gaps are left were they used for anything (smaller board add-ons)?

Another Question: Do you think FFG will release more than 4 corners? Could it be that they intent to release many so that we will have a choice of what corners to use in any given play through? I like the idea of but I'm also a bit scared of what this could cost!!

Those where the entry parts to my Dragon and Demons expansions are going to be.

There are also gaps in third edition, so i expect the same, unless FFG decide to close the gaps..

I think that FFG will not release more than 4 corners.

The mainboard+ the 4 corners is the world of Talisman.

Otherwise it grows too big.

The only thing what they could add is the Dragon Tower for in the middle of the board.

But you never know what FFG will do in the future gui%C3%B1o.gif

The Dungeon Expansion - page 2 - Expansion overview

Here it says: "Surrounding the land of Talisman are four great kingdoms known as regions."

I think that says what we can expect for the future expansions beside the small ones.

Also I think all the regions will come in the same size. It do not matter for me having the gabs, they give some room to place cards in. What I think could be cool is something like a plastic cardholder or something that fits into the gabs. Or we could homebrew some art that could be printet out and fill the gabs.

Yeah, there is almost no place anymore to put the cards on the table, if we have the four regions..

So we need the gaps to place our cards on it..... happy.gif

I still wonder what for themes FFG will make in the future.

The Dragon expansion is the only small expansion left, along with a handful of retro cards..

City, forest, dragon tower+ timescape are the big ones..

At least we know that we still need the Light&dark fate expansion happy.gif

I am also hoping for a plastic card holder for on the table and a Box that can hold a lot of cards

I think the boards are designed to fit round the Black Industries eidtion as well which was slightly smaller. I guess they may even match up perfectly on that board.

Yeah oke, but i want official neutral alignment cards.

And we really need more alignment event cards, otherwise it's not so important to visit the mystic anymore.

In third edition, you could become also neutral in the village.. ( if i remember right) i miss that sad.gif

In our games we have a houserule that states a roll of 3 at the mystic reverts your alignment to its starting point. We chose this instead of a Netural result as we like to make it harder for people to het the (Un)Holy beer hat (Holy Grail & Chalice of Shadows)

FFG could not release boards that made a perfect rectangle as there are people that use the original BI board and it would overlap.

I have been looking at making some sort of board extension that would fit with both versions, but it would only be a small one and it would be very limited. I think I might have a go at making some card holder that could fit in the gap... maybe... gran_risa.gif
