Thanks, Archdruid. Enjoyed the preview of the board!

The Hand of Doom and Battle Royale. I love the chance that everyone can die, I thought the 2nd ed Black Void was bad but this is awesome!

I pre-ordered b4 they put a date up.....what can I say, i'm a patient chap if it saves a few pounds.....I have a game planned for the 27th so i'll start praying it comes promptly......

crimhead said:

I thought that they did not work.

The endings are great!

Hand of Doom is a good replacement for the Horrible black void!

Battle Royal is also nice. It's only a pvp ending again..

The Third ending is the one with the Eagle King and the Eagle...

Hey everybody! The Highland is available in FFG's online store now! There's usually a news article that alerts us when they add it, but I went into the online shop just to check and it was there! Already placed an order! Can't wait!

Is anyone able to put a screenshot up of the three new endings, please? I'm impatient!

Thanks

Burst has just did it. Look at the link on his post.

Burst made some screens and put them into the post on the first page but they are accessible only from posting quote page. I wish he won't be mad at me, if I'll put normal links to them:

Aha! They're not showing up for me in Firefox. But IE shows a broken picture link so I was able to navigate through that. Any chance of the Eagle ending please?

Ignore that! I see you were posting while I was! Cheers.

Nemomon said:

Thank you very munc

I'm watching, and watching the Trinkets, and I'm wondering, if Object from previous expansions in the FAQ will acquire Trintet status. I see, Elixiers now are considered as Objects that don't take much space. Then finally we would be able to drink them at any moment without needing to take them (so ditching another Object card).

Nemomon said:

Are you carrying those around? For us, it's they are usually quaffed right away.

As to the pictures, Rogue is looking nice (and not just talking about the pic ), maybe finally the City and Enchantress-fear is exorcised, at least for her. I could see her spamming City quite a bit.

Sprite, YES! Str 1, that's what I'm talking about. That makes total sense (not being sarcastic either).

Dam said:

Depends, but still You need to carry it, before You will be able to drink it, so if You have 4 Objects, You need to drop one, take Elixir and drink it, and the turn ends when You have 3 Objects.

Archdruid said:

That;s exactly the danger that i expect from the Highlands( mountains)

Finally something to get rid of those followers

Looks like the Gladiator won't be travelling that far into the Highlands then. On the other side, very good space if you can get another char there, say, via Black Ice Spell (or even Barrier, OMG, use for Barrier ).

Dam said:

Good notion! - It is nice to see old spells etc. getting more usefull with expansions.

Previously, only good thing about Barrier was that at least you could get rid of it easily, especially if you were a spell-cycler. The very occasional use of blocking access to you or to a particular space have been so rare, they don't almost count really. Why hold on to Barrier when you can cycle and get a more useful spell (since Barrier is among the very worst spells, IMO of course).

I like the relics, to be honest I expected them to be garage, but the dreadwing and the windlord amulet seem pretty cool, and ignoring armor just means more characters dieing, which is always fun. I like the strenght 1 on the sprite, but i'd thought it'd be craft 6, like an oppisite troll. The vampiress seems powerull, but not overpowered like the alchemist can be, but i'll wait to see him preform. I really wanna see the monsters now, just to see how cool they look.

Barrier would be a lot more useful, if it would be cast as required. It is a very sad part of newest Talisman - cast Spells at the start of the turn. Yes, thanks to that some Spells don't need a huge "oracle text" as there is a lot less situations to use them, so less complication, but the spirit of strategy is lost. The best strategy is, when You can cast all Your Spells as required. Also I wonder, what's the other Spell cards are.

Ok Monsters and Spells coming up as soon as I get home...

I think most of us here looks forward for that

burst said:

That would be appreciated

Enemy's first please

Spells first please. Spells can change the direction of the game (Hydra Spell, Marked For Glory, Obliterate, Toadify!). Enemies eventually can kill You
