Some of you may have noticed that way back in my War In Heaven expansion some of my Magic Objects had the new keyword Instrument. I didn't explain what that was for at the time, but now their moment as come!
In the
Bardic Inspiration
expansion, you'll acquire a new type of card known as Bardic Auras. These are magical songs that you can perform to gain persistent bonus. However, you can only perform one new Bardic Aura per turn and you may only perform one Bardic Aura at a time, plus one for each
Instrument
you have. At the start of your turn, you can stop any or all of your performances and begin one new one. Any Bardic Aura that you are not currently performing counts as a Spell for all purposes, so if you stop a Bardic Aura while you're at your Spell Limit, you'll have to discard something. In general, Bardic Auras are particularly good for characters with decent Craft but few ways to reliable gain Spells.
Along with the Bardic Auras themselves, this set also includes new Adventure Cards for the main deck and all the Corner Regions, a new Warlock Quest and Quest Reward, 4 new Characters, 2 new Spells, a new Ending, and a handful of other cards.
It's essentially been complete since the end of June, but I finally had time to give it another pass to correct some errors. So I should have send it off to Talisman Island soon. In the meantime, here's some previews:
