The Awakening Expansion

By Drakkkan, in Talisman Home Brews

The Awakening is my first custom Expansion to Talisman.

At first, let me thanks to J.C. Hendee, he helped me with lots of corrections, gave me lots of inspirative ideas and provided me with really good feedback. Thanks !


Mysterious Keepers are roaming trough country, and new dangerous Creatures are attacking adventurers. Welcome back to the magical realm of Talisman. Awakening expansion for Talisman: The Magical Quest Game features new treasures, events, monsters and Adventure quests.


53 Adventure Cards
4 Spell Cards
2 Relic Cards
2 Treasure Cards

The Awakening Symbol

All of the cards in this expansion are marked with a whirl symbol, so that you can differentiate them from the cards from the base game.

Adventure and Spell Cards

The new Adventure and Spell Cards work exactly like those in the base game, and include additional Events, Enemies, Strangers, Objects, Followers, Spells and Places.

Trasures and Relics

If you do not have any other expansions, Treasures and Relics could be obtained only from completing particular Adventure
Cards. If you have Dungeon or Highland expansion, shuffle it in corresponding deck.


Setup
When playing with Awakening Expansion, just shuffle the new Advneture and Spell cards into their respective decks. Using all these cards is optional, you could discard whatever card(s) you or your party do not like.

It's now up on the Expansions page at Talisman Island.

I converted the png files to jpg to save a bit of load, but the quality should be just fine.

Nice work!

Good work, Drakkan.

It really looks great.

thanks a lot all of you

First I must say your work is very good. And the pictures also. But when you named your expasion eawekening_V1 I think they will be some other Versions too. So when I tried to translate it in german I have some ideas and questions:

Timespace Travel
-Teleport to the black Knight istn`t a good idea, because when you are in the inner region, you will be teleport to the black Knight to go once again to the inner region?

Misty Groove
-6) Gain 1 Craft and not 1 Crat

Voodoo Doll
better
"When you encounter another charcter you may dicard the doll and take full..."

Dragon Ring
I found an better photo in the www

Drachenring2.jpg

Lich Orb
"... discard it."
What do you mean by discard it? Discard the Live or the Lich Orb? I don`t understand this card. For what do you have to place the livepoint there?

Bell Tower
To pay gold is not clear. Can I pay the gold after the roll, so I can change the result?
better:
"You may pay 1G or more to ring..."

Pirate Ship
You can`t play this card without your eawaking so have to mark it like this card. In my translation you can take any treasure card. For better atmosphere they often sink the ship after battle
"...sink to the ground and discard it."

The Awakening
better
"...draw 3 Adventure cards and follow the advices." or do you have to place the cards only at the field where they are, without follow the advices on the cards?

Dedly Ambush
2: Battle Beast inseat off Batle Beast
What`s about the Trophy?

Raining Toad
"... you become a toad." better "you become a toad for 3 rounds."

Great Evil
The card number for Enemy-Spirit is 2 and not 1.

Mad Treant
What is the meaning of Treant because I could`t found i the translation.

Hello, thanks a lot for your review ! Really appreciaty any ideas for improvenment, I have update almost all according to your advices. I have also asked Jon to reupload it on Talisman Island as version 2.0. I have also slightly changed texting on some other cards, but more cosmetic changes than something serious.

just some shor quote

Timespace Travel
-Teleport to the black Knight istn`t a good idea, because when you are in the inner region, you will be teleport to the black Knight to go once again to the inner region?

I have made this working only in the same region as you are in case casted on another character. Yes, this could be also used in Inner Region on another character, so it could win your game sometimes.

Mad Treant
What is the meaning of Treant because I could`t found i the translation.

Treant is the same as Treefolk, just in Word of Warcraft. I have changed description to Mad Treefolk, as it is more clear now
