A New FAQ?

By drifter22840, in Talisman

I have not seen an FAQ release for the Highlands Expansion or the Sacred Pool. Are there any plans for one?

Have there been any frequently asked questions about those expansions? I don't always follow the Talisman board as closely as some others, but I haven't seen much in the way of confusion or balance concerns regarding those two expansions. If nobody's asking questions, the only reason FFG would have to publish a new FAQ is if they found some errata on their own (which they apparently haven't as yet.)

There is a huge burning issue over what constitiues death of a follower.

There is also the issue of Danse Macabre, and the legality of moving Death into the inner region.

And there are other rules questions which might predate those expansions but haven't been answered, or have been answered but never in an official document, such as the treatment of enemies as followers when followers are lost or stolen.

Death never goes in the inner region.

OFFICIAL answer from FFG.

If you still aren't convinced (this issue keeps popping up) I can maybe post a screen capture of my gmail account with the answer from the game designer.

I don't doubt you in the slightest. I said this needs to be clarified in an official document , which your private email is not. As it stands the only official documents on the matter are:

  1. The FAQ, which ony pertains to teleportation on a roll of 5.
  2. The Reaper rules, which only forbids crossing the Portal Of Power.
  3. The Danse Macabre crad, which for some reason clearly says "any region".

The fact that this keeps popping up only further supports that it belongs in the FAQ.

It would be nice to have an updated FAQ simply to consolidate many of the frequent questions that pop up on here. Personally I'd like some official clarification on movement and which effects stack, which is something that always crops up in my own games.
