Best Taliman Joke?

By JCHendee, in Talisman

I tried to think of one, but maybe I'm just not funny enough... though I thought something on the lighter side might be fun for a while. So throw one in here if you can think of one... a gag, one liner, anything the actuall fits within the rules, characters, standard play... or make up the most ludicrous character or other card that be choker or giggling twist in a game. But be original and don't just grab something out of books, films, or tv... or other games. Any takers?

Sam did make a Talisman Comic once over at his Talisman Quest site .

I had some ideas for making a comic by using Talisman miniatures as props, but have never got around to it. Maybe I'll give it a go!

As for humour, I do have a quote from an old newsgroup post randomly. I thought it was kind of amusing...

A friend of mine invented a couple of talisman characters one day, one
was the racing car driver, who always rolled 6d6 to move, and the other was
the cat, who was pretty weak but had 9 lives.............

Sorry, but it's all I have for now!

Dude, the cat sounds AWESOME!

HA! The cat... an amusing sillyness. It should probably be limited to only gaining lives; healing as well would make it nearly unkillable... not that anyone would ever try to play it... right? Okay, so someone's going to do it, now that's it's been mentioned. The obvious outcome when mixing too much beer or wine with the game.

The comic strip was a nice touch straight out of the game! If time premits, some more strips using figures would be entertaining. Anything to take a poke at the many confounding quirks that come up in play.
