Dungeon?

By Penagain, in Talisman

I must admit I quite liked the Timescape when it came out, but I was a mad sci fi fan at the time.

Some of the ideas from Timescape weren't too outlandish, though I think as far as technology goes, I'd prefer it if Talisman was limited to steam power at the most....

I'm gald to see Finger of Death Back. demonio.gif

Yeah me too gran_risa.gif

It's one of the cards that i want to draw from the spell deck gran_risa.gif

Sorry for double post)

But i see on the site of FF that the dungeon expansion will not have the realm die. I don't see it stated on the back of the box.

This would mean that you can move as normal...(rolling a D6 die?..

I think the Realm dice were brought in as the 3rd Edition Regions were quite small. As you can see, this one is somewhat larger than those.

That makes it a little easier to walk through the Dungeon. Maybe it is better this way, because it's a long walk.

Otherwise you end up dead into the middle of the dungeon gran_risa.gif And the Goblin King will steal all your booty gran_risa.gif

All that money there, must come from somewhere haha gran_risa.gif

Maybe you become rich too demonio.gif

Has anyone managed to find a high res pic of the Dungeon board?

I have not seen one yet. I wish i could look at a better picture. Then i can see maybe some text from the spaces..

Draw one dungeon card ( one space further..) Draw two dungeon cards... etc gran_risa.gif

Hope the Dungeon will come soon, and it will be followed by other expansions. I wonder if anyone of you guys have heard if the FFG company made any statement about their future plans considering the Talisman and its expansions, as I don't want to bolieve that they are going to make just newer copies of old ideas, at least I would prefer to see something new and fresh like the Reaper expansion. It is 100% new to me as the first time I meet Talisman it was at least 10 years ago and additionally it was Polish release which as I heard was different, slightly from the 2nd or 3rd edition.

The Dungeon board that I remember was more like a spiral not L-shaped. Do you have some comments on that e.g. what we can expect on this board, is it similar to any of the previous dungeons?

Cheers.

I wish, they won't ditto 3rd Edition expansions and will release new ones or at least Timescape. For me, it should be released even before Dungeon or Reaper. I didn't read whole topic but I wonder, if there is something new about Treasure Cards and they aren't Alternative Endings...

I don't agree that Timescape should have been the first expansion. For me it was a bit weird to see guys with the guns in the fantasy times, and the board was ugly. But after giving it a try it was even nice to play it. I think they did good that they presented the Reaper as the first expansion as it showed that they are actually trying to come up with something new, at least I didn't played this expansion before.

It gives me hope that future expansions are going to be fresh with a lot of innovative elements, not just plain copy and past expansions, as it often happens with re-released games.


Cheers.

Ewww, Timescape, I hope FFG never delves into that pile of manure enfadado.gif !

Hi AnChorr,

The only thing what they have said is this:

FFG’s third Talisman expansion alone will feature more “Toadarific” encounters than all of the 2nd Edition expansions combined!

What can we expect in the future for Talisman?

The Reaper expansion is the first expansion and should be available. The expansion after that introduces new characters, cards, and even more surprises. We will be running a special teaser promotion here at Talisman Island so stay tuned for more info.

----------

We already know by now, that the second expansion is the Dungeon expansion. ( so that's the surprise;)

So the third expansion has something to do with more toad encounters. ( i still hope that we get new toad character figures)

I see that the upcoming page has a listing for the Dungeon expansion. Looks like it might arrive in the March-ish range, which I am happy about.

Do we know anything at all about this expansion yet? Particularly I am wondering if it's a big box or small box (Reaper) expansion. For that matter, has anyone confirmed if there will be big and small box expansions for the game, or are we looking at a future replete with Reaper-style releases? I personally like the alternating release style Arkham Horror has been using...

Looks like a pretty big box to me.

Hi Velhart and thank you for the information.

Do you have or is there some RSS feed for only Talisman connected news to which I can subscribe to, as I have noticed on the FFG site only a general news feed, which is no interest to me?

Thanks again for the information it makes me more eager to see what is coming next :)

Cheers.

There is an RSS feed associated with each forum at FFG. I have one at Talisman Island (for my sporadic updates!), BoardGameGeek forums, Occasional Gamer (home of oTalisman) and a couple more have them, like the French Edge Forums .

Here is a closer picture from the dungeon cards. it's a comparison between the Dungeon deck and the main game's Adventure deck .

But look at those nice doors gran_risa.gif Off course, we have seen them already on the back cover

They are begging to draw them gran_risa.gif

Also, if you look over at BoardGameGeek you can see a much larger version of the back of the box. You can make the board out very easily...

Does someone know what the old ability's are from the 5 characters.

I remember that the swashbuckler can get a extra turn if he wins from a enemie or some sorts.

But the others did not appear in the third edition if i am right..

The board looks simply amazing!! I could'nt wish for a better design.Thank you so much FFG!! As for future expansions I just hope Talisman will get the same treatment as Runebound.That it will be infinitly expandable as you can read in the Runebound introduction.It does'nt have to be absolutely remakes of existing 2nd edition expansions(except for the City expansion) but new original content along with classic characters or adventure cards.

If i look to the dungeon board, It looks like that the 7th space on the board is the Vault space, because i see a door there gran_risa.gif

Oops, i drew a trapdoor adventure card, now i am gonna land on the vault space gran_risa.gif

Unlikely, as I can see 2 Vault spaces....

Where do you see the second then?

I see that only the 7th space contains a door. The other spaces don't look like the door from third edition...

Anyway, there can only be one vault space...( if you ask me;)

4th space from the left on the "outer region" is Vault. Another Vault on the "middle region" just past the corner (6th space from the left). There is also a door on the 2nd to last space, but can't see the text on it (doesn't look like the other Vault doors though).

It looks like a bit for a vault space, but for me, the 7th space on the first row is the best vault space, because the space looks exact the same as the third edition, but only with better artwork.

We will see in the future wich space it will contain gran_risa.gif
