Talisman The City Expansion

By Velhart, in Talisman

There is another Sneak Peek on Talisman island.

And this time, it's a Clockwork Dragon!

It's also on the Wanted Poster!

Sneak Peek 4 has been posted on the Talisman Island Facebook Site.

It´s a Full Plate Armour from 2th edition.

Take a look here.

The Full Plate Armour is good for CvC fights:)

And it gives a +1 strength too! gran_risa.gif

Not that I'm complaining about all the sneak-peaks, but we do seem to be getting a lot for something that's not gonna be available until AFTER X-MAS !!!!

We should be happy for that Triple "A"gui%C3%B1o.gif

I hope that FFG will give us some more news soon.

I think that the Leprechaun or the Juggler will be very happy with all that new stuff in the city.

If they buy the Battle Axe and the Full Plate Armour, then they have both the same power as a Troll! gran_risa.gif Strength 6 in battle..

Sneak Peek nr 5 has been posted on Talisman Island.

It´s the Six Fates Inn.

You can buy a Water Bottle there toogui%C3%B1o.gif

Probably cross over to the Warlock's Cave.

Then you can get a long ride with the boatman to the Temple as your next movelengua.gif

Aha, and as if by magic it appears. Spooky!!

Interesting card. By that I mean in contrast to 2nd edition Talismans 6 fates INN which was a fixed location on the board as opposed to a place card. I like this way more though as it feeds the theme of the city as being large and dynamic. It also opens options for other INN place cards with different effects and rules. The 6 fates Inn is well named though (referring I think to the fates of the 6 characters competing for the prize).

Not to the six possible outcomes from the die roll then ? gui%C3%B1o.gif

I still think it's errata that it doesn't specify whats happening on a 6 roll. Can't understand how something like that slipped past playtesters…

Errata? If you roll a six, you can go to the Temple as your next move. It is quite straight forward.

It sounds like most spaces in the City are adjacent to the river, so this trip to the Temple from 6 Fates Inn doesn't seem impossible.

I missed the '6' connection to number of players *or* numbers on the die. I thought it referred to Fate as used in the game. Didn't the 2nd edition City space for this Inn also offer a game of gambling too?

Maybe your right. I was thinking much in line with the Carnival adventure card. On 6-rolls you cross the stormriver as you where using a raft, and found this quite impossible while in the City..

Aye, Also a good call. It gets ever more interesting.

Aside from eagerly anticipating The City expansion, as we all are, I do have one particular hope/concern. As anyone who has visited the 2nd and 3rd edition Cities will have noticed, there is a strange lack of lady-folk. 2nd edition City has the Valkyrie (character), Enchantress (board space), and Dancing Girl (follower). 3rd edition has only the latter two. Even the artwork on the cards is bereft of female figures. Here's hoping 4th edition solves the mystery of the missing women. At least there are going to be some new female characters, but let's see a more diverse populace on the Adventure cards :)

I don't think anyone has mentioned that the fellow in the middle of the box cover is carrying a Mancatcher. Since this item was often used to subdue and control violent prisoners, is it possible he is some sort of City Guard / Jailer / Bailiff?

And, I do agree that the gent in the top hat looks a little too clean to be a ratcatcher, he does resemble Jack Black, Queen Victoria's personal ratcatcher. But I do think the spyglass on his left hip does indeed make him the Spy.

Is it not time for a new update or little sneakpeek soon? *blink blink*

I think a little news roundup and a sneak peek is long overdue. Thanks for reminding me! :)

1000 apologies for the delay, but there are now TWO spoilers available for The City on Talisman Island. One on the main site, and the other on the Facebook fan page!

I hope you like them!

There will be another along at the weekend…
