The seminar i went to covered some new expansions for WHFRP and Talisman and the WH40KRPG.  They said the new talisman is based on the 2nd edition rules of the game and has only minor tweaks.  The art and miniatures are all new for the game.

I guess they had 50 boxes a day that they could sell and were selling out of all of them each day, so very popular!

I should have bought one but oh well.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/184057/184108.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/184057/184108.page GMT RE: Talisman's back GW taking advantage of.

So GW is licensing off it's board games for other companies to make?  Probably for the best in this case - Specialist Games is already strained enough.  Is there any chance they might work on some other stuff, like Space Hulk?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/184057/184126.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/184057/184126.page GMT RE: Talisman's back GW did, but fortunately I have loads of plastic bits from 3rd Edition.

Oh, those links go to a "Page cannot be found" message.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/184057/184132.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/184057/184132.page GMT RE: Talisman's back http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/184057/184177.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/184057/184177.page GMT RE: Talisman's back

There seems to have been a recent upsurge in interest about fantasy boardgames which it is good to see GW taking advantage of. I just really, really hope they chose to sell it through their stores, rather than make it Online Only.

There is, of course, a third option -- selling it through hobby stores that normally carry such boardgames.  ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/184057/184195.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/184057/184195.page GMT RE: Talisman's back http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/184057/184272.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/184057/184272.page GMT RE: Talisman's back GW game "Curse of Dracula" and it seems to be a very good seller. Even the newer Curse of Dracula comes with minis.... Its not a huge deal, but its a nice touch.

Fantasy Flight are the alchemists of board games. Just about anything Fantasy Flight touches seems to turn to gold. If it was gold before, then they make it platinum.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/184057/184295.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/184057/184295.page GMT RE: Talisman's back

Fantasy Flight would turn that game into a galactic battle for supremacy of venereal disease.

You mean Talisman isnt that already?

*checks Talisman box lid and contents of box*

Oops. I put the wrong game into the Talisman box.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/184057/184330.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/184057/184330.page GMT RE: Talisman's back

No wonder girls are never around when we play.

Hellfury is just one big taint.

The game is a tribute to the free time that we had once as youth.  By the end of the first hour, you may be still somewhat amused.  But by the time the second hour is up, you are bored and are hoping someone - anyone - beats the Dragon King, (or whoever the main bad dude is).  You pray it doesn't go beyond three hours, but it usually does....

Give me Game of Thrones, Axis & Allies, Fury o' Dracula, or anything else, if I have that much time.  Each of these games are tons more interactive and fun than Talisman.

What's the $ tag on the new game?

Always preferred Warhammer Quest.

Me too... WQ had the problem with "where's-the-T--junction-I-remember-packing-it-the-last-time" syndrome though. It's no fun when you have a dungeon that looks like the corridor of a fiscal office. On the other hand you could really feel dread building up as you approached the final chamber.

Now I'm waiting for "Trolls in the Pantry".]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/184057/184407.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/184057/184407.page GMT RE: Talisman's back Descent, its far better than Warhammer Quest. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/184057/184413.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/184057/184413.page GMT RE: Talisman's back Descent, its far better than Warhammer Quest. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/184057/184414.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/184057/184414.page GMT
