What is

Talisman is a fantasy themed boardgame where each player controls a character and tries to strengthen him till he can survive to get to the center of the board and then take the Crown of Command. The characters move about the board, fight monsters, cast spells, and a acumulate magic objects, numerous allies and countless riches to improve their chances. But you probably already knew this.

What is

You probably also know there's more than a few pages out there devoted to this little game and most of them have some great cards and a few showcase some nice boards. In these pages you'll see a lot of new characters and cards of all kinds but I usually group them by theme. It all started with the Conjurer who I reworked so that he actually conjures things and wasn't unbeatable when he became the High Mage. His old ability became the Duplication spell and his new ability, ah, duplicated by a Conjuration spell. And then I thought would it be nice to have a Follower hold a spell for you, do something about the overly powerful Wand of Magic, and in the end I really just wanted a better Conjurer and ended up with four Adventurer cards, three Characters, and two Spells, all either new or (for game purposes) improved.

All my sets are under 30 cards. I could toss everything together and just call it a 200 card set but each separate page here is devoted to a single idea. If you don't like a particular set, don't use it, but I can almost guarentee if you like Talisman the odds are pretty good there's something here you will enjoy. One little note - each page has this little image on it:

I include all card art, front and back, in zip format. Just print, glue/tape, and play. And most importantly..

...tell me what you think.

And now...Stuff!
