The Dragon Expansion - OUT NOW!

The Dragons have risen over the plains of Talisman. With them we see an introduction of six new endings, six new characters, 2 inner region replacements and 168 new cards.

The Dragon lords - Varthrax, Cadorus, and Grilipus - bring with them some complex mechanics in the form of dragon rages but with the complexity comes strategy and depth. Another mechanic is added to Talisman’s vast arsenal that increases just how dynamic the experience can be.

The rulebook can be found here.

A user guide can be found here thanks to Artaterxes.


In Game UI

• New tutorials for each expansion
  
• The ending in play now has it’s own tab
  
• Tab listings are now under the information panel
  
• Tokens on board are now larger
  
• Gained stat improvements are also displayed by token counters in inventories
  
• Reroll opportunities now glow purple to separate them from normal rolls
  
• There is now a discard and burn pile in the 'more decks' tab
  
• Sudden death counter now accessible through button on the ending tab

Menus

• New inner regions are listed under house rules
  
• Alternate endings now have an enable all/disable all button
  
• Advanced options has been cleaned up

A patch list is near impossible to make due to balancing patches for the Firelands and developing Dragons. Knowing which bugs went live when reported in the threads against which bugs were fixed on the fly against which bugs were fixed through beta reports against which bugs were fixed because we broke the game fixing bugs in the beta but the live version never saw these bugs… insert more excuses here

The key fixes that people should be aware of is that we have found a number of causes that impact completing games (transferring from the victory screen to the XP screen), disconnecting during online play, launching resume games and rejoining. There’s been a lot of individual bug fixes for a lot of really niche issues but the network fixes should benefit all users that play online.

If you have reported or experienced and super specific issues and want to know if it’s been addressed then please ask and I’ll let you know.

TO NOTE: Getting the update will most likely make your old saves outdated due to all of the new code running in the background, so please complete any games you want to finish before getting the update.


As always, we are grateful for all the hours that people choose to give to helping us improve the quality of Talisman: Digital Edition. For this expansion we gave more people access at an earlier stage and some folk really went above and beyond in helping us ensure the highest standards possible.

Thanks especially to Nemomon for your continued hard work and support.

Free Blood and Skulls for everyone this weekend in Talisman!

We’re releasing free Talisman characters today as part of the Games Workshop Skulls for the Skulls Throne promotion on Steam.

Whether it’s for Horus Heresy or Digital Edition you won’t be disappointed, Sanguinius and Ka’Bandha will be added to your warlord list in Horus Heresy and the Witch Doctor will be cursing his way onto the Digital Edition board.

All these characters are freely available to new and existing players as a token of Nomads appreciation to all our Talisman customers.

If you’re into the fantasy version, Talisman: Digital Edition, then the Witch Doctor can curse other characters with his evil eye, has a penchant for magic and great healing abilities. If Talisman: The Horus Heresy is your weakness there’s a whole character pack up for grabs with the formidable Sanguinius, Primarch of the Blood Angels Legion and Ka’Bandha the mightiest of Khornes servants, not to mention seven new encounter data slates and four new alternative game endings.

If you don’t own either of these games you can snap them up at a bargain price with 80% off the base games and up to 60% off expansions this weekend, as part of the Games Workshop Skulls for the Skull Throne Steam promotion.

Not only that we’ve released the next expansion for Talisman: The Horus Heresy - The Shadow Crusade has begun. While the Ultramarines reel from the Traitor surprise attack on Calth, Lorgar and the rest of the Word Bearers strike deep into the realm of Ultramar. Their unlikely allies, Angron and the World Eaters, continue to ravage each new system they come across.

The Shadow Crusade allows the player to explore the events of The Horus Heresy around the Ultramar System in more detail and play as the Warlords and Legions that fought there.

The Expansion has 6 new Warlords for you to play. Each Warlord also comes with their custom Legion Dataslates.

The free Talisman characters and Shadow Crusade are all available on Steam, iOS and Android.
