Hello all,


It’s the one that you have all been waiting for - the fourth corner board is here!

For the first time in countless ages, the mystic Woodland has returned to the mortal realm. Among the towering trees and along the twisting trails, wealth and power beyond comprehension can be found. But there are dangers as well. King Oberon and Queen Titania, ageless beings of fate and magic, will not brook invasion of their realm so lightly. Players will pick sides in the struggle between the monarchs of the fae, or choose their own path of destiny.

The rulebook can be found here.


Between Harbinger patches, a free new app on iOS, Asmodee accounts, Deep Realms beta and release and now the Woodland there have been a host of bugs and fixes that have come up and disappeared from the various places that Talisman is in production. As a result, it’s been difficult to separate any list of fixes into live, beta and QA bugs. During the beta we kept a comprehensive list of all changes which were generally split into the above categories and that can be found here.

To highlight a few specific fixes - we have recently found some bugs with our networking code that have the potentially to be critical in improving our online stability. We hope that the community will feel the benefit from these fixes. If you are continuing to have any stability issues then please let us know.


The Woodland was originally intended for July but due to behind the scenes engine/platform things that have gone on we have brought the release forward. We believe that the Woodland is in a very healthy state at the moment and is in good condition to be released but due to the earlier than intended release we are prepping a post-release patch already. We hope that this will be for all of the minor bugs that are found from the weirdest of weird item/character/spell/spaces combos that are possible but if any more serious issues do occur then please report them as we are following the feedback closely and are ready to react.


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 sjgf, Neil, Nemomon and talismanisland for your continued hard work and support.

It’s the return of the Skulls event hosted by Games Workshop!

This weekend will see the release of a myriad of free content across a number of GW license holders so games like Talisman, Talisman: The Horus Heresy, Warhammer: Vermintide 2, Total War: Warhammer and much more will see updates today that will enrich their games at no cost to their users.

As many of you will know we’ve been working on the Deep Realms and Woodland with the first being scheduled to release… well, around about now. Well, now. Deep Realms is out now! As part of the Skulls for the Skull Throne event, Deep Realms will be the very first expansion released by Nomad Games that is FREE for all users.

The Deep Realms expansion for Talisman: The Magical Quest Game features two new Realms to explore: the Wraith Lord’s Domain and the Rat Queen’s Lair. Adventurers may brave the rickety bridge in an attempt to cross between the game boards found in The City and The Dungeon expansions. Heroes can also choose to delve deep into the crypt of the Wraith Lord or the nest of the Rat Queen.

Along with the free release of Deep Realms you can also catch the base game at 75% off and all expansions at up to 50% off whilst the Skulls event lasts.

Not only that, we’re also giving away Rogal Dorn and Samus, two new characters, for Talisman: The Horus Heresy! Traverse the galaxy under the banner of the immortal Perpetual or the Lupercal and help change the Tides of Wars by defeating unworthy enemies as two new Warlords. As of today Rogal Dorn and Samus will be available for FREE to all T:HH users.

Similarly to T:DE, Talisman: The Horus Heresy sees 75% off it’s base and up to 40% off all expansions whilst the Skulls event lasts.

Deep Realms, Rogal Dorn and Samus are available for free on Steam, iOS and Android.

NOTE: Deep Realms requires the City and the Dungeon to be in play to activate it.

To find out more about the event visit the Skulls for the Skull Throne page.


We'll also be giving away one Season Pass a day for either T:DE or T:THH over on our Twitch channel to lucky followers who enter the giveaway code live on stream.

Hey all,

We have a new character for you to get your hands on!

The Woodsman emerges from the trees carrying his trusty axe. Through years of work and toil he has become incredibly proficient in art of felling trees. He now travels the land of Talisman ready to combat all in his way as he seeks the fabled Crown of Command.

The Woodsman is available for general purchase and will also be included in the Talisman Season Pass.

We'll be using him in our Woodland game tonight over on Twitch.

Hey all,

We'll slow down with announcements regarding streaming so we don't flood the news and make you miss any development announcements but it's worth highlighting the changes that have happening/are happening to our current stream set up.

Going forward we will now stream every Tuesday and every Thursday at 8pm (UK) over on Twitch and YouTube.

Tuesday streams will be an open slot for games within the genre that we think will be fun to play and could be of interest to the Talisman audience. This Tuesday we will be playing Warhammer: Vermintide 2 and the following Tuesday we will be playing Blood Bowl 2.



Thursdays will be for Nomad Games content, primarily Talisman. With the Woodland going into beta last week chances are the next few Thursdays are going to be online games of the beta. So, if you would like to see what the new content looks like then come and say hello.

We also give out free stuff on our Twitch channel so if you want a chance to grab some Talisman expansions, Fighting Fantasy Legends or a Vermintide 2 key, then check the stream out and we'll explain how the giveaways work.

Along with the above, we are looking to do more streams of physical games due to our successful Gameblast 18 stream. If you would like a chance to influence what games gets played then head over here and vote on what should come next.

I think that's it for now.

Yeah.

We'll see you tomorrow evening!
