Breaking News! Talisman RPG is hitting the streets!

The eagerly awaited actual print copies of Talisman Adventures RPG have finally arrived with publisher Pegasus Spiele, and should be winging their way to buyers and suppliers. Designer Ian Lemke has shared these pictures of his copies of the standard and limited editions. There had been some speculation about the difference between editions - it seems the limited has a plush faux-leather cover and metallic corner-protectors. Also, glad to see confirmed that the world map and the cardboard Fate tokens come separate from the books.

Pegasus have also updated their free handout download on Drivethru RPG, which now includes an all-new Character Creation Supplement. The supplement provides for random details for Ancestry and Class (including height and weight, both omitted from the core rules, but Frequently Requested). Now you can find that your Sprite is 80cm tall, weighs 15kg, is 223 years old, cherishes a Badly Carved Tusk and believes that "Truth told does pain unfold". Neat!

Toads & Diamonds is also included, an entertaining romp for 2nd - 3rd level characters, now updated for the current iteration of the rules. Still does not contain a map for the caves - an admittedly entirely unnecessary extra feature I may needlessly remedy in the near future (for much as I applaud playing without maps, they are fun to draw).
