Talisman Quick Start Rules

On Free RPG Day, Pegasus released a Quick Start version of the Talisman RPG accompanying an all new adventure by Tim Huckelbery, "Curse of the Rat Queen". Lucky individuals who supported their friendly local RPG store during the event may have gotten their charmed mitts on a copy. Less fortunate individuals (your humble correspondent included) who inhabit the wilds and outer regions need not despair - the booklet is available as a free download on DrivethruRPG. That adds to an already impressive amount of free material available for the game, and I'm hoping that the giveaway and the download help hook in new players for this original and entertaining RPG. 

The adventure is written from the standpoint of introducing new players and GMs to the systems and flow that make Talisman RPG special - in particular, how Tests work in play, and the entertaining outcomes that can proceed. It's a solid introduction to the system - and as a fresh reworking of a familiar fairy tale, ought to provide an entertaining session or two of play for new and old players of the game alike. Definitely gets the Thaumaturgical Workshop Seal of Approval.
