Description

[Edit] [History]

Talisman is a cult classic board game with a fantasy theme. There are 14 characters a player can control, from the heroic Warrior to the powerful Sorcerer. In this perilous adventure, play centers around the journey of these gallant heroes to find and claim the Crown of Command, a magical artifact with the power to destroy all rivals and make the bearer the true ruler of the kingdom. Only with strength, courage, wisdom and a few good dice rolls will players be able to survive the ultimate test and beat their opponents to victory.

0 Dungeon Door adventure cards for using Talisman Dungeon in 4th edition
DungeonDoor.zip
This is 4 'Dungeon Door' Adventure cards I created that you can mix in your Adventure card deck so you can use the [GAMEID=1741] expansion from 2nd edition with 4th edition. If you don't have the expansion, you can download it in the "Tal-is-poor" pack from Talisman Island at http://www.talismanisland.com/downloads.htm The board and all 36 dungeon cards are print-and-play-able. The rules for Talisman Dungeon are available at http://www.talismanisland.com/rules.htm To print (in MS Paint), set all margins to 0.25 and fit the image to the page. It should print out just the right size.

0 Talisman Deck Analyzer
Talisman Deck Analyzer.xls
A simple excel spreadsheet to analyze the distrubtion of cards in your Talisman Decks. Based of the 4th edition set, it should be compatable with little or no changes for previous editions. I found this helpful in adjusting the feel of expansions decks I designed for my home group.
