Happy Talisman Day! And an update on the Talisman Adventures Roleplaying Game

Happy Talisman Day, adventurers!

Today marks an almost unbelievable (for us, anyway) 43 years since the original Talisman: The Magical Quest Game first graced our tabletops. Since then, the classic board game has been reborn through five separate editions and multiple videogames, most recently Nomad Games’ excellent Talisman: Digital Edition. 

That extraordinary pedigree - not to mention our team’s own love for the game - means we at Cubicle 7 are honoured and excited to be working on the official Talisman Adventures Roleplaying Game. But it also means we take the challenge of creating a Talisman TTRPG extremely seriously, and so we’re deliberately taking our time to get every part of it exactly right. 

We’re working our way from the Outer Region, through the Valley of Fire, towards the Crown of Command, you might say. And we don’t want to have to take any backward steps, or have to tangle with the Grim Reaper! 

Our goal in developing the RPG is to make the rules a natural progression from the board game. We're working hard to make this a great introduction to roleplaying - the perfect next step for Talisman fans looking for more adventures in the Talisman Realms.

The Characters are drawn from the familiar selection we know and love, and their abilities are an extension of those you'll know from the board game. You'll take the role of heroes, questing for the Talisman to avoid the Realms being plunged into an epoch of darkness and despair should it fall into the wrong hands.

This Talisman Day, we’re excited to reveal two incredible illustrations created by our team especially for this game, giving you a glimpse into the Realms as you’ll be exploring them in Talisman Adventures!
