Talisman - Magical Quest (Full)

[Baragash]

Our story begins with a mighty wizard, now long dead, who once ruled over the land of Talisman using the power of a magical crown, forged in the Valley of Fire by spirits cruelly enslaved to arcane magic. For many centuries the wizard reigned supreme until, after a long life spent amongst his books and spells, he sensed his days were drawing to an end. He resolved to hide his crown in the most perilous part of the most dangerous region in his realm, setting around it such fearsome guardians as his most powerful spells could command. Once he had done so, he perished, proclaiming with his dying breath that only a champion with the strength, wisdom, and courage to take his crown would rule in his stead.

Hundreds of years have passed, and the realm, long ungoverned and unprotected, has grown ever more dangerous, becoming infested by monsters and troubled by innumerable evils. To this very day, the ancient legend draws gallant heroes to the troubled land - each seeking the Crown of Command and the kingship of the realm of Talisman. So far no one has proven worthy of the challenge. The seekers' bones lie bleached and broken upon the Plain of Peril or else cast idly aside to be gnawed by wild beasts and monsters.

This is a little experimental in that it's a board game that is going to played a little more like a choose-your-own-adventure game - hopefully it will work. So each turn should have two phases: the move phase and the action phase.

In the move phase you will be given the locations you can visit, in the action phase you will be given the options you can choose, there may be a second action phase if there is a further choice involved.

Your character will be randomly selected, but you will get a choice.

1. Silas - Thief
2. sneggy - Monk
3. Durandal - Wizard
4. Drakon - Ghoul
5. Pyro - Troll

I'm going to use a poker system to fudge it from a take-it-in-turns system to an everyone-acts system. What that means is on turn 1, Silas is resolved first, then down the list, turn 2 sneggy is resolved first, then down the list etc. This can be relevant as players could lose gear or be teleported away etc. Note that to avoid bogging the game down in too many waits on minor decisions, if your action is spoiled by unforeseen circumstances due to you being lower down the pecking order that turn, thems the breaks.

Turn

You move D6 (1 in the Inner Region) and choose to either encounter the space or another Player

Battle is determined by D6 + relevant bonuses, highest scorer wins.

You cannot win the game until you find a Talisman as it is needed in the penultimate location.

Stats

Strength - used for fighting, and overcoming challenges
*Each Enemy you kill is kept as a Trophy. For every 7 Strength-worth of Enemy Trophy you trade in you gain 1 Strength
Craft - used for overcoming challenges and psychic combat
*Each Enemy you kill is kept as a Trophy. For every 7 Craft-worth of Enemy Trophy you trade in you gain 1 Craft
Fate - number of re-rolls you have, these will be applied automatically by me unless you specify not to use one for a particular action (which probably means loss of life instead)
Life - duh ;)
Gold - for spending ;)

Objects - there is a carry limit of 4 Objects unless you have a mule which allows another 4.
Spells - anyone can use spells, there is a maximum you can know depending on your Craft (3 = 1, 4 or 5 = 2, 6+ = 3)
Followers - no limit

Sounds low maintenance?

If so, i'll join up.

[sneggy]

Sign me up.

[Durandal]

Oh, boy, Talisman! The game of "You've drawn two Str/Will (or whatever the magic/mind stat is) 7 monsters on the same square! Twice! Two games in a row!".
Sign me up.

[DrakonTheNightLord]

Der Kraken is in.

[PyroSikTh]

I'm in!

[Baragash]

I will PM you your character choices (random 3), you can wait for the special rules when I get home if you can't decide, or if a particular type appeals pick "blind" ;)

[sneggy]

I need not see the stats. Blind faith shall guide me!

[PyroSikTh]

Wait! Can I change my chosen class (of the 3 offered) after I've seen the stats? Thinking about it, the first option I was given might be too tempting to miss out on.

Although I found a page that showed the character cards, the quality was just marginally too low to type the rules from, so yeah those who want more details before deciding can have it later :)

[PyroSikTh]

Well I was only asking because I technically already decided >.>

[Baragash]

I'll send it later anyway as the game isn't quite ready to start until I put all the relevant info up at the top (like stuff you can buy and your characters), I wasn't expecting it to fill up so quickly!

[Silas]

I wasn't expecting it to fill up so quickly!

We trust you to put on a good game, Bara. That's why. ;)

[Baragash]

Waiting for Pyro to confirm his character choice ;)

Don't need to put equipment up yet as it all costs 5 and you only start with 1, so if I get an answer during the day tomorrow then unless I've missed something I can put up the first set of options tomorrow night.

[DrakonTheNightLord]

I defo has the best class in the game.

[Baragash]

I defo has the best class in the game.

Still think so? ;)

[DrakonTheNightLord]

Trolling Pyro is Trolling :\

Encounters that remain in play stay in the location they appeared in, so unless you're unlucky and draw another Wraith (if there's even one in the deck), you'll be fine* ;)

*Or a different kind of "not fine" >.>

And what's your choice this turn?



um left please. still got no idea where I am but why not...

Left will be clockwise if you're at one side of the board and anti-clockwise if you're on the other......?

[DrakonTheNightLord]

2 - Move clockwise to Ruins (in direction of Village) and encounter Craft 5 Wraith, then if successful, Axe

^

[sneggy]

I understand my lefts and rights but have no idea where anything is on the board so its irrelevant that i know where I am going if I dont know where anything is. thats like knowing which way north is on a completely blank map.


I'm guessing thats the point though, just pointing out the irrelevance of having a bearing with no map.

[Baragash]

The locations in the OP are listed in order from an arbitrarily* chosen starting point so you can see how far away you are from the different locations if you are trying to luck into rolling the right number for a specific one.

Right and left mean nothing to me since ~50% of the tiles are up or down in relation to anywhere I choose to sit, and I can't consistently apply the instruction cos I'm not recording where I was sitting each turn.

*not that arbitrarily, it's the fixed crossing point to the Middle Realm so it kinda made sense.

http://frecklefoot.net/Images/reviews/talisman-board.jpg

The Sentinel is the big grey thing at the 1 o'clock position.

[PyroSikTh]

Aaaah! That's going to be so much easier now :D Although I can't figure out where I currently am...

- 6 clockwise towards hills in direction of Tavern
- 2 clockwise towards woods in direction of Tavern
- 3 clockwise towards fields in direction of Village

That would put me...on the field square next to the Tavern square? (my current selected move would put me on the field square on the other side of the Village, on the same side of the board as the Sentinel...Right?)

[Baragash]

Dunno why I didn't think of that before #-o

It's also in the locations section of the first post ;)

[Baragash]

Aaaah! That's going to be so much easier now :D Although I can't figure out where I currently am...

You location is listed in the OP as {Pyro} next to it, so you can count round from the Sentinel to find it.

EDIT: PyroSikTh: you're on the square directly above the Tavern

[PyroSikTh]

My deduction skills were correct \o/

[Durandal]

Keep on keepin' on moving counter-clockwise.

Don't forget: Ghost is a spirit so fights with Craft, not Strength (ie are you sure, unless I'm missing something you'll get pwned in short order, though if you got a 6 and it got a 1 you'd win, and life is easy to come by at the moment if you don't)

Sorry guys, I've been giving this a little thought this week and I'm canning this game. It doesn't translate directly as a board game IMO :( However, I have mostly worked out how to adapt it to a more appropriate format for the internet, and break it down into chunks (ie chapters), so hopefully I will do a re-run in a couple of months :)
