Yup, that's right. The City is next up!

Pic from Cary Hazelwood over on Talisman Island.

Looks like there is something in the water…

 so how long til they advertise here, you think?

 Cover looks like "it" comes out of a fountain… in the town square?

I was just looking at Talisman Island and saw the City expansion box.

The cover looks great.

I knew it that this would happen:)

 Enter the Elementals…thought that might be a Phoenix (in place of the old Lotus) but then realised that it would be a fire elemental to go with the water elemental (that looks AWESOME btw). Reckon that might be the High Mage in the top hat, and maybe a Master Thief there too…going back to look now!

Obviousy wanyed to debut it at Gen Con without any rumours getting around beforehand, but we'll hear about it soon & hopefully it'll be my Christmas present!

I think that the guy in the background left of the fountain is the Soldier..from talisman 2th edition..

I can't wait to hear more information about this! So excited!

 I'm glad I looked again. When I saw the guy to the left of the fountain, for some reason I thought it was a Centaur, but it is a soldier, I think you're right.

Looks like 5, maybe 6 characters? I'd been giving some thought how the board will play and I figure there will be an actual City square with some spaces that encompass Temple's, Stores, etc. Then I think the rest of the board will lead us through an extended Cityscape. So you can wander past places like a Witches' Cottage (buy 'potions' or spells?), an Academy or University where you can study or train, an Inn to rest and heal, things like this.

Of course I still would like to see a sewer and bad areas where you're more likely to be pick-pocketed or get into other fights. Bigger rats for the sewers. Maybe if there is some 'space' that is outside the City, they could have a Gypsy Camp (similar to the card from Blood Moon) where you get a fortune (look at Adventure cards, etc.), get cures from spells (Lycanthrope?), gamble, etc.

Hi Oberon,

A Centaur is also possible.

If you look at the character, i see a horse body through the water, where he stands.

But it´s very light, that´s why i have not seen it in the first place.

Ah finally! =)

I also saw a centaur when studying the picture. So my money is on the centaur.

What is the blue woman? in top left corner? Looks like long blue hair and blue clothes. But her dagger has a strange position over her head and might be attached to the tail/rope in front of her. Also strange ear, och a staff or something close to it. Blue-haired dark elf? Scorpion curtisan? Or something completely different (a man with two buttocks). Sorry, Monty Python reference =)

The character in the lower right might have a hat in front of him, Beggar?

EDIT: If the one caught in the fountain is a playable character my guess is goblin or gnome. It looks yellow/brownish and have long pointy feet/shoes.

So…wild guessing….

Beggar
Centaur
Dark Elf
Elementalist
Goblin
High Mage

If i look at the box then i think that we got these characters.

Blue one at the left of the box = Saracen

Right of blue one = Spy

Left of fountain= Centaur

Into the fountain= Witch Doctor

Right front corner= Swordman or Soldier..

Left front box= Ranger?

Yeah, Velhart, I think I saw that, but "second-guessed" myself.

Hmmm. Some interesting thoughts so far.

I've uploaded a couple of larger pics from the image for you to speculate even more!

Ah, that gave some new perspective on most of the characters.

Blue elf thingie is still nothing I know anything about. Mask and dagger… Shadowdancer?

The next character looks like some kind of aristocrat. Fancy clothes and riding whip?

Elemental elf still looks like that.

"Centaur" has a pole for capturing people. So, some kind of jailer or bounty hunter.

Person on fountain still some kind of gnome/goblin tinkerer.

The one at lower right don't have a hat, it's a plate full of potions. So if they are conected to the character, some kind of potionbrewer? Otherwise some kind of thief (dagger).

New guesses

"Cyberpunk"-elf??? Dark elf, shadowdancer elf.
Aristocrat
Elementalist
Jailer
Gnome/Goblin
Potionbrewer

Maybe it´s just me, but the image does not seem larger to me…  That´s weird

Try refresh the page. There are three new pictures added, closeups on the characters.
