Looks pretty cool to me too. I have no problem that Eagle King is not a big eagle.

I hope that  there are some adventure cards for the mainboard. ( inlcuding Harpies

Looking at the Harpy card, this one is for the mountains

Velhart said:

I think there will be some adventure cards similar to the amount in the Dungeon - adventure cards that relate to the mountain.

Mr. Brogger said:

If we look to the Dungeon expansion, there are 2 trapdoors for the mainboard, so maybe that the Mountain expansion offers 2 Harpies for the mainboard..

But the differences are that the harpies for mountains is keyworded as a monster, while the Harpies from the third edition for the mainboard are a event.

so i hope that they will be a event then.. for the mainboard..

You can easily defeat a craft 4 enemy..

Velhart said:

But 2nd edition Harpy = R4th Harpy.

Dam said:

Ah oke

That makes sense.

Anyway, if FFG will add some Harpy's for the mainboard, and they have not the mechanic from third edition, then i can alsways use a house rule..

They will likely not be a event then.. This are the sort of things that i miss in this edition..(just sending the character to a draw 3 space in the mountains)

Velhart said:

I agree, the harpies will be more interesting as event. Especialy if there are very few cards for the main board. It will be boring just to have some more monsters added to the rest. Unles they have some kind of moutain related effect.

Well, Harpies aren't Trap Door, they "only" you to Crags (where I assume the Mountain board access will be).

Mr. Brogger said:

Indeed.

Anyway, there's still the question if FFG will include some Harpy's for the mainboard. If they are not included, then i can forget this idea, unless i use homebrew cards. But i don;t like that

Dam said:

well,.. in third edition, the Harpies and the trapdoor have the same mechanic.

With the Harpies, you must roll with 2 dice under your strength, if you fail to roll, then they pick you up, and drops you in the Lost City in the mountains

Dam said:

Okey, I see. That is just fine with me as long as they are mountain related - and they are a bit even they aren't realy dangerous.

They are not so meaningfull to me that I will homebrew them. I do not like homebrew so munv either... only Toad King

Mr. Brogger said:

With a craft 4, they are not dangerous..

On top of that, the Crags is also not dangerous...

I am getting a bit tired of talking how weak the events are in 4th  revised edition..

 The third edition Harpies and trapdoors have probably copyright on it. That would explain, why they are not the same.. 

PS: I don't like homebrew neither except if i can use original text from older editions..

Well this looks just dandy! And my birthday is in March

I noticed a brief mention of what a Dark Elf might be. It all depends on what story they are taken from.

In Tolkien they were the heroic good guys that stayed behind after evil took over the world in the first age (or was it second?). In any case...good guys.

It looks good in any case, maybe I can talk the wife into a game tonight!

Mr. Brogger said:

I agree most of the Talisman miniatures have been great.  I just hope this expansion gets the scale right.  The Frostmarch miniatures are way to small.

The cover art for each expansion has had a large image of the main protaginist in the centre. Reaper, Lord of Darkness & Ice Queen. So the large eagle is the eagle king. IMO.

Hopefully as a highland expansion you will be able to find some haggis, or use a set of magical bagpipes to scare away enemies with terrible wailing. Possibly a loch on the lower levels that will reveal a monster on the roll of a 1? The blurb did mention a magical river that could be hiding some kind of beastie.
