I'm not positive but I am sure I remember reading this at some point in the last couple years. Honestly though i could be wrong, it just seems very familiar. And since there are so many expansions out already and there is no lvl 2 characters, I don't think they will implement it, it would be too much work to balance. It was a neat mechanic in 2nd edition, but was very unbalanced. Currently in 4th the imbalance is pretty low i find. Although, I'm sure if they did implement it it would work well, LOL, as I find I am enjoying pretty much everything that FFG has done to Talisman!

I have a real hard time beliving we are gonna get a Barmaid as a playable character.

My guess for the gal with the tray of "drinks" is some kind of poisonmaker.

I think that it is a Jailer or Slaver too now…

I think early in september.

Not really related particularly, but this caught my eye today.

A "Water Weird" from CenterStage Minis.

Looks somewhat familiar…

That´s a nice miniature Jon.

He looks a bit like the endboss in the oot series:)

I think that this water elemental will appear as a enemy in the city deck, just like the other talisman editions:)

I think it would be more interesting if a Wishing Well were part of the Cityscape.  It involves spending gold by throwing it down the well, with either good or bad results…..maybe if you pay too little, or undertip the barmaid ;-), the well reacts negatively, whereas if you please the little gnome spirit in the well, you get a spell or whatever.  Kinda like taking a chance with the Enchantress, but more dangerous/productive.  

My guesses for the characters:  Witch Hunter, Martial Artist, Spy, Barmaid (!),  Illusionist, Gnome.  OK, I made the last 3 up.  :)

Ok, here's a wild guess. I think the "gnome" in the fountain might be some kind of engineer. It looks like he have some sort of googles on his head. If you play for instance World of warcraft, engineers often displays some sort of googles ;)

And before everyone screams thats to hightech, Talisman are already there with some enemys that are classified as constructs. Perhaps he will have some ability that is linked with "constructs" and the City-expansion will feature more enemy constructs than the expansions up to now.

 I personally wouldn't mind some 'tech' without overt modern-ish resonance, but I 'm willing to concede that we should not have a new "Timescape". A semi-steampunk kind of character or stranger, enemy, etc could work. But don't make them a displace Time Traveler either. Even medieval cities must have had some sort of 'planners' or doers, men who could run things, figure things, invent things. But the character should be very unique, in the sense of 'just this one'.

So an Engineer?

I think it is a gnome engineer

Looks similar yes?

He could also be a inventor or tinkerer or something like that.

Nidhögg said:

Indeed, he looks very similar.

I think we can´t go wrong with this one, but you never know..

A gnome is a cool character.

Interesting idea with this Wishing Well I also thought about it. Additionally one of the Warlock Quests Travel to the City states: "Bring the box to the city and seek the fountain in the Square of Kings. Place it in the fountain at midnight, turn, and leave that place immediately." So the Square of Kings would be one of the spaces in the City…

That's particularly interesting since the cover shows a water elemental coming out of a fountain at night. Clearly the Warlock is up to no good in the city!
