4.5 ALERT!!!!

The fact that they'd make an upgrade pack for existing game owners is very cool on their part. Good job, Fantasy Flight.

Hummm Version 4 'Upgrade' *Imagination running wild here* a BIG HUGE STICKER to go over the original board, with all of the printing errors fixed, or maybe 'Place this new 'Oasis' sticker over the old Oasis.

Ya know... (search Ebay to confirm this) but Talisman Edition 2 and expansions are rather Pricey there, maybe I'll just take my original 4E, put it up on a shelf, 'marked' 'gentley played' and let it gather some dust for a few years... who knows... maybe my original $50.00 investment will be worth $150.00 in another 25 years

(for those younger folk, this is called sarcasm, the game originally purchased in the 80's has go way up in price since the original release...but dont forget in the 80's we had Gasoline for what? $1.00 a gallon? and look at it today $3.60, so would this be a 'real investment' Nah it wouldnt. (Unless you have several copies of 2E Dragons Unpunched... now I know someone who paid $300.00 for that expansion (nooooooooo dont look my way, I'd NEVER pay that much, well.. I dont think I'd pay that much...well I HOPE I wouldnt pay that much...well HELL I had Talisman Edition 2 and all the other Expansions, I NEEDED DRAGONS ! ! !)

So I'll probably buy Version 4.5.

Do you know what will include this upgrade?

FFG will also make available an upgrade kit, which will include the new plastic figures, revised rules and cards, for those who purchased Games Workshopâ€™s 4th Edition of Talisman, which was released in October of 2007.

But who am I going to rope in to paint the new minis now? Argh!!!

if they're smart, they'll use pre-painted plastic ones. they're cheaper and more durable.

we got tired of the cardboard and have been using D&D miniatures (forest troll ftw) for the characters.

I doubt they will be as games like WoW don't have painted minis.

I wouldn't say no to a limited edition pewter collector's set though...

i really wonder if ffg will really continue 4ed. i still dont believe it until it is on the shelves. how can they continue without the original artists ?

what plastic miniatures ? those from descent and runebound with new charactercards for them ???

beside, i dont like the 4e board really, looks like someone has swept his coffee all over it. well, had the adcantage that if someone sweeps his coffee over it ,it wont mention

and the price fpr the upgrade kit ? i would say 50§ for the full set and 44,95$ for the upgrade

about time scedules , look at the next runebound board expansion, was announced for christman 07, now its not even in the "what will come" column and runebound midnight is gone.

so be cool, wait what will come, and save you love for the reality, not for your hope !

The page for Runebound Midnight is still there if people are interested though. Perhaps it just wasn't a popular expansion...

LOL... Have to disagree with ya, the 4th ed board is the best. IMO. Hey if the mini's are from Decent characters with talisman cards that would be fine with me. The price is a little weird though your right. I am sure I'll get the game anyway.

the news release says plastic, though.

Yes, they are as with WoW, but FFG also made sets of bronze figures available too.

I'd be interested to see what the differences are in the board. I JUST purchased v4. I had actually gone to England in 1988 and a friend of mine purchased v2. We played that game for years. I'm not quite sure if I'll open v4 or just wait a little while. ARRGH!!! Why FFG?! Why!?

I was going through May Previews and saw the solicitation for Talisman. I have, but am rarely able to play, the third edition reprint from a few years ago. I remember playing with friends back in junior high and high school and having a really good time with it. It's long enough that you can get really invested in it, but simple enough that it doesn't take all night and is quick to learn.

Anyway, this new edition sounds pretty sharp, and I'd say there's a pretty good chance that I'll buy it. I suppose that I would have seen something here, but you guys are saying an October release for it, right? The May Previews is generally solicitations for July, and a couple of comic shop sites are listing a July 2 release for it.

So has anything new come out lately? Can we be seeing this new version that soon? Maybe some preview pictures???

This is really kewl news.I'll be eagerly waiting for them.

I have second ed and was about to get the new one till I saw this so I decided to wait a few months. My son is eight now and decided that this would be our boardgame of choice. We can't wait till it comes out.
