Begin your exploration of the Realm with the Core Rulebook for the Talisman Adventures Fantasy Roleplaying Game! Magical forests, treacherous mountains, deadly dungeons, and more await you between these pages. Begin your adventures as any of ten classes (assassin, druid, minstrel, priest, prophet, scout, sorcerer, thief, warrior, or wizard) and seven ancestries (elf, dwarf, human, ghoul, leywalker, troll, and sprite).

The Talisman Adventures Fantasy Roleplaying Game is a hardcover book divided into two sections: the Player’s Guide and the Game Master’s Guide. In the back of the book, you’ll find Light and Dark Fate tokens, character sheets, and six pre-gen characters. It also includes a short, starting adventure, Death’s Messenger, so that you can jump right into the action.

If you want to be even better prepared for your heroic journey the Talisman Adventures Accessory Pack (Dice & Tokens) is available for purchase. It contains as many Light and Dark Fate Tokens as you could ever need in addition to 3 Talisman Adventures Dice. The special look of the customized Kismet Dice will make it easier for you to see what fate has in store. (Of course you are free to use common six-sided dice of different colors instead.)

The Talisman Adventures Fantasy Roleplaying Game rules are fast-paced, easy to learn, and feature the new 3D6 Adventures rules set. With these rules, the players take the lead and determine the action as their characters explore magical new lands, encounter enigmatic strangers, and do battle against terrible monsters. This book provides a multitude of enemies, strangers, followers, mysterious locations, and magic items to include in your adventures. Forbidden knowledge and fabulous treasures — perhaps even the fabled Talisman of the Great Wizard — await the daring and heroic.

To play this game, you’ll need a few friends, three six-sided dice, 2–4 hours, and your imagination.

Handouts and all additional extras can be found here.

Beginnt eure Reise durch das Reich mit dem Grundregelwerk des Talisman Adventures Fantasy Roleplaying Game! Mystische Wälder, tückische Gebirge, tödliche Verliese und mehr erwarten euch in diesem Buch. Taucht mit einer von sieben Abstammungen (Elf, Zwerg, Mensch, Ghul, Geisterläufer, Troll und Fee) und als eine von zehn Klassen (Assassine, Druide, Barde, Priester, Prophet, Kundschafter, Zauberer, Dieb, Krieger, Magier) in eure Abenteuer ein.

Die Regeln des Talisman Adventures Fantasy Roleplaying Game sind leicht zu lernen, flüssig zu spielen und basieren auf dem neuen 3D6 Adventures Regelsystem. Mit diesen Regeln übernehmen die Spieler die Führung, während ihre Charaktere magische Lande erkunden, rätselhaften Fremden begegnen und grauenhafte Monster bekämpfen. Das Buch enthält eine Vielzahl an Gegnern, Fremden, Gefolgsleuten, Orten und magischen Gegenständen, die ihr in eure Abenteuer integrieren könnt. Verbotenes Wissen und unermessliche Reichtümer und vielleicht sogar der berühmte Talisman des Großen Zauberers erwarten die Mutigen.

Das Core Rulebook des Talisman Adventures Fantasy Roleplaying Game ist aufgeteilt in zwei Abschnitte: den Player’s Guide und den Game Master’s Guide. Im Anhang findet ihr Helle und Dunkle Schicksalsmarker, Charakterbögen und sechs vorgefertigte Charaktere. Mit dem Einstiegsabenteuer Death’s Messenger könnt ihr direkt loslegen.

Um dieses Spiel zu spielen, braucht ihr lediglich drei sechsseitige Würfel, zwei bis vier Stunden Zeit und eine Prise Fantasie.

Es handelt sich um ein englischsprachiges Regelwerk.

Request for next print revision: please make spell durations clearer, preferably in the spell data. Certain ones are ambiguous, and others hard to find. (Ambiguous: Black Ice, Gust of Wind, and Verdant Growth.) It's safe to presume all healing spells are instant; Crashing waves seems like instant...
Also: When an Enemy targets a follower, What's the roll? (Strength or Craft as appropriate?)

I scrolled through the whole discussion so far and am pretty sure my question has not been posted before, so I'll leave it here if anyone can help.

1. If a great success or better is achieved by a player character in combat, does that fully negate the enemy's action, or does it force the enemy to wait until their turn, giving the character a defense test instead of automatic damage?

2. None of the discord links posted previously seem to be working. Is there a new link I can get to join the discord?

1. Yes, but only 1 action per PC attack. See page 41 under Attack, Melee for Great Success for example (Your opponent does not get an action).
If the Enemy is attacked fewer times than it has actions, though, it will be able to act in the Enemy Action Phase.
Also see page 44, under Enemy Response.

2. Try this one: https://discord.gg/68PAaeNH
(I didn't know invites expired. Or not sure if you can just search for the channel once you're on discord?)

Some spells don't have a duration, it's usually spells that create something so I assume it's as intended and the thing created doesn't disappear. But is that thing still magical or is it now a mundane object? Can the ice from the Black Ice spell be melted and can it be dispelled with other spells? How about the vegetation you create with Verdant Growth, can it be burned down and can it be dispelled with other spells? If it's dispelled does the vegetation disappear or only the debuff from being inside it?

Also can you link the discord for rules again? The links to it in the other comments aren't accessible to me.

Anything that is created by magic remains magic, so it can be dispelled. This includes effects such as Black Ice and Verdant Growth. However, the effects behave naturally; black ice would melt over time (although not within a combat) and Verdant Growth would eventually wither die.

I'll see about getting Discord links up again.

I am loving the running the game, it is so fluid and great for storytelling. I do have a few quick questions though if anyone could help:

1/ When an enemy responds to a failed attack with a spell does their need to be a roll? My thinking is that no there does not in most instances as the players failure is the enemies opportunity for success. I am also interpreting a standard success as a part of the spell going off but say half damage or duration.

2/ When a PC spellcaster fails at a spell does an enemy get an oppotunity to attack if it is being targeted by the failed spell?

3/ Are there any plans for a dedicated site for providing GM advice, enabling players to share homebrew etc?

This is meant as a comment on the review of Luke A. where he asked if he missed something. Well, yes and no I might say. Concerning the points that you raised:

Setting: it's true that the setting is literally based off of the Talisman boardgame. The history section provides a lot of hints. You might like this or not but there is basically just one major city in the Realm. So it's called "The City". Other features on the map are interpretations of the boardgame as well. It might sound strange but that is how this world works. It's all very magical. I agree with you on the matter of scale concerning the world map. It would be helpful to be able to more precisely measure distances between locations.

Sprites: in the free "Free Stuff" download for TA you'll get some more tables to flesh out your characters. In the section on Sprites you'll learn that they are 0.7 to 1.2 metres tall. So while there are no strict rules on Sprite equipment scaling differently I'd rule out...See more

Hello all

Got another clarification question on combat rules.

It sates that if you get a standard success, the enemy strikes you back. However what happens if you 1 hit the enemy on a standard? do the strike you as they fall, or do you avoid it.

Standard success is you succeeded but something went wrong, so I just want to see how others are handling that.

Yeah after going through the player attacks again, it makes since to do it simultaneous. Seems to be a balanced decision to also hit the casters in the back when they don't completely succeed. Also forcing them to use more light fate, which is always good.

I can't remember this absolutely, but a quick glance at the rules seems to indicate, that it is not "hardcoded" to the rules, that the attack roll / attack means just one swing (like some systems do), which also makes sense, because the enemy attack is also abstracted to the player's roll.

If that's the case, it only makes sense that during the exchange there might be an opportunity for the enemy to damage you too. It's not like two swords swing in the air simultaneously and hit each other at the same time. So if it supports both the balance AND the immersion, it's a win-win!

My intent was that an attack roll is an exchange of blows. It might be a single swing each, or several jabs or swings depending on the circumstances. Combat tends to be very fluid in that regard. Sometimes opponents circles each other looking for the perfect time to strike, while other times they are on top of each other wailing away. This is also represented by one of the possible effects for a standard success or failure in ranged combat being that you use additional ammo.

Love the system, just would like some clarity on equipment. Mainly involving the shield/helm:
What are some suggestions for different makes of shields/helms and how much would they cost and absorb before breaking?

I can make some different types up, but there is not enough information to go off of to do that and be confident in it.

Just would like some examples with cost, etc

I would also like some Clarification on Spellcasting Focus.
If you have the spellcasting skill you can cast any spell, but if you cast a spell of your focus do you just add +2 like everything else?

Ian L March 08, 2021 2:11 pm UTC

That is correct. You can use the Spellcasting skill to cast any spell from a scroll or as a granted spell. But you can only learn and memorize spells if you have the spellcasting special ability, so usually if you are a Wizard, Sorcerer, Druid, etc. If you have a spell casting focus then you get a +2 when casting spells of that school.

As to helms and shields, the rules for when they/ break are in the core rulebook. Making different types would be easy enough. You could have helms and shields that would absorb extra hits Maybe 20-25 gold extra? There are also magical helms and shields listed in the core book. Ultimately, it's your game, so set the price what you think works for your campaign or adventure. As Tim said, rules for making master-crafted helms and shields and the like will show up in future supplements.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
