Talislanta to be set free to coincide with a big new art book

I think that there will be a new big art book for Talislanta, and to coincide with that the game is being released for free on PDF.

I thought it was just going to be the older versions but it looks like it might be all of them?

Not sure. It seems there is some confusion over the current release of PDF's.

Though the art book does seem cool.

neat! I remember seeing some Bard books back when I was a kid and I really liked the art. I think I'd need to have a group for this, though, but it could be great.

Wow... thanks.

Talislanta was my first major RPG shift post-AD&D.

A bizzare and interesting world captured wonderfully with art by PD Breeding (-Black).

Compared to AD&D it blew me away with it's innovative game system: No classes, a skill list, variable non-vancian magic, no AC, and "fixed" HPs.

Tal was my first gaming exposure. Thanks a ton for letting me know about this.

Yes, it is going to be all of them, although the more recent ones have to wait until the contract ends with Morrigan Press, which is in April I think.

Stephen Michael Sechi, Talislanta's creator, is a class act. Talislanta is one of my all-time favorite games and settings.

Wow!

Talislanta is a nice system and a very good setting and it's incredibly nice of Michael Sechi to release all the PDFs for free.
