[QUOTE="SmokinDeist, post: 7719946, member: 6878100"] I have had a love of Talislanta that started when third edition came out and Peter Adkison from WotC offered me and my business partner--we used to co-own a FLGS in Astoria, OR--free badges for our first OryCon if we would demo the game. We were deep in a campaign in another game and by the time we had started to play, we had two week before we had to go to the con. My former business partner was a fantastic GM--though he did have some flaws in his ability to understand some system's mechanics. That was more than compensated by his ability to run a campaign--sometimes just off of a 3x5 business card. He had been studying the game a bit and had typed up some notes on his C64 and gave copies to us, the players. It is a strength of the system that he had no trouble picking up the mechanics. I have looked through all of the different editions and it is true enough for all of them. The setting is a beautiful and large sandbox to play in. All he had to do was come up with the adventures and tht was where he excelled anyway. The players at the demo had a lot of fun and people came back at later cons asking for more. I believe he did Talislanta the next year or two and them moved to other games. In his campaign we went from the Seven Kingdoms travelling across the continent to the Quan Empire and ending up with the liberation of Batre and the Batrean Concubine PC becoming the Queen of Batre. It was a wild ride. I think you could have a lot of fun with any edition but I do like Fourth Edition and I look forward to getting my copy of The Savage Land when the KickStarter ships. I have played a lot of different game systems from 1st ED AD&D to Symbaroum and Talislanta is my absolute favorite RPG of all time. [/QUOTE]
