D20 Talislanta

[Piratecat]

Are there elves? I hope there are elves. I love elves.

They cook up nice and tender.

I always found this to be a very stupid tagline. If a setting has to define itself by what it not is, this is usually not a good sign . Talislanta has enough positive reasons to like it .

I know, I know...it's a knee-jerk tag-line. But with anti-elfness a common trend, it's not suprising. Talislanta is teh bomb.

Hey, that line sold me on the game a little over a year ago.

Back in he mid-80's, when the "No Elves" line was first used, it did help Tal stand out from the vast majority of games that existed at the time. The "Still No Elves" line was used more for nostalgia than anything else.

I've only played in Talislanta once, never ran a game, and I loved it. I loved the flavour/atmosphere and even made my own Deck for my spell caster.

The concern I have about d20 Talislanta is the way they handle the races in the game. Additionally Talislanta wasn't class/level based but experience point based. You would spend XP to improve abilities. If this isn't done "right" it could kill it.

I completely disagree.

For Talisalnta d20 to be successful, it MUST be d20.

Remember that they'll be doing Talislanta 4th edition still.

There would be 0 point in having Talislanta d20 so different from regular d20 that you could not pick up and play the new core races/feats/classes/PrCs in a standard D&D game because you still have your 4th edition.

I can see the magic system being different because that's part of the setting, but if they were going to go really wild on the d20 system, because they already have a system, they shouldn't bother.

I never doubted that it might be effective . I just like positive characterizations more .

I really hope that it makes it out in Faebruary like announced.

I am extremely interested in seeing how the magic system from 4e translated to D20.

I had been working on it, then I stopped once I heard they were doing it.

Anyone heard if this is still on track for this month?

It is pre-ordered at my game store!
