[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 1298098, member: 63"] I'm also a great fan of Talislanta, though, to be truthful, I've only played it using its own rules two or three times, with people who I thought didn't want to devote the effort necessary to learn the scope of D&D rules. In writing the revised version of E.N.Publishing's [i]The Elements of Magic[/i], I've drawn on my experiences with the Tal magic system, trying to add in a few extra layers of complexities that seem more suited to D20, but keeping the same general flexibility. I even figured out a way to combine different magic types, which Tal never had (in Tal, you can't have one spell both create an Illusion and hurt something, for instance). I even talked to the Shooting Iron folks last year about whether they'd want to do a d20 version of Talislanta. We never really got far into it, because neither side had writers to spare. Truthfully, though, a Talislanta adaptation to d20 wouldn't be hard, and I've got a handful of notes about the setting on my hard drive. The bulk of an adaptation would be setting material, fluff; the rules could be done in a cinch. I'm still tempted to start writing on it. [/QUOTE]
