Message: <blockquote data-quote="Particle_Man" data-source="post: 1439717" data-attributes="member: 892">My talisman has 6 expansion sets!The set I have includes the following.1. Talisman (the object: get to the centre and use the crown of command to nuke others into submission), 2. Talisman expansion set (alternate endings added in this one or the next one - a critter to fight, a horrible black void (death), or an item to, you guessed it, nuke others into submission), 3. Talisman the Adventure, 4. Talisman Dungeon (a dangerous way to get a shortcut up to the centre), 5. Talisman Timescape (So that's where you go with the horrible black void! Go to other worlds, get cool sci-fi gear, get killed), 6. Talisman City (has laws against fighting and spells, but if you have money you can get great stuff - has the equivalent of prestige classes), 7. Talisman Dragons (lots of freaking dragons!  The ending is actually tamer, since the Dragon King here is a total wimp compared to the Dragon King from the alternate endings).And it was fun and long and needed house rules but I loved it.  Although I noted that my favourite character, the elf, got less powerful with each expansion, since his teleportation ability did not extend to any of the added boards.  C'est la vie!The new sets didn't inspire me as much, somehow, but maybe that is because I had spent so much on the old stuff I didn't want to spend it on the new stuff.  I think the first expansion set expanded on the corner spaces, and the other expansion set made the center board more complex, but I could be wrong.Oh, and the old cosmic encounter (mayfair) is way better than the new one (hasbro), since the old one could be played with 3-6 players, not merely 2-4.  (I am not speaking of the really really old cosmic encounter, by eon, of which I know nothing).</blockquote>
