This is unrelated to the competition, but I thought I would just give a little bonus to people that might be using this "not quite finished" version of the Talisman plug-in for Strange Eons, and have uploaded the images needed for the newer Draconic Lords.

Argaman is already included, but card and token images for Kyanos and Shamouti can be found here -

I'd certainly be interested to see what Dragon Rage effects people come up with for them...

Many thanks to JC Hendee for taking the time to make these images!

Portion and Elxier has been submitted.

Thank you for your great work for so many years. Hope you will keep on some more years

So, I just updated the front page at Talisman Island with a reminder about the deadline for the Lucky 13 competition.

HOWEVER...

When I went to post news of this to BGG it seems that I did not make the same updated announcement there as I did here at the end of February!

So, I figure the best thing would be to extend the deadline slightly, to give anyone a chance that did not know about the update. I figure that an extension of a week should be enough time...

Do people think that is fair?

That seems fair, although I am eager to see the results!  We'll just have to wait a bit longer...

 Go ahead. I think we all can wait another week.

Thanks chaps. I think another week won't hurt and it gives me a chance to ping the Yahoo Group and Twitter too...

The 9th of April will be good as it is at the end of the holiday weekend giving people a chance to get something sorted.

Soooo… any news on how far you got with that pile of new stuff you got in your in-box? ;) 

Well, the pile of stuff is now on my desktop and I need to get a good look through everything a couple of times before I finally decide.

A few have caught my eye though, so it should be all sorted reasonably soon. I am hoping perhaps to have something sorted by the weekend as long as I can concentrate on it.

I would not have believed that judging these entries was so difficult. I seem to be flitting from one good idea, to another and then back again!

Don't worry though as I PROMISE!!!!! to have a winner picked by the end of the weekend, hopefully tomorrow. I will force myself to choose and throw myself on the mercy of the fans!

Well, that didn't take as long as I thought. I have finally got it all sorted and emailed the various winners. You can now read up about who the lucky few are, and have a gander at all of the entries to the competition.

Thanks to everyone that entered. You won't believe how hard it was to judge! I think I will definitely be using a commitee next time to help out!

Here's to the next 13 years of Talisman Island, and don't forget, Talisman is 30 next year…

I like the enchantress expansion idea too:)

Trading some trophies at the enchantress for some special cards, like the frog's eye, seer stone or arch mage amulet are some nice idea's.

Thanks Velhart and thanks Jon. 

We're very glad you liked our expansion. I still haven't looked through all other ideas but there are many good entries. I can understand that you had a hard time picking a winner, just like we have a hard time understanding that you choose ours. :) 

I hope that more of you guys will like it as well! 

Best Regards

 By the way, it would be nice to have the list of entries completed with forum user name's because here people are more known under there alias.

Hopefully that's possible.

Well, it is possible that people might not like to have the connection made, plus there are some that entered through other avenues than FFG.

I shall leave it to the entrants should they wish to step up!

One reason why -- when I plan on interacting publicly -- that I use by own name and keep usernames for when I'm mostly lurking.

Thanks for all the work, Jon. I look forward to looking over some of the entries with my morning tea. And very surprising how many there are!!!
