I agree with what you say.

With that huge box, they can add many more characters to that expansion.

But we may not complain...

I am already happy that we get more dungeon cards than the second and third edition together ! 

And the board looks very good.

If there is one thing i am not happy about, then it is the inlay !

The picture on the inlay is fine, but they should add more spaces for cards !

More characters would be apreciated, but the 5 new characters in the dungeon was accepteble, just not less then that

Characters I would like to see is the Orc and other nonhuman characters. We now only have the Troll, Goul and Dwarf. In the next expansion I think we at least get two more - the biggest and smallest (If not the biggest is a human on a horse - I doubt that ).

I also hope that they keep it at 5 or more.

Right now, we have 23 characters..

If the other 3 regions will also contain 5 characters, then we have 38 characters..

But small expansions may contain characters too

Hi Velhart,

Yes let's hope we do get mini's with small expansion and not only cards.

This is "Talisman the Magical Board Game" and not "Talisman the Magical Card Game"

Cheers

Ha ha

That's a good one

I want at least go for the 50 miniatures The more, the better !!

It seems we have the smallest character now....

The Leprechaun !!

 Hehe... I found a portal to the Talisman world...

So.... where is that Crown......

Inner Region you say...

Let's look for a Talisman....

I wonder when we get the Vampire, Chaos Warrior, Dark Elf...

I also hope, that the Dark Elf is better than the boring Elf from the base game..

I think we need lot's of expansions, to get all the characters from earlier editions..

On top of that, the expert book has also characters that did not show up in those expansions..

They probably sell them each in their own shop( games workshop)..

Again, those are Elliott's characters, they were not official ones.

Thanks for he answer Jon.

So the abilities are also his idea's.

It makes sense now.

 Funny that the first thing I see when I come to this page is a card with an Orc. This is the whole reason I came here to post. There should be an orc for the 4th edition. Orcs are my favorite fantasy race. Please hear the call developers! Please hear the call! I don't really like the first picture i saw on the card with an orc with armor. I think this image I posted here is very acceptable. Just doesn't feel right if it ain't a bald green skin with animal fur clothing.

PLEASE HEAR THE CALL!!!

saytr and centaur were my favorite from earlier editions..

wait for The Forest Expansion ...maybe... :D

I got an idéa for a charachter, what about a "bounty hunter"?

Not sure what abileties he/she would have, but perhaps something with chasing the other players?

Example: At the start of the game the player with the bounty hunter trows one dice and if it shows a 3 then he/she pickes the third player clockwise, and he/she is the first target.

If the bounty hunter lands on the same space as the target you could choose to take that persons Talisman if he/she has one, or simply kill them off and collecting a reward, and then start over again with trowing a dice choosing a new target.

Leaving the killed player to chose a new charachter and start from scratch.

Or a "explorer" charachter that could travel further than the rest, always trowing two dices and could choose either one of the two results or the two combined?

The bounty hunter is a cool idea but not as an actual character. That is better as a "character" like death that randomly goes around the board and every player has a chance to inflict it on the other players. But the idea itself has merit. The power to steal a specific item, the one item you can use to then win the game and force people to drop everything and start over is a big deal. Would you personally love to use such a character. I'm sure you would. The game has a function like this: the Toad. You are reduced to meager status and can be killed rather easily, but to say you need to select a character immediatly as a power from a power is ludicrously powerful.

I personally wish they do not add back in master level characters. An Orc character. Ok, even a another type of mage, like a Chaos Mage perhaps where you cast a spell and roll a die and if you roll, say a 1-2 you can keep that spell if you want. Things like that seem fine. But the Master Mage from the master level character was over the top. So would a Bounty Hunter like your describing.

I'm speaking for the general purposes of the game.

From the old expansions (2nd & 3d edition):

- The Witch Doctor

- The Ninja

-The Samurai

- The Orc

- The Soldier

- The Inquisitor

- The Pilgrim

Also i ever liked the "Hopeless" Characters in my RPG's Adventures so there are some examples of that type of characters:

- The Hermit

-The Beggar

- The Blind Warrior

- The Butcher

- The Maid

- The Farmer

And in the end; other cultures characters:

-The Massai

- The Conqueror

- The Tribal Warrior

- The Redskin Chief

- The Viking

- The Shaman

- The Capoeira Fighter
