In response to the initiation of a Talisman discussion, first I would
have to say that it is difficult to pick one favorite character class,
especially since I haven't played them all yet.
My favorite experience while playing occurred when I was two or three steps
behind another player who was heading for the Crown. He got there in time
to cast one Command spell, but on the next turn, I was there with him.
He had no counter spell for the Random spell I cast at him. At times, and
this annoys a lot of other players, I will watch someone roll a die, say
the number I want them to roll, and it pops up. Sure enough, I said
"One", and he rolled a one turning him into a toad for three rounds.
With no Talisman in his possession, he had to leave the Crown area.
I love having the proliferation of character classes, but with a group of
five or more playing, the choosing becomes tedious. So I wrote a short
program that reads all of the classes in, from data of course, and them
randomly assigns them to players. It does work well and is a suggestion
for any of you who have the same problem.
I'm curious as to how much the "Timescape" set costs. Any help?
Since I know so few people who play Talisman, I also encourage others to
join in this discussion.
