Thank you to all supporters of Talisman and its digital counterpart over the past 5 years. Without the fans of Talisman and without fans of Talisman: Digital Edition, we wouldn't be in this position to add to the illustrious tapestry that is Talisman. We love this game and we hope that the future of Talisman continues to be full of adventure and victory.
Talisman Season Pass
When we originally introduced the Season Pass purchase option for Talisman on January 10, 2014, we did so in the interest of offering a great deal for players that were wanting to get all of the content we were recreating digitally from the physical board game. Fans that were familiar with the physical board game could get the Season Pass and know that they were getting a digital copy of that complete experience they loved about the physical board game, with the content delivered as we completed creating it over the following months and years.
After a couple of weeks of being on sale, it became clear from feedback and discussions that we hadn’t communicated clearly as to what would happen for new content that we wanted to create beyond the 4th edition re-creation. So we updated the store page for the season pass on January 27th 2014 to clarify that the season pass would include content from just the 4th edition board game.
Over time, we finished building that 4th edition content and delivering it to all the customers who bought the season pass. We have recently released a brand new piece of content that wasn’t part of the original 4th edition board game and expands the game much further and we currently have plans for more exclusive DLC. However, we have had customers who have highlighted that when they fully invested in supporting Talisman it was during a time that we promised all content for the game and we have since changed the terms of the product they supported. This has been a topic that has been debated and discussed many times. After much internal discussion, we have made the decision to grant all content that will be made for Talisman: Digital Edition to all Steam users that supported us in those early days by buying a season pass upon the release of the game. So, we’ve worked with Valve to make sure we can grant all future content to those players who bought the Season Pass during that time. If you bought the Season Pass between January 10 and January 27th, 2014 you will now see the latest DLC in your library.
This decision comes late in the day and so we can only apologise for how long it has taken us to support those people that supported us back in ye olde days. We hope that the decision that has been made is a positive one and that we can all look forward to the new content being created by Nomad.
Future of the Season Pass
As season passes exist for pre-purchasing content we will seek to retire the current season pass as Steam offers better ways (bundling) for users to buy all content and/or complete their collection.
We will get a bit more creative with our bundles so people who have bits and pieces of DLC will be able to complete their collections at a discounted price.
Digital Exclusive Content
Although some users have requested a new season pass that will deliver digital exclusive content to a pass in the same way the old season pass handled the Revised 4th Edition content, this won't be achievable for the new content. Although we never knew just how far the physical content would go there was a wealth of content for us to add a reasonable price to with a roadmap for delivery. The digital exclusive content has different requirements for creation and implementation and we don't have a back catalogue of DLC to include here and so our knowledge of exactly where the content will go is limited to our current approved designs and, as such, we can't appropriately price a pass for this.
We will create a mini-pack that will be available for purchase before the release of our next expansion, The Ancient Beasts, and it will allow users to purchase the next 3 pieces of DLC at a reduced cost. We will release more details of the future content when this pack goes live.

New expansion news. #3
Hey,
So, we were looking for 50 new Discord users over the weekend to release the third new image from our new expansion for Talisman: Digital Edition. Over the weekend we've picked up 136 new members! Thanks for the support.
The new images have been pinned to Talisman #general on our Discord.
The new challenge for another piece of art is worth getting in on as the image that will be shared shows how the new art is displayed in-game and it looks awesome.
The challenge is...
We want to collect the full Revised 4th Edition physical game in pictures.
The rules are...
Every picture must contain one expansion only.
Only one submission allowed per user
All submissions have to be posted to the Talisman #general in our Discord
So, in other words. We want 14 15 pictures from 14 15 people that show between them the base game and the 13 14 expansions.
Have some fun with this one! The picture is worth it. :BlueTalisman:
New expansion news #2.
Hey!
Yesterday we released a brand new image from our upcoming expansion.
We said that if we received 25 new users on our Discord server we'd post a new image in the Discord. That got smashed pretty quickly so the new image has been posted (and pinned to our Talisman #general channel).
Before we move on to trying to get you lot to get a celebrity retweet something Talisman related or something equally as fun the next community challenge that will unlock the next image is a nice little increase on the previous challenge.
If we gain 50 new users on our Discord channel we will share a new image from the new expansion.
To see the new image join our Discord server - to help unlock the next one rope a few Talisman friends into joining (we're currently at 459).
Any thoughts on what kind of expansion would unleash the beast below?

The Realm of Souls - OUT NOW
Hello all,
Welcome to the Other Side!
Even when the life leaves your hero the adventure isn’t over…
The land beyond the Veil has given birth to a powerful ruler. The King of the Dead commands the forces of the afterlife to cross the Veil to invade the land of the living. Death is no longer the end for the player, only the start of a new adventure. The Realm of Souls expansion brings forth a brand new, digital exclusive mechanic that will allow the heroes of Talisman to traverse the lands of the dead and continue their battles for the Crown. The Realm of Souls expansion adds; 3 Characters - Archon, Spectre Collector, Clairvoyant. 6 Adventure Cards, 3 Spell Cards, 70 Veil Cards, 3 Terrain Cards and 2 Alternative Endings.
Today marks the release of the first digitally exclusive expansion created by Nomad Games!
This is something that we've been looking forward to for a long, long time. Having spent so much time immersed in the world of Talisman the Nomad team have been asking themselves the question what comes next? We've come up with a good number of concepts and principles that we believe are true to Talisman and we'd like to share the first one with you.
In the Realm of Souls, our heroes get to experience the world between the living and the dead as they attempt to stave off eternal slumber and find their way back to the land of the living. Can you survive the tormented spirits who want you to join them in never ending despair?
As is standard, tracking specific bugs between the live build and different builds that we've been working on is normally tough so we are unable to produce a list of bug fixes. If you want to know if anything specific has been fixed then please ask.
Dev Note
Another standard for a new update, please complete any games that you want to complete on the old build before updating as old saves on the new build may be rendered unplayable.
Along with this, if you lose your Runestones and XP, please go to the leaderboard and hit refresh.
Special thanks…
As always, we are grateful for all the hours that people choose to give to helping us improve the quality of Talisman: Digital Edition. For this expansion we gave more people access at an earlier stage and some folk really went above and beyond in helping us ensure the highest standards possible.
Thanks especially to Neil, Nemomon and talismanisland for your continued hard work and support.
MYSTIC VALE is a faithful recreation of Alderac Entertainment’s popular CCG where players take on the role of druidic clans trying to cleanse the curse upon the land.
We asked our partners at Nomad to deliver a game that captures that desire to play again right after you have finished playing. They succeeded. All I want to do is play another game of Mystic Vale right now. We could not be happier.
About Mystic Vale A curse has been placed on the Valley of Life. Hearing the spirits of nature cry out for aid, clans of druids have arrived, determined to use their blessings to heal the land and rescue the spirits. It will require courage and also caution, as the curse can overwhelm the careless who wield too much power.
The digital edition of MYSTIC VALE allows players to experience its unique Card Crafting System that allows players to actually make the cards they’re fighting with. Unlike other card games, in Mystic Vale, players have total freedom to mix and combine pieces of their cards into something truly unique. This is but one of the fantastic features of MYSTIC VALE:
Beautiful artwork and graphics that bring the game to life.
Concise rules offer a deep gaming experience with meaningful decisions.
Tremendous replay value that will increase with future expansions.
Soothing music that transports you to the Vales themselves.
Talisman: The Realm of Souls beta
Talisman: The Realm of Souls
Today marks the first level of access to the first expansion that is exclusive to Talisman: Digital Edition.
Over the next few months we are looking to share the brand new content with our beta group and looking to refine the Nomad created content.
The Realm of Souls brings a new dynamic to death in Talisman - a world to explore beyond the mortal realms. Whilst other heroes continue their quest to find a Talisman and reach the Crown of Command, the Ghosts of our fallen adventurers will have to fight or flee from the unknown horrors of the Realm of Souls, desperately searching for an essence of life to help them return back to their corporeal form.
