- I've been reading this board for about a month after having been away for a
- year, and wondered: has anyone been maintaining a Talisman FAQ (Frequently
- Asked Questions)? If not, I'd like to start one; I've got facilities here for
- posting it periodically, and making it available via anonymous FTP and via a
- mail archive server.
-
- The things it would cover are:
- - Real FAQs (questions that keep recurring)
- - Interpretations of ambiguities in the rules and on the cards.
- - Comments on strengths, weakneses, and playing strategies for particular
- characters (e.g. Dwarf can try to go for quick win via craft route).
- - House rules (e.g. what people do about the constant spell-casting via
- "always have spell" characters).
- - New characters and cards people have developed.
-
- If you like this idea (and if there's no current FAQ), please e-mail your
- suggestions for contents to dalamb@qucis.queensu.ca. Unless someone points
- out an existing FAQ, I plan to put together my current collection of Talisman
- interpretations etc., plus all the contributions y'all send, sometime in
- mid-January.
