It's been mentioned before - Talislanta: Epic Edition is coming. Originally it was going to be 5e, then the wisely moved to dual-stat-edition with classic rules. Now they've dropped the 5e version entirely and are going pure Talislanta.

Here is the new artwork of the races.

They had a lot of this project done before the whole OGL debacle... Steve Sechi, made the call to drop all the 5e development. That takes guts. But that means they're likely doing a lot of rework. Anyhow, I thought you guys might be interested.


Disclaimer: I'm attached to the project. Now that it's not 5e, I can get behind it, heh. I'm working on the Savage Worlds conversion for any of you Savage Lands players out there. If you ever wanted to take a crack at Talislanta (which has a great system in its own right) the Savage Lands rules will be SWADE so if you wanna port your stuff over, or bring some Talislanta into your game, now you can!

This might get me to reconsider Savage Worlds.

I'll be in on this. Nice to see the update coming. And a SWADE version will be cool to see. I'm glad they jumped off of the fucking 5E bandwagon. I was so disappointed at the first release's mention of it being a 5E product.

To be honest using Savage Worlds is just another bandwagon that a lot of people have clutched to over the years.

If they really wanted to do something that would fit the Talislanta world better they'd use the D6 System.   As a game system Savage Worlds doesn't fit Talislanta well. But I admit I think Savage Worlds kinda just sucks as a game engine. That's just my own personal opinion though.

They did D6 for the Talislanta Savage Lands which is the the earlier no magic version from a few years back. It was nice but I tend to prefer the normal Talislanta system which is light and plays well. You are wrong about Savage Worlds but hey ho, it doesn't really matter.

Well officially the Savage Worlds edition is off (which mean I'm off it). Nothing acrimonious - they might still fire it up again once this current crowdfunding round happens and I'll be their guy to lead it.

Sad, but I did a lot of work on it, so I'll just keep it tucked away.

That's a real shame. It would have gotten me to back, while as it stands I already have many editions that I could convert myself.

But they are making bank on this so clearly their game plan is as good one.

Yep. And I'm happy that people are backing it.

We'll see if the SW edition gets the green light in the future. If not - no biggy. If I get the sense that it isn't going to happen, I may just release all the stuff I already made (I'll complete it first) to the public.
