Talisman: Digital Edition - Season Pass

Thanks


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.
