Talisman: Digital Classic Edition News

Hello Talisman fans! ːbluetalismanː

With the holidays fast approaching, our team here at Nomad were thinking about what we could do to make it special. You’ve all supported us massively this year while we’ve been working hard to bring you more digital board game goodness, so we wanted to give something back.

Which is why we’re excited to announce that we’re giving you the opportunity to win the entire Nomad Games catalogue this Christmas! That’s right, one lucky fan will be the proud owner of every single game, expansion and piece of DLC we’ve currently got on Steam. That includes everything Talisman: Digital Edition of course! You can check out our full catalogue over here, to see what you could win. We’ve also got a whole sack full of runners-up prizes containing more games and stocking fillers, so everyone is in with a chance of winning a Nomad Games Christmas treat.

To be in with a chance of winning, all you need to do is sign up for our mailing list before January 4th, which you can do over on our website: https://nomadgames.co.uk/blog/christmas-giveaway-2022

We respect your privacy. We won’t share your email address with third parties, and we’ll only contact you directly if you win our giveaway.

By signing up to our mailing list, you’ll also get access to our monthly studio round-up newsletter, where we tell you all about the cool stuff we’ve been developing, testing and working on. We’ll also send you the occasional exciting update about projects we’re working on. And if you want to unsubscribe as soon as we've handed out the Christmas goodies, that's fine with us too!

If you’re already signed up to our mailing list though (either through Talisman: Digital Edition or through our website) then you don’t need to do anything - we’ll automatically enter you into our giveaway. We’ll contact the lucky winners directly via email on January 5th (when we’re back in the office after Christmas) to give out their prizes.

Good luck, and have a great holiday and New Year from everyone at Nomad Games! ːheartː

The Steam Autumn sale is officially here - we hope you've managed to pick up some cool games (or at least have your eyes on a few!).

As part of the event here on Steam, Valve are once again hosting their annual 'Steam Awards', where people can nominate their favourite games in a wide range of categories. While we were originally going to put Talisman: Digital Edition forward for the 'Better with Friends' category (because we know it's true!), it looks like you can only do that if you game came out this year - which is fair enough!

So instead, we've put the game forward for the 'Labor of Love' award. We'd massively appreciate it if you could throw a vote our way!

And then once you've cast your vote, open up your diary and make a note - because this Thursday at 1pm BST / 4am PST we'll be live here on Steam (and our official Twitch channel) playing some Talisman: Digital Edition, giving away Steam keys and generally having a chill time!

In the meantime, stay cool adventurers. ːheartː

Howdy Talisman fans! ːbluetalismanː

Today we released a small patch for Talisman: Digital Edition, which fixed the following:

As always, thanks for the support, and may the rolls always be in your favour ːTalProToadː ːheartː

Hi Talisman fans! ːBlueTalismanː

Today we've rolled out the latest patch for Talisman: Digital Edition. A good number of these fixes came about because you reported them either on our Discord or on the Steam forums here. So from everyone working on Talisman here at Nomad Games, thanks for your help and support!

Check out the official patch notes below, and don't forget to download the update if you want to play with your friends - you all need to be on the same version to play together (including cross-platform play!)

[h2]General Fixes:[/h2]

• We’ve made it so that you can’t use the ‘No More Lives’ house rule while The Dancing Skulls ending is active. This is because during this ending, You can only resurrect if you have at least 1 life point which you can gain from defeating enemies (or trading in trophies depending on rule choice) or other card encounters. If you have the No More Lives rule switched on, you've basically made it incredibly difficult to get resurrected, to the point you're limited to 2 cards from the realm region's deck. So it could also become impossible to do so. So in order to avoid people getting stuck in this situation, we’ve made this change.
  
• Certain Legendary versions of cards weren’t causing challenges to trigger as they should, so we’ve gone ahead and fixed those cards. The Legendary Deck versions of Self Portrait, Wraith and Giant will now add to challenges when encountered.
  
• The Devil's Minion was previously unable to use weapon inventions during psychic combat despite the fact they can use regular weapons that are meant for psychic combat. We’ve fixed this, so now all you Devil’s Minion players can use invented weapons to your evil hearts content.
  
• We discovered and fixed an issue with the Witch Doctor's Evil Eye ability. If you land on a character in the centre space for the first time and there is someone already there, it's ok to use his ability. However, the game was allowing you to keep using his ability on the following turns despite not moving to land on the other character. We’ve fixed this now, so he can only use his ability when he lands on someone.
  
• A minor fix, but sometimes the Werewolf card wouldn’t appear properly when you encountered it - it should now be visible.
  
• We fixed an issue where the use of the Horn of Dread could lead to locking the game if the owner dies and then the new owner who uses it straight away loses a life.
  
• We fixed a bug with the Enlightened destiny card, where it would not give the player a chance to trade in 1 light fate to gain a spell. Even if the player had room for a spell in their inventory and there are no anti-spell/magic effects in play, the game still wouldn’t let them use it. This has now been fixed, and the Destiny should function properly.
  
• When the Ifrit Invasion card from the Fireland expansion was drawn while the Cataclysm version of the board was in use, the card wouldn’t let you roll for its effect. We’ve fixed this issue, so now the card should function as expected even when using the Cataclysm board.
  
• We’ve added some more localisation fixed based on feedback from the community - thanks to everyone who pointed out text that needed updating!
  

[h2]Crash Fixes:[/h2]

We’ve rolled out a ton of crash bug fixes in this patch, including fixes for:

• An occasional crash downloading Avatar and Challenge textures
  
• An occasional crash when selecting cards in a network game
  
• An occasional crash in CURL on Android
  
• A very infrequent crash when saving the game
  
• And more!
  

[h2]Nomad Account Updates:[/h2]

We’ve now added a ‘delete account’ button to the game, so that you can delete your Nomad Account directly through Talisman: Digital Edition. Be careful with this feature however, as you won’t be able to get your account back!

We’ve also updated the email that we send when you sign up for a Nomad Account to enable email account verification. Previously you could enter any old email address and have a valid email address without needing to confirm that email was actually you. So now we’ve added a ‘confirm email address’ button to your email, so we can just confirm you are who you claim to be.

As always, thanks for the support everyone! ːheartː
