Does this game even have a fanbase? I'm not trying to be an asshole toward Talislanta or it's fan, it's just that I've recently discovered that this RPG even existed and that all the pdf are available for free from the official website. It had multiple editions so I have to assume it has a fanbase somewhere but for something this old, I've never ever seen it being brought up Veeky Forums. Not even as a jab or 'look-at-this-thing' kind of way.

Hearing it was all free I checked it out.
It looked interesting at a glance, but I found it hard to really get in there at the guts of the thing.
For one it's hard enough getting my dopey friends to try role playing games they've already heard of, let alone ones where they have to memorize a bunch of race names they've never heard of and can't pidgeon-hole at a glance.

I mean, what the fuck are these rainbow men even called?
Anybody?
What is this strange velociraptor the rainbow man fights?
Is it his natural enemy?

I don't know but it looks kinda cool in a 'this-would-make-a-cool-race-as-a-reference-in-Dungeons-the-Dragoning' kind of way.

Right, I think he's what's called a "Pharisian", which is an offshoot of another race called the Cymrilians; I'm basing on my hypothesis on a description I just found of the Pharisians dyeing their skin in bright hues.
Apparently they're often scoundrels, vagabonds and sellswords.

It has, but they're fucking old, so they're mostly not on the Internet (except Google+ and Facebook). And Veeky Forums has a much younger crowd, most people here got into D&D with 3e.
These guys are clone warriors and tatoo their whole bodies to differentiate themseles and to say stuff, it's their identity, essentially. They're called Thralls and formed the Kingdom of Taz. Ex-slaves, like many races of Talislanta.
Don't remember pharisians, but the tatooed men are definitely thralls.
To anyone interest, all the books from all editions are FREE on the Talislanta website. Go and download fourth edition, it's the best. (some people will tell you fifth edition is the best, but I think fourth edition is the best and that they're wrong. There are also some rare breeds who'll tell you 2nd edition is best. Reminds you of anything?)

And I think that beast is an exomorph. It's like a tiger. Or, if you played AD&D 1e, it's like an arumnovorax. Apex crazy predator shit.

I think it looks really neat. Keep planing to do it but haven't got around.

It's a great game - i do 1st ed, as that shit is just perfect for a light fantasy game. d20, beat 6 to succeed, beat 20 for 'dramatic' success. Crazy epic world full of weirdness, over 100 character types....good times.
