Who here's interested in a weird post-apoc fantasy world inspired by the fantasy novels of Jack Vance, and by other sources such as H.P. Lovecraft’s The Dreamlands, Michael Moorcock’s Elric novels, and The Travels of Marco Polo?
The game is set in a strange world of twin suns and seven moons that's overflowing with exotic peoples, places, and creatures. The time is the New Age, a Renaissance-like period 600 years after The Great Disaster, a cataclysm that marked the fall of the space wizards of the Archaen Age.
Talislanta has seas of glass, phytomantic bird-people, tattooed clone warriors, transmutation wizards who use quintessence to change storms into crystals, sindarans with two brains, warring cultists who have taken over entire nations, elemental demons, ice schooners running on glaciers, windships manned by astromancers, beastmen mutants riding two-headed mini-dragons, and a whole lot more stuff that's a combo of every prog-rock album cover you've ever seen.
Holy shit, this fucking radical. I need to read more Talislanta

Hey, great, enjoy! It's a fun game and a cool world.
If you run a game tell us how it goes.

Sure thing man, I'm really liking this, might even splurge and buy the actual book.

That might be more difficult than you think. It's out of print. The last company that tried to publish Tal 5th Edition went out of business 5 years ago.
You can, however, download the PDFs in high quality and print them yourself if you like.

Quite why SMS has yet to realise Print-on-Demand exists, we will never know.
Chase Butler

Samuel Rivera
I do. At Ryerson downtown. But last time we had 6 players so it's getting crowded. But if you think it's worth the trip...
