It’s about time I come clean with all of you with why I enjoy writing about games so much. Sure, the money and fame are great, but what really gets me going is being able to boss around a bunch of writers and then not pay them. Yeah, it’s as great as it sounds. The other nice thing is getting to know people in the biz. Devs are pretty great, and when I put out a call for Christmas help this year, a bunch were happy to comply. Today’s generous donor of codes is Nomad Games of Talisman fame.

Nomad has been nice enough to send along ten codes for Talisman: Digital Edition and we’re here to pass them along to you, our readers. These codes will work for the PC/Mac edition via Steam and are easy for you to grab. Simply be one of the first ten to comment on this post and include Talisman in some form or fashion. I’ll send along the code posthaste.

UPDATE: We’ll also hand out codes if you message us at our Twitter account, @StatelyPlay. Send us a tweet there with the word Talisman in it!

Good Luck!

Just taking the opportunity to say that I like what you are doing with the site. It is great reading all of the articles that you have been posting so far and I look forward to following the site in 2017. I’m not sure what you can do to publicize the site a bit, but I wish you luck so that it can continue.

As to the current topic, I haven’t played Talisman since way back in the first and 2nd editions of the board game. It was fun once upon a time, but I’m not sure if the game play holds up for me in comparison with euro games. I would be interested in finding out, though. If you still have any codes left, I would be happy to lighten the burden of all of those heavy bits you are lugging around.

Awesome…
Thank you guys… You are the best… But you probably know that already :slight_smile:

Excellent! It’s great that your penchant results in goodness for others.

I never did pick up Talisman - there was always stuff ahead of it in both the “impulse buy” and the “considered purchase” queues. So this is a handy way to remedy that. Thank you!

Thank you for this giveaway! Talisman series are fantastic, and you feel like you play a real board game in front of you with an interesting story/characters. The expansions are also worth it.

I hope I’m not too late to join the giveaway, if there’s still a spare key.

Talisman is the best implemented way to bring a role playing game into a board game. If you love role playing you will love Talisman.

I’m probably in the minority here, but I have yet to enjoy a game of Talisman (I’ve played it about 12 times between in person and digital). My go to rpgish board game has been Descent for a long time (my first proper board game was Heroquest). Talisman always seems to weigh too heavy in the frustration from RNG and snowball departments.
