This edition of Talislanta was designed under the Open
Game License and d20 System Trademark License by
Wizards of the Coast. As such, players familiar with
other d20 games should find the concepts and ideas
presented within readily identifiable. Great effort was
made by the game designers to fit the d20 system around
Talislanta and not vice-versa. Talislanta has a long and
respected history in the RPG industry and great care wastaken not to mess with the core of the world to force it
into a game system for which is was not designed.
Older fans of Talislanta will recognize many of the
same rules as previous editions of the game but will
also notice that some of the sacred cows of Talislanta
are gone. Archetypes for example are absent from this
edition in favor of the more standard class and level
system familiar to many gamers. That said, the classes,
races, skills and feats of Talislanta have been carefully
crafted around the world of Talislanta and thus are
custom made for the Talislanta player.
One distinction Talislanta has had for many years is theelegance of its magic system. Tal fans will be pleased to
see that not only have we kept this system largely intact
but we have defined it in d20 terms, again, bringing the
OGL and d20 STL to Talislanta and not vice versa.
Along with Core Rulebook I from Wizards of the Coast,
this book is all you will need to begin adventuring in
the fantastic and dangerous world of Talislanta. Again,
experienced Talislanta fans will notice decidedly fewer
character types than they may be familiar with from
previous editions. No need to worry, if your favorite
race or class didnt make it into this book, then it most
certainly will appear in one of the number of other booksand supplements we have planned for Talislanta.
In particular, due to space restrictions, only a handful
of creatures and monsters are presented in this book.
That said, players wanting more monsters should look
for the Talislanta Menagerie from Morrigan Press in
the coming months (early 2005).
For spellcasting players, the Codex Magicus will be an
invaluable tool, fully detailing Talislantan magic and
containing many new magical character classes. In
addition, several regional guides are also forthcoming
These will go into much greater detail of the variouslocales found on Talislanta.
Finally, for those looking for a more detailed overview
of the continent of Talislanta, pick up a copy of the
Chronicles of Talislanta (revised & annotated). Written
by the renowned wizard Tamerlin, the Chronicles detail
his travels around the continent and contain much more
detail then we could squeeze into the world guide
chapter of this book.
We hope you enjoy this new edition of Talislanta and
have hours of fun playing in this unique world in the
annals of roleplaying games.
