History of Talisman Part One | The Harris Era

In 1983 Bob Harris and Games Workshop released one of the most successful fantasy boardgames of all time - Talisman! Over the past 40 years the game has never been out of print and has received 4 editions: the first two of which I explore in this first history of the game’s development and release. Part 2 covering the later Games Workshop, Black Industries, Fantasy Flight editions, and Pegasus Spiele editions is coming soon! #talisman #gamesworkshop #boardgames #rpg #warhammer Chapters: 00:00 Open 00:30 Introduction 02:16 Bob Harris and Necromancer 04:53 1st Edition 06:29 2nd Edition 07:29 Expansions 12:45 Miniatures! 13:38 White Dwarf 14:22 Gary Chalk 15:23 The Magic & the Sword & the Cave & and the Polish Publisher 16:36 Video Games 17:14 The End of the Harris Era 17:55 Summary 18:50 Toad!
