I have so much speculation for Wizards of Morcar/Zorgon. To sum up my basic predictions, I think we may see a new related hero pack just before it releases (Original Knights came before FH, Rouge Hair before MOTM, & Monk before ATOH) Ogres Hord definitely messed with my predictions as we didn't get a Female Dwarf or a new Dwarf Class. Instead we got the Monk & new version's of the Druid so who knows what we will get before Wizards. I think my original prediction of getting a new mage class expansion & a female Wizard will likely be subverted after what we got in the last one but this is likely for the best as there keeping us guessing. I expect it will be fun regardless of what they do.

The intention is to continue with the same heroes. For expansions like Frozen Horror you will have a tough time if you don't as the difficulty ramps.

As at one point both Talisman and DungeonQuest were being produced by FFG, it's not outside the realms of possibility that if Talisman works out for Avalon Hill they may get a crack at DungeonQuest too. As long as they took it back to the original design it would be a winner.

Could this be the Avalon Hill version of the Dwarf Quest? The unreleased Wizard and Dwarf quests had Giant Spider enemies and a female Dwarf hero respectively, so that would possibly rule out a 1:1 remake of those unreleased packs if they are releasing Giant Spiders in a box that isn't themed around the wizard. The Dwarf Quest was also supposed to have a Caveworm and Stone Golem enemy type, I could see that giant snake and the gorilla filling those roles. I believe you are right though that this could be a new class being represented on the box, but I am in the line of thinking that they are both Dwarves.

I don't disagree with that - I always prefer to have the names of the decks on the reverse - but I don't think it's too bad with Talisman, as you basically only have one massive adventure deck which is way bigger than any other deck, and then a small deck of items to buy and a small deck of spells. I think the sword on the items and the eye on the spells are distinctive enough.

Well, I cannot agree with you concerning Talisman. Artwork is very generic, like AI generated. Cards are especially ugly with text poorly placed. The graphic on the board is quite nice, but its a very strange design choice to have everything directed towards the centre of the board. Basically you see the part of the board closest to you upside down. So I was excited about the new edition but now I’m rather thinking about skipping it.

@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring

Little ramble - in no way meant as an attack on you - but something that has been on my mind for the past few days. I would hate to be an artist these days. Talentless hacks steal and manipulate your work, while everyone else accuses you of using AI anyway. I don't know if Talisman is or isn't using AI - I hope it isn't - and I think being wary of AI creep is reasonable and we should push back against it, but I also think we need to be careful about when we label art as "probably AI". For example, when Deck of Lost Souls came out I saw people saying "this art is weird, it's probably AI," now for Talisman I am seeing people saying "this art is generic, it's probably AI." Again, caution isn't a bad thing, but I do think we need to be careful that we don't end up making things harder for real artists by labeling work without just cause or evidence. Of course, if someone can dig up the evidence then that's fair game as far as I am concerned and should be called out.
