It didn’t have the usual Tolkien-esque trappings of games like \u003cb\u003eD\u0026amp;D\u003c\/b\u003e; in fact, ads for the game proudly proclaimed, “No Elves”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original \u003cb\u003eTalislanta\u003c\/b\u003e RPG was inspired by the fantasy novels of Jack Vance, and by other sources such as H.P. Lovecraft’s \u003ci\u003eThe Dreamlands of Unknown Kadath\u003c\/i\u003e, Michael Moorcock’s Elric novels, and \u003ci\u003eThe Travels of Marco Polo\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe game was set in a strange world of twin suns and seven moons that seemed to be practically overflowing with exotic peoples, places, and creatures. The time was the New Age, a Renaissance-like period that started a thousand or more years after \u003ci\u003eThe Great Disaster\u003c\/i\u003e, a cataclysm that marked the fall of the once-great \u003ci\u003eArchaen Age\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring this era, Talislanta was still a dangerous place, especially in the wilderness regions that lay beyond the walled cities. But for many who lived in the New Age, there was also a sense of hope, and the possibility of greater things to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThat Was Now.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis Is Then...\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTalislanta: the Savage Land\u003c\/b\u003e is a prequel to the original \u003cb\u003eTalislanta\u003c\/b\u003e game. It takes place just a short time after \u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eGreat Disaster\u003c\/i\u003e, which the inhabitants of this era refer to as \u003ci\u003eThe Fall\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis period is like a nightmarish version of our own Dark Ages. All knowledge of spell-casting has been lost; maps are nearly non-existent, and much of the world is unknown. Most of those who survived \u003ci\u003eThe Fall\u003c\/i\u003e are illiterate, and governed by superstition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are no nations, city states, or even laws. In their place, tribes of warriors, nomads, slavers, and refugees struggle to survive in a hostile wasteland, torn by centuries of warfare and a malevolent magical maelstrom known as the Gyre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis edition of Talislanta: The Savage Land uses the d20 ruleset of the 5th edition of the worlds most popular fantasy RPG. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"clear\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"clear\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Nocturnal Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32572180561999,"sku":"CHA7400","price":31.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1380\/9101\/products\/238719.jpg?v=1595682693","url":"https:\/\/leisuregames.live\/products\/talislanta-the-savage-land-5th-edition","provider":"Leisure Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
