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!
