On behalf of all the crew, welcome and thanks for dropping by our website.

What do we do here?

We bring worlds to life. Through high quality roleplaying games, gaming accessories, or any way we can really.

There are three product lines at Talisman Studios right now:

	Gamescapes is a line of high art gaming accessories, from map tiles to story cards, plus board games that use the maps and cards.
	Shaintar is an epic fantasy roleplaying game that uses the award-winning Savage Worlds rules to deliver an amazingly rich and detailed setting.
	Suzerain is a roleplaying rules system which allows you to run games in any setting, any genre. We're currently showcasing the rules with books about Untamed Empires - a world of swashbuckling, monsters and magic.

Where is X?

I wanted to take a moment to introduce you to features of the site. You'll notice along the top of your browsing window some 'tabs'. This page is the 'Welcome' tab.

The 'Forum' is where you can discuss almost anything with other community members and the Talisman family. We're pretty involved with our fans and other creative people, so don't be shy about saying hello.

The 'Journals' tab is where the members of the Talisman family share their thoughts. It's broken down into further sub-tabs so you can look up specific information easier. On 'Suzerain' MMK takes care of the latest Suzerain developments, Ace is your man for all manner of fun on the 'Gamescapes' tab, and SPF stands for Sean Patrick Fannon, the master of all things 'Shaintar'. If you are looking for the online world book information, look no further the this category and use the categories menu to make navigating easier. These are the three line developers, but you'll also find 'Illustrators' and 'Writers' areas where other people share their ideas, and a 'News' journal with any important updates on Talisman Studios.

The 'Shop' tab shouldn't need much explanation - any Talisman product can be bought here. Latest releases appear here a week before anywhere else and it costs you less to buy from us directly too! Yes, we do sell on other sites but we really appreciate it when you use our store - we get to keep a larger slice of the cost and make more money even though we charge less. This helps us feed and train our army of mutant monkeys. Plus pay the rent, not get evicted, and keep the electricity company happy. All of which is important if we're going to carry on producing these fine things.

The 'Treasure' tab is where you can go to see galleries of art from our various sources. As a bonus, it's also where you can grab all sorts of cool stuff for FREE! Go! Go grab goodies!

Who are we?

Talisman Studios is a group of like-minded creative types, working together because we were hoping to get a cute uniform. Just kidding. We work together because Talisman is a community where the creatives actually have a say. We get fair royalties for what we create. Nobody steals our intellectual property rights. All good things that are all too rare.

If you're an illustrator, writer, editor, graphic designer, composer or other talented individual who's also a 'nice person' then we'd love to hear from you about joining the community.

If you're a visitor looking at what we're making, then please feel free to browse. If you choose to support our work with a purchase, then we thank you in advance for your kindness.
