I've never even heard of Talislanta before. But I'll take a look.
PbP?

It's what I was thinking of doing when I proposed it. BlitzDungeoneer seemed like he was interested in irc, though I'm not sure how that would work for my schedule.

So Wizards has released the second "Unearthed Arcana" article for D&D 5e. This one is about mass combat.

At least in my experience a majority of people have not and will not play anything more then monopoly. But for the niche crowd that does play actual boardgames...
You're implying that Monopoly isn't an actual board game.

I know what you're talking about, I just wanted to nitpick. :P

I wish I had better board games, but nobody I know likes games more complex than the big-name Hasbro ones. :(

It has been quite a few years since I've played Talislanta. I'd be up for a game of it, it was decently fun.

The "twist on morph" is a new mechanic called "megamorph".

No, really.

Oh, God, someone who's actually played the game. I hope you're okay with me most likely butchering the setting in my newbishness.

And do you have a preference for PbP or irc?

By 'quite a few' I mean like eight (Bonus, might not even have been second edition!) Don't expect me to know anything more then anyone else! (Although according to my computer I did something with the fifth edition of the game three years ago, but I don't recall that.)

Anyway, personally I'd be okay with ether play by post or irc, although I don't guarantee actually being available for a real time game, depending on when it is.

He's just jealous of Tasigur's playability.

On the downside, art large enough to discern the corpse makes clear that Slumgar Millionaire's throne is not atop a pile of bananas.

In related news, Wizards has announced a number of new mechanics that will be made evergreen in the near future:

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

They've accepted that they're running out of names for abilities.

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.
