The Talisman (1983) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Talisman is a 1983 fantasy novel by Stephen King and Peter Straub. The plot of the King/Straub novel is not a reworking of the earlier Walter Scott book also titled The Talisman, although there is one oblique reference to "a Sir Scott Walter Scott novel". Accompanied by a werewolf named Wolf and his friend Richard, Jack must retrieve the Talisman before it falls in the hands of his deceased father's evil accomplice Morgan Sloat. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/The_Talisman_(1983)   (319 words)

Talisman - The background by Bob Harris I have no idea what plans there may be for Talisman in the future, but it is difficult to believe that a game which has proved so successful all over the world will not one day return to delight a new generation of gamers. Production of the finished Talisman game had been running behind schedule so that all I had seen of it up until now were some black and white xeroxes of the artwork. Workshop produced another in-house expansion set called 'The Talisman Adventure', which was unfortunately filled with errors that could easily have been avoided if they had allowed me the opportunity to edit it. www.harris-authors.com /talisman.html   (1579 words)
