× WELCOME TO TRASHDOME!

This is part of a series of bloody matches to the death. Show support for your favorite game so it will do better in the fight. You can support it by writing why you think its the better game and more importantly by betting (i.e. voting for) it. Please make it clear for when I check the bets later. You have until Friday when I tally the bets and declare the winner. I will reserve my bet for any tie-breakers.

Although you should be familiar with both games, there is no rule that says you have to have played both of them. The only rule in Trashdome is this;

Two games enter! One game leaves!

I'll have to sit in the rafters and throw rocks - I've only played Talisman the once for an average experience, and have never seen Runebound let alone played it.

Vote: Pass The Beer and let the blood flow.

The only blood that's going to be flowing is that of RUNEBOUND's.

Motheragod, what a sorry matchup. RUNEBOUND is like putting a drunken hobo in the ring with Muhammed Ali.

This Trashdome is really going to separate the true F:ATties from the posers...those who vote for a real AT classic- one of the cornerstone games of the genre- and those who vote for an incredibly shitty Martin Wallace game that feels so generic and half-assed from top to bottom I'm surprised he didn't try to pass it off as some kind of train game. Here's a secret- you don't have to buy RUNEBOUND or any of its expansions to roll a d20 over and over again while looking at a picture of a monster.

Besides, if you play RUNEBOUND, you're just getting swindled by Martin Wallace just like what happened with FRED. Except that he promised you a good game and wound up giving you a log of shit in a box.

Oh yeah- vote- TALISMAN. There can be only one.

Yeah in Talisman you get to roll a D6 while looking at pictures of monsters!

All I know about Runebound is it does look awfully bland, and there's a booby chick.

Talisman!

2d10 in Second Edition plus a bunch of d6's for movement. But yeah, rolling dice throughout a game sucks. Games with dice are for children and the like-minded. Adults are better off with something superior and more elegant like a rondel.

Vote: Talisman

But I do indeed enjoy them both, Talisman is just totally fucking awesome while Runebound is "fun".

Runebound - let's take Talisman, remove the player interaction, increase the down time as you watch the other players either roll dice for a while against some shitty monster or try and figure out where they can move to, strip any sort of fun out of it, and put it in the most generic fantasy universe possible.

Its a game whose only redeeming quality is that it can be played solitaire - because there's no interaction, and the shitty game takes too long to play with more than one person anyways.

I've only played Runebound, but Talisman has to be better.

I've played both Talisman and Runebound exactly once. I wasn't especially entertained by either game. Talisman was just really random and didn't leave a lasting impression on me. Runebound was more memorable, for the very annoying movement and combat systems.

I vote for Talisman.

Without Talisman, I doubt Runebound exists.

regardless of quality, there's no way that runebound could stand up against the mighty talisman in the trashdome. i'm going back to the eurodome for an interesting match up.

I hear FFG is releasing a new storage box for RUNEBOUND and its expansions following this Trashdome.
