There has been a bit of discussion recently over at the FFG forums and the Talisman Yahoo Group about the best ways to produce home made expansions and a couple of people have kindly agreed to make a tutorial detailing the way they make cards.

First up is industrious forum member Hallow Knight. You may have seen his work late last year when he created a fabulous "Hex" Halloween Lantern. So without further ado, here is how he does it...

Print out on large full-sheet label paper. Make it slightly larger than you need.

Attach the sheet to heavy card stock paper. Lining up is not important at this stage.

Trim the cards to size very carefully. Using a cheap ruler cutter works well.

Print backs on large full-sheet label paper. Don't remove the labels yet. Trim to size.

Attach the backs to the trimmed fronts. You now have a label/card/label sandwich.

Trim down to the size of the card back. Trim down the corners as well.

You're done!! Now you have your own little expansion!

There are a couple more tutorials to put online which will hopefully not be too far off, one of which destroys a real copy of Talisman as part of the process and another which uses double-sided printing. If you have any ideas you would like to share with the Talisman community about this or any other aspect of expansion creation then let me know and we shall see about getting them online!
