"Talisman Timescape", loosely based on the "Warhammer 40,000" science fiction setting, was released in 1988. The Timescape added a new board, representing a linked chain of different dimensions, as well as new heroes and objects with a science-fiction theme. Characters may enter the Timescape by encountering a Warp Gate, stumbling upon the Horrible Black Void, or by visiting special people such as the Enchantress or the Warlock. Characters cannot encounter each other while in the Timescape—they have been teleported to an entirely different reality. To move, players roll a die and consult a table to see where they are drawn to next; or, if they possess a Warp Belt, they may choose their destination. The Timescape can only be traversed in a clockwise manner; that is, players are drawn along "warp lines" from one area to the next and cannot back up.
