I've never heard of Talisman or Diplomacy. I'll have to look into them.
RPGs don't lend themselves very well to infrequent play. Too easy to forget the details and lose the ability to get into it. There I've heard of that can be short.
It is a game called "pull" - and it involves a Jenga tower. There's no stats, no equipment, no character sheets. It plays just like D&D. "My character performs ____" "My character looks for ____" "My character tries to pick up chicks in a bar" etc. etc. And the Game Master will select particularly important, difficult, etc. actions to ask you to pull a Jenga block from the bottom and put it on the top. It can get tense, because it actually depends upon player skill and the maliciousness of the game master. It is a dumbed down D&D so that you don't have to spend 3 hours picking out your character, their feats, their traits, roll for their skills, buy their gear, etc.
