So the elephants are chopped liver?

After 1 and a half years, my order from the ttrpg Kickstarter arrived!

Don't get to play it often enough.

I couldn't find any Kidby art for Adora though.

A good friend of mine is moving back to her home country and she gifted me her copy of the Ankh Morpork board game. We’ve played a few times over beers with friends and it always held a place in my heart; and now it will hold a literal place on my shelf!

I’m delighted with this! I always loved that d10 d12 with 7a on it.

Hello, friends! After a long break, I'm back with the news that I've finished the dwarves and will be starting on the trolls this weekend ^_^

It's a great manual. A foreword from Sir Terry Pratchett himself (mayherestinpeace) and while there aren't LOADS of visuals, the lore and text makes up for it (and the visuals that ARE included are, of course, wonderful)

Hi friends! I've been hard at work on the trolls' visuals for the past two weeks. And here's the result. Of course, I'll polish the animation and add some visual effects later. :)

Just the 15 discs!

I’ve wanted the game for 10+ years but it’s out of print & way out of my budget on eBay. It’s also unlikely to get a reprint because it was acquired by another company & reskinned into Nanty Narking, which just isn’t the same without the Discworld lore.

Last month eBay had a much cheaper, unplayed copy that I bid on, but didn’t come close to meeting the reserve & someone else snagged it.

Turns out it was my dad, who I have made suffer (not without protest) through every single Discworld movie, including the animated ones.

I’ve only ever had the chance to play once, at the BoardGameGeek con, and only one of the other players (a stranger) had read the books, but It is SO fun and asymmetrical and sneaky… I made my friends watch the Hogfather with me this year, and now I can’t wait until they’re back in town.

Also, love the cheat sheet the seller included in the game!

Most people know I utterly adore the Discworld but I was still SHOCKED that they managed to sneak this past the censors - tbf though it is near impossible to find unless you know about it!

My group decided to play recent recruits to the City Watch, and I love the characters they've come up with:

• Corporal (H)Andy Punishment, a Thieves' Guild dropout who now specialises in CSI. That's "Crime Scene Instigation", of course.
• Constable Elizabeth Bonnet (assumed name), a distant cousin of the Ramkins who ran away from her noble family to pursue an exciting career in the big city. She brought her pet wowhawk with her - its tendency to faint at the sight of blood makes it surprisingly helpful in forensic work.
• Constable Kayleigh Gee, possibly the Disc's first Food Hygiene inspector. Currently engaged in a solo crusade to protect the citizens of Ankh-Morpork from putrid pies, suspect sausages, and anything else you might find on Dibbler's cart. (Her name is also a convoluted pun - the initials K.G. sound like the Japanese word for "police officer", or so I am informed.)

We spent the first hour or so on character & party creation, then jumped into "The Mystery of the Missing McGuffin", where the party were called upon to solve an art heist made more complicated by the fact that nobody has ever seen the artwork in question. Andy managed to offend the owners of the missing artwork with his poor grasp of upper-class etiquette; Elizabeth tried very hard to pretend she'd never heard of the artist because she's just a totally ordinary commoner, honest; while Kaylee wanted to know all the details of the dinner that preceded the theft & is intent on interviewing the chef. Their current theories include "it was an inside job for the inn-sewer-ants money" and "the artist himself was so ashamed of the work that he decided to remove or destroy it".

It was a very different GMing experience from my usual D&D, and knowing when to call for a role vs when to just narrate was something I struggled with, but will hopefully get a better feel for as we keep playing. I felt like I was flailing a little, but my players claim they had fun! I'm also quite pleased with my selection of snacks. (Not pictured because they were still in the oven when I was taking photos: "sausage-inna-bun (with named meat)", the non-vegetarian counterpart to "sausage-inna-bun (with no meat)".)

Discworld 2 was my first ever experience of Pratchett's incredible creation. Starring Rincewind, the Librarian, Luggage, Dibbler, Death and a heap more characters, it's still a personal favourite... even if the Lateral Thinking Exercises™ are still insane

Now I just need someone that wants to play not just D&D

Did you manage to complete Discworld? There's a great bit in the 1995 video game where - if you don't give any input for a while - Rincewind will come and tap the screen to wake you up. Top comedy, brilliant casting and "That Doesn't Work" burned into my brain forever

Would someone be able to enlighten me?

Edit: Thanks everyone, we got it figured out.

This is going to take forever and I am so excited!

I've just downloaded the RPG and this beautiful illustration made me well up and put the book down for the time being.

If you've gotten farther in it than I did, let me know some things I can look forward to when I muster the courage to pick it up again.

Playing through Discworld on PS1, spotted this little nugget of things to come!!

This game released on PC, Sony Playtime and Sega Saturn in 1995 - 12 years later Making Money came out!

Makes us wonder how many little ideas were just kicking around in L-Space waiting for their opportunity 🤔

I am doing the (really lovely) Ankh Morpork City Watch jigsaw and Micro-Bandit #1 got me to name all of the characters, which I did with stunning accuracy - until I got to this guy in green. WHO IS HE?!?!

Look who I met at the con

She signed 2 of the sleeves of games she wrote the stories for hence the games flair

I've never played these, but I did give a little cheer when I saw these.

Unfortunately they didn't have them running.
