Nice! Angua rocks.

Allthough in the Truth... William de Worde suspects Nobby Nobbs as being the... umm... thing... that Angua is

[Stroggy]

yeah
In Discworld Noir some people will also say a few things about it.
I believe you cane ven ask Nobby about it, but I think he replies with some lame answer to avoid the question

A wizards staff has a nob on the end...

Scents have a lot to do with Diskworld Noir. If you can't smell, you'd better wear extra deodorant. :wink:

I can't agree more!
Hogfather is one of my favourite discworldbooks (apart from those with the Watch)
I was known on a forum for some time as Mr Teatime.

there are quite a few hidden references to Australia in the last Continent.
Infact Pratchett's books are FILLED with references.
The Silicone Anti-Defamation League is, for example, a reference to the Jewish Anti-Defamation League.

And the Campaign for Equal Heights always makes me smile in Discworld

As for the games, Discworld 1 is feindishly difficult but very satisfying to complete. Discworld 2 is easier and funnier, and Discworld Noir (Discworld 3) is reckoned by some to be one of the best adventure games ever made, but it never got it's recognition due to bugs and due to the fact Perfect Entertainment (the makers of Discworld games) went bankrupt shortly after it's release. The really sad thing is they didn;t go bankrupt because the Discworld games don't sell (they sold really well) but because they had a legal arguement with Psygnosis, the publishers of 1 and 2, over who would publish 3. So when 3 was released it wasn;t released in big numbers and was never patched, so alot of people have had problems and never been able to fully appreciate what a brilliant game it is. (It's now finally available on a budget label in the UK if anyone is interested, but there is still no patch so you'll have to be quite determined to make it work; it's easiest to get it to work in Win98 but even then it can be hard)


Edit: If you want to buy Discworld Noir you can get it from Amazon UK , but they only have 5 copies left! It may have come to the end of its budget run.

Also, TheDiscworld.co.uk has a brilliant page of tech support. Unfortunately it's huge (reflecting the numerous bugs in the game) but there is alot of useful advice in there that might help anyone havig trouble getting the game running.

If any of you are really into discworld though, did you know they made a role playing game?

I have also seen it. It's based on the GURPS system. I never played it though. Anybody here ever tried it? I generally love RPG (both cRPG and tabletop) and the discworld series.

I never had any in-game problems with discworld noir myself.
I jsut can't make it work on windows xp anymore

Yeah, I heard it was very silly, and because of that hard to play... :wink:

I can imagine that especially for the GameMaster it's very dificult to come up with a funny and entertaining story. Mmmmm, maybe I should buy it just to see how and what. Then I'll let you know.

Gee, I never had any problems playing Discworld Noir at all. So far as the other two are concerned I know that the Discworld 2 download at HOTU is a CD Rip version, so I've never bothered about downloading it (although I did with the Discworld 1). Does anyone know if there's anywhere you can get a download of Discworld 2 that is not a "rip" version?

[Stroggy]

I've tried one yesterday... but it didn't work.
so far i've never found a working discworld 2 version
