I'm in the same boat as free freddy when it comes to not having read the books. If any of you are really into discworld though, did you know they made a role playing game? I saw it in the store I work in awhile ago, it seemed pretty popular, if not very funny.

never heard of it
Last game about discworld was an adventure game called Discworld Noir

[Malchior]

Speaking of Discworld Noir...

Anyone played it? I've seen it available for download at HOTU but it's so bloody big that it'd take days on my connection.

Is it worth it?

[Havell]

In a word: YES. Discworld Noir is a beautiful game, from the witty dialogue to the dark and brooding atmosphere of the streets of Ankh-Morpork to the gripping storyline that will keep you going right until the end of the game. Added to the genius concept on combining and using clues to solve puzzles. I don't care if you have to rob your 90 year-old grandmother of her pension to buy broadband to download this game but GET IT.

[Durak]

I bought it.

The reason why this game (Not pc by the way...) is that they are fanatical fans of Discworld. They will buy anything written by Terry Pratchett or has the Discworld logo on it. The RPG is good fun IF you are Terry himself, but not for anyone else.

The reason? There is only 1 person in this world today who can use his mind to go THROUGH logic and out the other side! For the rest of the population, the game is just confusing and senseless.

Hehehe, so true. I'm glad you're the only one who caught that, I guess I gotta be more specific when I talk about "role-playing game" I meant like a book to role-play table top? Hope that clears things up,

hmmm
never seen it.

i've got discworld Noit but I can't play it.
Its quite an amazing game.
If there is any game that, I feel, is underated: its discworld noir.
I have the game on cd's here but I can't seem to start it up
but I remember it has quite a long plot (from what I remember it was a bit confusing since it was a typical Noir plot mixed with discworld)
It wasn't written by Pratchett, but all the characters and enviroments were captured brilliantly.
Too bad we didn't see more of the Patrician (you only hear him talk during the game)
And just when you think its an average fantasygame set on the Discworld BANG
You die.
But its what happens afterwards thats unique I'm not going to spoil it for someone thinking of playing it, so i'll just say this: smells are clues too.

EDIT: oh and I don't recommend getting it off an abandonware site
It probably doesn't have any movies and voice files in it.
and without that...
well: without movies you won't understand a thing
and without voices and sounds it just loses A LOT of its charm

[Tom Henrik]

Smells are clues?

You mean Foul Ol' Ron?

[Stroggy]

No i'm talking about what happens after you die
you become like Angua
