Hi there, the forum is for anything and everything discworld related. However if you have played the games and not read the books you deserve to be shot .

READ THE BOOKS!

Havelock

No, if you've played the games but not read the books you are thrown in to the scorpion pit with "Read in Books" written in it.

C@non

:eek: /me runs away ..
I`m looking for a book to read, maybe i will try and look for it, what is the title Discworld? like the game, from terry patchet (dont kill me if spelt wrong )

Macseamusa

what are the games like, board games or do u play them on your computer???????

jongore

Guards! Guards! would be a good book to start on, but your guarenteed a laugh with any of Terrys books.:D

C@non

Oh the games a really really good, they are computer games made a wile back, u have rincewind ankmopork if u just search for discworlk 1 and 2 and a 3rd one is discworld noir.
I loved them a lot, kept me going for months!


Cool jongore i`ll have a look for them books!

The games are a strange mix of several books sewn together. Good for a laugh, particularly the stoning in DW2. ("Dead parroting sketch" )

The books are somehow even funnier.

The Colour Of Magic and The Light Fantastic are the first two, I feel they were the most blatant pisstake of fantasy in the series. They are a little strange compared to the complex world the later books develop, but dear god, they're funny...

Havelock

Read The Colour Of Magic and The Light Fantastic first, then the Witches, then the Death/Susan So Heit novels,then the others that aren't the Guards books, then the Guards books. Best way to do it I found. Guards are the best written, character development etc.

Just a bit o'advice.

Ah, i remember my first disc novel. It was "pyramids". I thought the idea of an assassins guild rocked. Still one of my fav books, but the guards books are def the best.

Commissar

Couldn't agree with you more:cool:

Macseamusa

and where can i gt these games??

Sarky

They're fairly old now. Mail order is probably your best bet. Unless someone here wants to sell them?

shock

I've had a look around. The first one is the rarest and the most recent "Discworld Noir" might still be on some shelves in some shops but the internets probably your best bet.

Macseamusa

if i remeber correctly a mate of mine told me there was an online discworld game and you cud interact with other ppl. he was stuck in the library i think. is there someting like that kicking around?. i guess ill have to look

Sarky

Yes, there's a Discworld MUD somewhere on the net, I understand it can be rather addictive, according to a friend. Should be listed on Google, no problem. Although firewalls and that sort of thing could be a problem if you use college computers.

Macseamusa

ok well ill give it a go. hopefully firewalls wont affect the game.

<edit>
ok so i went and look at a discworld MUD, seems like a lot of fun, but i cant play it. i need telnet or java something or other...... oh well.
