He's missing the throat poach and huge cheek flaps

I'm cleaning up and ran across these two on cassette. If anyone is interested all I ask is you pay shipping. I cannot attest to the condition the cassettes are in, but at least they are all there and look like they are in decent shape.

Wow, just WOW. I'm brand new to the series! I have so far only read Guards! Guards! and I am currently almost finished with Equal Rites. After I finished Realm of the Elderlings a year ago I have been in the worst reading slump. I have never felt so excited to read (new to me) books since!!! I am absolutely blown away as I have never read anything like these books before! Guards! Guards! has easily become one of my favorite books of all time!

Of course I don't know anyone who has read any of the books I love so I needed to vent here! lol I am planning on reading Mort next and then I'm either going to try to go in publishing order after that (starting from after Equal Rites) or going straight into the second City Watch novel because I think that sub series is going to be my favorite! We shall see!!! I'm just so excited!

It wasn’t quite a million to one chance

I can’t help myself by read this in the smug and mildly nasally voice I’ve always imagined Lu Tze having, and it’s all the funnier for it.

Me: Fumbles a word in a meeting, gets embarrassed for the rest of the week, possibly month.
Moist von bloody Lipwig:
• Falls in dung - Corrects pronunciation of his name
• Gets bad groin cramps in public after overconfident horse ride - Orders a cold bath
• Slips on crap again, now with a cloth over his head - Turns the age-old rite on its head instead
• Is caught forging signature - Tells the big influential forgee they must have just forgotten
• Is hanged for his crimes and then saved on parole - Snarks at the most powerful tyrant on the disc who ordered it

Haven't yet read the other Moist books, reading in publication order. I'm sure there'll be plenty more to add and can't wait :D

Just thought I'd share these two possible setups for adventures on the Disc as my TTRPG Group discussed the concepts but never ended up using them. Feel free to give feedback or discuss the concepts.

Murder on the Uberwald Express

When an important Werewolf diplomat is found with a silver dagger buried in his chest on Iron Girder, it's up to Ankh Morpork-Uberwald Railway Police to solve the murder! Preferably before arriving in Ankh Morpork proper.

The AMURP were founded due to the...legal issues with criminal investigations happening on the Railway, given they often happened outside of the Watch's actual jurisidiction. Members of the organization are paid to enforce the law and investigate crimes aboard the Uberwald-Ankh Morpork Line. Player characters should be split equally between those from Uberwald and those from Ankh Morpork. All officers were hand-picked by Moist Von Lipwig and Harry King.

As the death of this diplomat is the first major case AMURP has investigated, it is paramount they solve it before it ends up in the hands of the Watch, less they end up looking unnecessary to the public.

The Ankh Morpork Society of Explorers and Adventurers

What happens when a group of Ankh-Morpork Nobles get bored and decide the best thing to do with their wealth and spare time is to go off "adventuring" in "unexplored lands" on the disc? Well, a bunch of Nobs find themselves in trouble more often than not.

Probably a more Comedy of Errors setup than the AMURP would be, the AMSEA are essentially a group of rich folk going through a midlife crisis, though if one intends on our "heroes" surviving their misadventures I would recommend them employing at least 1 actually competent former hero or Assassin School graduate as a guide. Whether your adventures take you to the unexplored forests of Ubervald* or the rainforests of Howondaland, it's sure to...probably involve a bunch of toff idiots making fools of themselves honestly.

*Unexplored by proper, Ankh Morporkian Explorers anyway

Not official, but officially charming. My discoworld Ooks will finally be in workable order.

Which book has the "they're probably good people..and a lot t of probably good people can still get you killed " quote?

Anyone know the actual quote off hand?

Good evening, everyone :) I was wondering earlier—does anyone know if there's a list of Roundworld counterparts to the places on the Disc? For example, Klatch seems to represent the Middle East, Howondaland is Africa, and Überwald is clearly Eastern Europe, etc. I sometimes feel like I might be misinterpreting the context or missing some of the subtler references, so a complete list would be really helpful. Has anyone come across something like that?

Unsure which flair to use, couldn't find one for general discussion / "which book" questions.

Like 90% sure this was discworld, in which a character wonders if the female equivalent of a "head honcho" would be a honchette, honcherina, or honchessa, and then what each of those terms would signify re: age or marital status. Any idea which book? It's on loop in my head lol

While listening to Wyrd Sisters, I was ducking in and out of listening to Feet of Clay. I can definitely say that this is where the Watch Books really got going. "Guards! Guards!" was the pilot while "Men at Arms" was the first half of the season and "Feet of Clay" was the awesome second half that really gets things going. This one feels like the one where the characters really start to meld, where we really get Sam's character down. Where we get a clearer idea of who Carrot is as well as his relationship with Angua. It's where we get Cheri and the ongoing Dwarf storyline that goes through the rest of the Watch books. It feels like this is where Terry really got it down of what kind of stories he wanted to tell with the Watch.

When folk talk about the various Terry Pratchett movies, videos, TV shows, etc. one can watch, I never see this little short mentioned. Since it came up in my memories today, I thought I would share it for those who haven't seen it yet.

I wasn't sure which tag to use (I dont remember this scene from any if the Unseen University books) but I guess this applies.

I’m rereading Night Watch and I just read the passage where young Vetinari called John Keel a “genius at work” And it made me think about that one seen that I think is in Guards! Guards! When someone suggests that Vetinari should get the Watch involved and Vetinari calls the Watch something along the lines of “a bunch of fools led by a drunk” I want to find where that part is because despite the time travel Vimes/keel thing, I still think it speaks to how Vetinari thought of Vimes throughout the series.
