But, what type of game are GM's planning for Discworld? Something that follows some book? Like a tourist and a failed wizard? Or maybe something like CSI: Ankh Morpork?

When I ran a Discworld campaign, it was about the Lancre Watch, as King Verence tried again to modernize his tiny remote kingdom. That provided room for a lot of comedy and some serious subtexts, which I thought had the proper Pratchettian flavor.

I don't know if it's an issue with just my copy or something people generally are having.

My covers are fine. The paper of the book itself is slightly warped, but that's a natural result of the book being shipped to me during some very damp weather. The inside of my home is very dry due to forced heat so it's already recovering.

I just completed my long (3,000 word!) review of Discworld Roleplaying Game on my blog. Short version: a very good product, excellent for some audiences and worth exploring for others.

Never mind the author put up a link.

Many thanks!

I am a little nervous sharing it. I wanted some miles under my belt before I started sharing my posts on my blog. I'm not a writer (I'm good at the maths) so keep that in mind while reading it! I'm submitting a version to RPG.net and will post on TheRPGSite as well.

Also if anybody is in Milwaukee I'm running a demo in a few weeks.

...

There are reviewers who are good at polished prose and reviewers who are good at analytical discussion. Both types of reviews are useful.

Thanks for the review!

Thanks also. Let us know when it goes up on those sites.

I will be posting a review of Discworld on my blog next week. (Which means I should really finish reading it this weekend...)
