No one is actually dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away...

No I am pretty sure he is actually dead.

Biologically speaking

Does this mean Hitler has achieved immortality?

...

Well, yea

who is this?

Colonel Sanders.

An overrated author that Veeky Forums faps to.

memetic lichdom is a thing

I swear on me mum mate.

I don't remember.

>WHAT CAN THE HARVEST HOPE FOR, IF NOT THE CARE OF THE REPAER MAN
Still one of my favourite books/quotes

9/11

you won't.
If you've also read Gaiman there will be parts you can tell is one author or the other. But they worked well together.

...

I can't really think of a lot of examples of those. The only one off the top of my head is the villain from Melty Blood

Are his collabs good ? Meaning the books he did with other authors. I literally read every book in the disc world series but I can't bring myself to read the collabs in a fear they're not as good as the DW

Long Earth books are really good IMO

GNU Terry Pratchett

Good Omens was some good shit.

Didn't really care for Long Earth. Baxter didn't let him have his moments too often.

>tfw that makes Hitler immortal

I will fucking cut you

rolling for initiative

there is a program that is doing that.

going to disagree about Long Earth. It's decently well written, and you can see a few points where Pratchett's voice shines through, but for me their was never a conflict to latch onto.
At least the first book felt that way. Never started the second, because it didn't get it's hooks into me.

Good Omens is great. The first Science of Diskworld books is pretty good, the later ones fall off pretty sharply.
Dark Side of the Sun (TP's early science fiction book) is very interesting, but it's a little rough. You can see the origins of his style and voice, and it's a good read for fans for that reason.

Good Omens is pretty great

So is he Gary Gygax or something?

Bye Terry, bye Iain.

I love you both.

Susan is best girl

Death of birds? More like Death by birds! Amirite?

I recently re-read my first discworld book, a German translation of Reaper Man. It's a dog-eared, yellowing mess and I love it dearly.
Even over two decades later the scene in the UU with the exploding chandelier makes me nearly piss myself.

Long Earth is OK, it's fine if you like SF.

My problem with it is that most of the characters are insufferable, and Baxter doesn't seem to get it until Utopia, which wraps up way to nicely.

Don't read Maskerade, then.

My fave of his is Theif of Time. Gotta love Susan in that.

what does it matter if you're alive or not, if you cannot enjoy it? if the is NO YOU to enjoy it?

yeah you gotta love Susan in general, Soul Music is still a personal favourite

You're on.

Rolled 4 (1d100)

Rolling against crow.

Not enough crows for a murder.

...

I'm personally surprised their isn't much porn of her

...

Pic related.

You tried user

Ya got shanked

The fucking Captain of the Enterprise of course.

Nation was a good book.

As much as Terry Pratchett deserves to be celebrated, there is no discussion of traditional games in this thread.

...

...

Fine then. Any one have any experience with playing the diskworld supplement to GURPS co written by the late great man himself?

Discworld quotes which serve as good character inspiration?

I've always thought "The three rules of the Librarians of Time and Space are: 1) Silence; 2) Books must be returned no later than the date last shown; and 3) Do not interfere with the nature of causality." is good inspiration for an order of wizards, it paints a very clear image

>Discworld quotes which serve as good character inspiration?
On the whole, the unpleasant carvings and occasional disjointed skeletons he passed held no fears for Hrun. This was partly because he was not exceptionally bright while being at the same time exceptionally unimaginative but it was also because odd carvings and perilous tunnels were all in a day’s work. He spent a great deal of time in similar situations, seeking gold or demons or distressed virgins and relieving them respectively of their owners, their lives and at least one cause of their distress.

Some autist who wrote Reddit: the '''young adult's''' book series, but then got alzheimer's and died so we all have to pretend he was God's gift to literature.

A cool old guy who wrote funny and occasionally thoughtful fantasy novels.

I hope someone can heal your heart one day, user.

Terry Pratchett was never that good.

Small Gods was pretty okay, but much of his work was derivative, of others and himself.

It was one of his best, yes.

Based mod

Thank you, Memey Pratchett.

Good Omens is fun.

The Long Earth, whilst interesting in concept is ruined by Baxter's ability to turn the most exciting scenario utterly dull and dry. I suppose I should respect the guy in some crooked way. Not many people can write a scene where a giant alt-evolution sea crocodile attacks a zeppelin controlled by a Buddhist AI in such a boring way.

Reading the original short story by Terry was sort of heart breaking though. It was quite good and left me wondering about the neat scifi books we might've gotten if Discworld hadn't turned into such a jackpot.

...

Please don't leave me Terry.

I read your books when I was 10. I played your PC game. Picking up Thud after years away from the Disc made me open my heart. Meeting you was supposed to be a big day in my life.

But... you're gone now.

God damn his arms were even hairier than mine.

He should have got to play the Librarian :(

Moot

Reminder Soul Music had a cartoon adaptation, where Death is played my Christopher Lee

Don't worry, he's up there having a pleasant chat with Fred Rogers and Bob Ross.

Lee played Death in every adaptation.

Not Hogfather

Oh, I thought that was him. Oops

In that case, I'm surprised they did have Lee for it.

user. you made me cry with this picture.

By the time of the Hogfather Lee was pretty busy, and being pretty highly paid as a matter of course - the Soul Music adaptation was '96, Lee got a massive career revival in 2001, Hogfather was '06

A little, with a bad GM.

What was it like?

>tfw just remembered that Lee is gone too

I dunno what to tell you, it was years ago and I have mostly forgotten how the system worked.

I miss that beautiful, brilliant son of a bitch. [strike]Faust[/strike] Eric was the first book of his I ever read and I got hooked HARD.

I never got into his standalone works much, and after a point the Rincewind stories didn't gel with me very well. (the once with Mad Max-ian tropes was my last)

But if you diss the Watch or the Lancre witches Coven, I will find your mother's grave and FUCK HER CORPSE in FRONT OF YOU.

Also, glad he didn't die painfully, as he would have done if he'd heard about Marty Stu and his multiverse abortion that asserted HE was a better author than the departed Pratchett.
>Still have PTSD from that...

>Also, glad he didn't die painfully, as he would have done if he'd heard about Marty Stu and his multiverse abortion that asserted HE was a better author than the departed Pratchett.

What? I haven't heard of this before.

Goddamn, I'd forgot that the cover artist took Twoflower's having "four eyes" literally.

Prepare yourself for a helldive, bitch.

Worst DM/That guy in the universe, who used the excuse that his DMPC could use OOC knowledge of the players actions to fuck with them, because he was psychically connected to his "multiverse avatar".

End of the third and final thread/tale, it's revealed that among the universes he decided to "Improve" (Conquer and Rapetrain) was Discworld. Because OF COURSE his DMPC was charismatic enough to have the Auditors of Reality work for him.

Yeah, the unspoken implication that any universe he included in his setting is one that he can improve and thus he is a better author than the original creator, was met by all of the goddamn rage when people realized he was dissing Pratchett with his "Vampire-Shapeshifter-Psionic who dual-wields lightsaber katana's TOTALLY ORIGINAL CHARACTER"

...

What always gets me about that one is that Death has his sword with him, the one reserved for kings.

I remember a buddy of mine talking about the sword that Terry Pratchett owned. He apparently forged his own goddamn sword out of meteorite iron for shits and giggles, and they were joking about that being a genuine magical sword.

Then someone else brought up World of Darkness: Geist and how that sword would definitely be some kind of...artifact? I don't know, it's WoD:G Related, and has to due with using a famous person's stuff, like Wyatt Earp's guns or something.

He was getting knighted and felt that as a knight, he should have a sword

So he went and made one himself using thunderbolt iron

If there is a game you play that could possible use these miniatures, buy them.

Even if there isn't, buy them. Paint them. Tell stories.

They aren't crazy expensive. Don't order takeout for a week or two, or work a few extra shifts. They will be worth it.

what a fucking madman
I miss him

You know, I'm surprised that we didn't get more human Greebo after Maskerade.

If anyone says Terry Forgot, I will be really fucking sad.

I was there for that.

who's more awesome, Granny or Vetinari?

So apparently they're making an animated adaption of Mort.

I hope they don't butcher it by making Death the villain.

He kind of was, just not exactly.

Anyway, it's better than what Hollywood wanted during the 90s, when Death wasn't in the adaption at all.

What I want to know is if it's gonna be live action or animated.
