I've Never Read DiscworldBook 15. Men at ArmsDiversity. Gonne. Fireworks. Conscripted. Dartboard.
Two working Northern Irish writers: Andy Luke, a newcomer to Ankh-Morpork, and PJ Hart, who knows his way round, and MEN AT ARMS, which sees a killer on the loose and massive changes to the Nights Watch.

Pratchat - a Terry Pratchett and Discworld book clubThe First News Blast (Discworld book and RPG news)Our Monstrous Regiment episode still isn’t quite ready, so we’ve had to push it to April. In the meantime, Ben gets nerdy about some recent Discworld and Pratchett news about books and roleplaying games.
A few brief notes:
“50 Years of Terry Pratchett” was actually announced in November 2021, marking fifty years since the publication of The Carpet People in 1971. (In Ben’s defence, those early pandemic years all blur into one.) It kicked off with a new print and audiobook edition of that book; the new audio version was read by David Tennant! The new Discworld...

Pratchat - a Terry Pratchett and Discworld book clubHow Did Discworld Get to 40? (40th Anniversary Special)24 November 2023 marks forty years since Terry Pratchett’s The Colour of Magic was first published. That’s right – it’s Discworld’s fortieth birthday! To celebrate, join Pratchat producer and co-host Ben McKenzie as he – and a bunch of special guests – try to figure out why that book, and moreso the Discworld series it started, have endured for so long.
This episode is something of an experiment for Pratchat, and as Ben says during the episode, this can’t possibly cover all the reasons why the series is so beloved. We want to hear about your favourite Discworld books...

DOS Game ClubDiscworld
The official Terry Pratchett-approved Discworld point & click adventure game has been pinned on our forums for over two years, as April 2023 would have been his 75th birthday, had he lived to experience it.
Although Pratchett was initially apprehensive about the project, after been shown early demos he gave his approval and by 1995 the game was released to much fanfare. It was a big production, with famous British actors and comedians providing the voices, such as Eric Idle from Monty Python voicing Rincewind, the protagonist of the story.
All in all a very interesting game and...

Imaginary WorldsEntering Discworld. Population: Terry Pratchett.Discworld might be the most popular fantasy series you’ve never heard of. The late Terry Pratchett wrote 41 novels in the Discworld universe. To honor the 75th anniversary of his birth, we look at what fueled his satire, how he put himself into his characters, and why so many Discworld fans find solace and inspiration in his worldview. I talk with Pratchett’s former assistant and biographer Rob Wilkins, dramatist Stephen Briggs who adapted many Discworld novels to the stage, cultural critic Emmet Asher-Perrin and Professor Jacob Held, author of Philosophy and Terry Pratchett. Also featuring readings by Pavel Doug...

2023-02-201h 18I've Never Read DiscworldBook 5. Sourcery"All. Out. Thamaturgical. War."
Newbie Andy opens with a shocking revelation but ultimately plays second banana to Discworldly P.J. and his first reading at how Sir Terry's arm's a-gettin' fits into the Disc-curriculum. Drinking at the Drum there's strong use of the F-word (Fantasy) in chatter about life during wartime, university modernisation, domestic abuse and climate crisis. Ook!

2023-01-241h 10I've Never Read DiscworldBook 4. Mort"The moment were Discworld arrives." - PJ
Interrogating Pratchett's classic fan-favourite, the Belfast-casters consider Mort and the outsider perspective, greasy spoons, and how reality looks. PJ waxes lyrical on the rejection of death and body issues. Andy is contrary on everything from big man theory to plot-stuffing, armoured with a statement on how he's probably right.

In which Andy has many quotes and sticky notes, and PJ talks about his childhood memories of Discworld. Fairytale realism is discussed, and how Bethan, Cohen and Herenna overturn fantasy tropes. We wonder if all the wizards are Tories, and consider the apocalypticism of the Disc's red scare.

Kais Spielekiste - der PodcastDurchgewalkt #3 - Discworld Part 2
Viel zu lange hat es gedauert. Trotzdem erstmal: „Gesundes neues Jahr!“….und nicht verzagen, die reguläre Folge 25 befindet sich in der Post-Produktion.
Jetzt aber erstmal wieder Discworld. Jörg und Kai entdecken in der zweiten Folge einmal mehr, dass Discworld ein extrem redelastiges Spiel ist. Daher gibt es diesmal weniger Rätselkost, dafür mehr Humor. Immerhin ist Discworld ein Comedy-Adventure. Es darf gelacht werden…
Viel Spaß beim Hören

Running in ProductionDiscworld Disorganizer Is a Discworld Book Series Search EngineIn this episode of Running in Production, Jamie Taylor goes over how he
built Discworld Disorganizer which is a Discworld
book series search engine. It’s written in .NET Core and hosted for free on
Azure. It’s been running in production since 2017.
Jamie developed this app to scratch his own itch to help figure out which books
he already owns. The API portion of
the app is a separate app that is public and free to use. I learned a lot about
the .NET eco-system and even Discworld in this episode thanks to Jamie!
