A complete core rulebook for Discworld: Adventures in Ankh-Morpork, the official roleplaying game set in Terry Pratchett’s most infamous city. Full of rules, iconic characters, locations, an introductory adventure, and more puns than a street corner on the Street of Cunning Artificers.
The absolute, comprehensive, from Tiffany Aching to Jack Zweiblumen guide to all things Discworld, fully illustrated by Paul Kidby.
The Discworld, as everyone knows, is a flat world balanced on the back of four elephants which, in turn, stand on the shell of the giant star turtle, the Great A’Tuin, as it slowly swims through space.
It is also the global publishing phenomenon with sales of over 100 million books worldwide (but who’s counting?). There’s an awful lot of Discworld to keep track of. But fear not! Help is at hand. For the very first time, everything (and we mean everything) you could possibly want to know has been crammed into one place.
If you need a handy guide to locales from Ankh-Morpork to Zemphis . . .
If you can’t tell your Achmed the Mads from your Jack Zweiblumens . . .
If your life depends on distinguishing between the Agatean Empire and the Zoons . . .
Look no further. Compiled and perfected by Stephen Briggs, this is your ultimate guide to Sir Terry Pratchett’s beloved fantasy world.
Featuring the very best of Paul Kidby’s Discworld illustrations, this definitive volume includes 40 pieces of never-before-seen art, 30 pieces that have only appeared in foreign editions, limited editions and Book Club editions, and 17 book cover illustrations since 2004 that have never been seen without cover text.
When Terry Pratchett was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in his fifties he was angry – not with death but with the disease that would take him there, and with the suffering disease can cause when we are not allowed to put an end to it. In this essay, broadcast to millions as the BBC Richard Dimblebly Lecture 2010 and previously only available as part of A Slip of the Keyboard, he argues for our right to choose – our right to a good life, and a good death too.
From the worldwide phenomenon Sir Terry Pratchett, via the unquestionable wisdom of the Amazing Maurice, herein is contained everything you’ll ever need to know to identify the real, unadulterated cat.
The Unadulterated Cat is becoming an endangered species as more and more of us settle for those boring mass-produced cats the Ad Men sell us – the pussies that purr into their gold-plated food bowls on the telly. But the Campaign for Real Cats sets out to change all that by helping us to recognise a true, unadulterated cat when we see one.
For example: real cats have ears that look like they’ve been trimmed with pinking shears; real cats never wear flea collars . . . or appear on Christmas cards . . . or chase anything with a bell in it; real cats do eat quiche. And giblets. And butter. And anything else left on the table, if they think they can get away with it. Real cats can hear a fridge door opening two rooms away . . .
Featuring fifty illustrations and artwork from the creative minds behind the Amazing Maurice film, rediscover Sir Terry’s wit and wisdom and re-educate yourself on how to separate Real Cats from the riff raff.
Ach, ye’ve come to the right place, ye wee scunner! If ye’re tired o’ borin’ old ABCs wi’ apples an’ balls an’ cats, then CRIVENS!, this is the book fer ye.
Straight from the chalk hills of Discworld, the Nac Mac Feegle (also known as the Wee Free Men) have taken over the alphabet and turned it into a glorious riot of blue-skinned, kilt-wearing, permanently fighting-drunk mayhem.
Join Rob Anybody, Big Yan, Daft Wullie, and the rest of the Chalk Hill Clan as they guide you through every letter the Feegle way. Expect:
C is for Crivens!
R is for Rob Anybody! (the Big Man of the Chalk Hill Clan! The smartest, toughest, bravest Feeble of them all!)
I is for Inna-pro-pree-ate behaviour! (A term often used about, but seldomly, Feegles.)
V is for Verra! (Very.)
E is for Explainin’ (Lying.)
N is for Nae Problemo! (‘No-problem’. Please note: this is not always strictly true.)
S is for Ship! (Woolly thing that eats grass and goes baa. Easily confused with other kind.)
Each page bursts with the glorious, irreverent humour only Terry Pratchett could inspire, packed with classic Feegle slang, favourite sayings and sentences so full of mischief. It will having you laughing out loud. Beautifully illustrated by the talented David Wyatt, every spread is a riot of colour, tattoos, sporrans and tiny terrors causing chaos.
Crafted by Ian Mitchell at the Discworld Emporium, this hardback gem is the perfect introduction to the Nac Mac Feegle for young readers (wee scunners) and a joyful treat for seasoned Discworld fans (big jobs) who’ve followed Tiffany Aching’s adventures in The Wee Free Men, A Hat Full of Sky and beyond.
Why you should add this to yer hoard right now:
Nae coo was harmed in the makin’ o’ this book (well, maybe one or two were mildly inconvenienced).
Get yer copy before the Feegles nick it fer the hoard!
Think you know Ankh-Morpork? Think again.
In this top-secret guide, travellers will receive a first-hand experience of the real city. If you’ve ever wondered where Unseen University students wet their whistles (while managing to avoid their teachers doing the same), or just what the Assassins’ Guild constitutes a proper means of inhumation – there are standards to be upheld, after all – then this is the book for you.
That’s right, have yourselves a peek into the inner workings of city’s societies. Cut the chaff, glimpse behind the curtain, see how the sausage gets made . . . err, you get the idea.
Just don’t let the Thieves’ Guild catch you with this book. They won’t appreciate their methods being flogged behind their back. Flogging’s their job.
Completely revamped and redesigned, this full-colour book contains material from Discworld Diaries across the decades.
