    Discworld as a book series is perhaps the most richly written and creative fantasy series out there, it just happens to also be very silly and satirical so people don't expect the one two punch of it actually being pretty smart at times. It's like having the fun uncle tell you a story and you only realize after the story's over that it actually had some profundity and insight to it despite it having a baudy limerick or two.

      It's also incredibly samey in it's tone and jokes. I've read two books and liked them, and the third was exactly the same so i put it down. Way too repetitious for my liking.

    Considering the plot is about making Death popular it’s probably a good idea to bring up how Death is actually a very popular character. He’s been the main character in a few of the books and people in real life will frequently mention that when they die they hope this Death will be the one to welcome them. Someone in your darkest hour to let you know everything will be alright.

It's a pity they couldn't find a way for either narrator to re-record the books or work to improve the audio of the original recordings.

    Oh I seriously miss these games.. Discworld 1 and 2 are my favourite games of all time. They're only made better when you have more knowledge of the Discworld book series as well when you see references to things from the books. If you played the first game, you actually helped create the clickies, popped corn, and the actress was a milkmaid that you helped get involved with the clickies!

    Aaaah i remember renting this from my local library back in the day! They completely mangled the box, cut it apart and stuffed it in some cheap plastic casette looking like one of those early vcr boxes from the 80's (like really thin and flimsy with extremely sharp ridges). Ended up finding a box-less copy with the manual for €0,50 at a flea market so i'm happy! Fond memories indeed!

    Speaking of Rincewind, "Interesting Times" is a good one :) Though personally I prefer the Lancre cast and setting generally ("Witches Abroad" is a favorite), there are so many books that I could find at least one of every sub-setting which I enjoy. Yes, the first few books are slow going, but it picks up after a few when Pratchett hits his stride, and everything gets immensely better (for anyone just starting to read them, and attempting to go in order).
