Death takes a holiday again, but this time it's compassionate leave. Susan makes a smaller mistake than her father did, but unlike him she was given basically no training. Meanwhile Music With Rocks In is driving people wild in Ankh-Morpork, and there are more puns than you can shake a drumstick at.

Liz and Ben delve deep into the archives and come back with some highlights from the collected Discworld Diaries from Terry Pratchett and Stephen Briggs' The Ankh-Morpork Archives Volumes I (2019) and II (2020), plus Terry's 2004 collaboration with Bernard Pearson, The Discworld Alamak. Between 1998 and 2003, Discworld fans got an extra little treat: an in-universe diary themed around one of the Guilds or other major institutions of the Disc, full of new Discworld history and gags penned by Pratchett with the assistance of Stephen Briggs, and illustrations by Paul Kidby. In 2004, they got something a little different: a Roundworld version of the Celebrated Discworld Almanak, a publication famed for its wisdom, length and absorbency, co-authored by Pratchett and Bernard Pearson. After a brief break, two more diaries with new gags and Discworld lore appeared in 2007 and 2008, but any subsequent diaries or journals were just compilations of quotes and existing material. Like all diaries, these were smaller print runs and never reprinted, so for most fans these extra tidbits were lost to time. But then, in 2019 and 2020, Stephen Briggs and Paul Kidby brought all that weirdness back in two new books: The Ankh-Morpork Archives Volume I, and Volume II, each collecting the original content from four of those diaries and presenting them in a coffee-table style larger format, with new layout, updated or new art, and all the charm of the originals. Did you ever have one of the diaries? Did you write in it? What do you think of the new presentation of all these gags? Do the more unusual diaries have the same charm, or does it feel a bit like the best themes had already been used? And if you were to see new books based on any of this stuff, what would you want to see? Note your answer in your diary, then send it to us using the hashtag #Pratchat84. You can find episode notes and errata on our web site. Next month we knock off one of our few remaining Discworld novels: Sam Vimes' detective's holiday in the country, Snuff!

rWotD Episode 2833: Discworld Diary Welcome to Random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia’s vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Tuesday, 4 February 2025 is Discworld Diary.The Discworld Diaries are a series of themed diaries based on the Discworld novels by Terry Pratchett. Each one (except the 2008 diary) is based on an Ankh-Morpork institution, and has an opening section containing information about that institution written by Pratchett and Stephen Briggs.The diaries feature a great deal of background information, far more than could reasonably be put into the novels. However, some of this occasionally finds its way into the series proper - the concept of female assassins, the introduction of Black Widow House, and the characters of Miss Alice Band and Mme les Deux-Épées were notable ideas that first appeared in the Assassins' Guild Yearbook, and later in the Discworld short story "Minutes of the Meeting to Form the Proposed Ankh-Morpork Federation of Scouts" in A Blink of the Screen, to then becoming characters and a playable Assassins' Guild House in Discworld MUD.The early diaries are illustrated by Paul Kidby.Those for 2015 and 2016 were by Pratchett aided and abetted by the Discworld Emporium, with additional illustrations by Peter DennisThe diaries are:Discworld's Unseen University Diary 1998 (1997); the cover art features the character Death, possibly the character who appeared in the greatest number of Discworld novels.Discworld's Ankh-Morpork City Watch Diary 1999 (1998); the cover art features the character Commander Samuel Vimes of the Watch, His Grace the Duke of Ankh, in his beloved street uniform, in other words, battered Watchman armor.Discworld Assassins' Guild Yearbook and Diary 2000 (1999); the cover art features the character Lord Downey, the Assassins' Guild leader, with his specialty peppermint (rumored poisoned).Discworld Fools' Guild Yearbook and Diary 2001 (2000); the cover art features Dr Whiteface, the Fools' Guild leader, bursting through a paper hoop.Discworld Thieves' Guild Yearbook and Diary 2002 (2001); the cover art features a "photofit" of Mr Boggis, the Thieves' Guild leader.Discworld (Reformed) Vampyre's Diary 2003 (2002); the cover art features Mr John Not-A-Vampire-At-All Smith, head of the Ankh-Morpork Mission of the Black Ribboners with a cup of steaming brown liquid, likely coffee or hot cocoa.Ankh-Morpork Post Office Handbook Diary 2007 (2006); the cover art features Moist von Lipwig, the Postmaster of the Ankh-Morpork Post Office, wearing his token golden suit and wingèd hat, with Lipwigzers on either side of him.Lu Tze's Yearbook of Enlightenment 2008 (2007); the cover art features Lu-Tze in the lotus position, with his broom in front of him, against a square with the phrase "It won't get better if you pick it" (from the Way of Mrs Cosmopolite).2015 Discworld Diary.

Welcome back to ‘Discworld: Adventures in Ankh-Morpork' and the adventure, Up in Smoke! After following the trail of the missing dragons and navigating the cheese joust on Misbegot Bridge our guards spot a plume of smoke rising from a building. Could this be the doing of average looking suspect, John Johnson!? This is Mystery Quest, a roleplaying podcast where we play a variety of one-shot RPG's with a rolling cast of special guests.

Liz and Ben are joined by guest Dr Tansy Rayner Roberts PhD (Classics) to chat about fashion, faith, food...oh, and football. Yes, join us for an episode that goes well into extra time (i.e. it's over 3 hours long) as we discuss Terry Pratchett's 37th Discworld novel, Unseen Academicals. The Wizards of Unseen University are still recovering from the Dean's defection to become Archchancellor of rival Brazeneck College, but they have a bigger problem: if they don't field a foot-the-ball team, they'll lose the bequest that supplies most of their dinners. But the sport has become lawless and violent - a game of the streets in which matches last long into the night and players die. And then there's the fans... But something's in the air. The game's about to change, and at the centre of it are an unlikely quartet of junior University staff: Glenda the sensible baker; beautiful and fashion-conscious Juliet; Trev, son of the game's greatest player; and Mr Nutt, a goblin who's good at everything - except explaining who and what he is... The last of the Discworld books to “star” the wizards, and the longest in the series by a fair margin, Unseen Academicals repeatedly says that it isn't really about football. And, indeed, there's a lot else going on: new ways for both dwarfs and trolls to express their femininity; the internal voices which hold us back from reaching our potential; the struggle between progress and fairness, of power and the people. And at the heart of it, four brand new characters who represent a side of Ankh-Morpork we don't usually see in our protagonists: the regular people, caught up in the Shove. What did you think of Unseen Academicals? Does it have enough football in it, or too much? What are your favourite takes on orcs? What other sports would you like to see come to the Discworld? And do you know where we can get a megapode? Shout out from the Shove using the hashtag #Pratchat83! Guest Dr Tansy Rayner Roberts PhD (Classics) (she/her) is a Tasmanian author of sci-fi, fantasy and cosy crime. Her essay series Pratchett's Women was collected into a book, and her follow up series on Pratchett's men can be found at the online magazine Speculative Insight. Tansy recently reprinted her “Teacup Magic” series of cosy mysteries, and her newest novel is the time travel comedy Time of the Cat. You can find Tansy online at tansyrr.com and as @tansyrr on social media; you'll also find her in our previous live episodes: “A Troll New World” (from Nullus Anxietas 7 in 2019) and “Unalive from Überwald” (from Nullus Anxietas IX in 2024). You can find episode notes and errata on our web site. Next month we're looking at a stack of Discworld ephemera - namely both volumes of the Ankh-Morpork Archives, which collect material from the Discworld diaries, and their sibling publication The Discworld Almanack! If you've read any of those, please send us your questions via email (chat@pratchatpodcast.com), or social media. Use the hashtag #Pratchat84.

Puzzlers and previous guests Nicholas J Johnson and Lawrence Leung return to play and discuss Leonard Boyd and David Brashaw's 2015 board game Clacks, based on Terry Pratchett's 33rd Discworld novel, Going Postal. Postmaster General Moist von Lipwig has come up with a plan to prove the Ankh-Morpork postal service is still relevant - a race against the Grand Trunk Semaphore Company! The Grand Trunk has a monopoly on the “Clacks”, a system of optical telegraph towers which transmit messages using patterns formed by a grid of six lights - surely they can beat a man on a horse? But the Grand Trunk knows Moist has something up his sleeve, and they're taking no chances - the fastest and best new Clacks operators will have to prove they're worthy of the job by racing each other first... The fifth (and so far final) Discworld board game, Clacks is the second Discworld design by Boyd and Brashaw's BackSpindle games (following Guards! Guards!). Clacks turns the race at the climax of Going Postal into a logic puzzle where up to four players must use punch cards to turn patterns of lights on and off in a grid, hoping to form another pattern which equates to a letter in Clacks code. It's a race to finish your word (or words) first, either against each other, or as a team against Moist von Lipwig - but sharing the same grid of lights makes this puzzle very unpredictable. Is it Discworldy enough? Does it feel like the Clacks technology of the books? Do you find it fun or funny, and do you prefer it collaborative or cooperative? And what else would you play to get your logic puzzle fix? Join the discussion using the hashtag #Pratchat82. Guest Nicholas J Johnson is an author, magician, educator and expert in deception, who goes by the nickname "Australia's Honest Con-Man". You can find details of Nick's shows and workshops, including his upcoming magic show for children at the 2025 Melbourne Comedy Festival, at conman.com.au, or follow him on Bluesky, Instagram or Facebook as @honestconman.

We'll be kicking off the new year with one of the few Discworld novels we have left - and why not go large with the longest Pratchett novel of all, Unseen Academicals?

Only 2 things are inevitable, and even Death can't avoid the Revenoo. Like the religious community of Ankh-Morpork we find Mrs Cake somewhat problematic. With wizards, undead, snow globes and an employment tribunal at the End of the Universe. "Maybe life is something you acquire."

Get the book here: https://amzn.to/4dly5TZ "Night Watch turns out to be an unexpectedly moving novel about sacrifice and responsibility, its final scenes leaving one near tears. . . Terry Pratchett may still be pegged as a comic novelist, but . . . he's a lot more.” — Washington Post Book World Getting knocked back in time thirty years, Sam Vines, Commander of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch experiences a day like no other in which past, present, and future collide with hilarious—and poignant—results in this rollicking Discworld adventure from Terry Pratchett. One moment Commander of the City Watch Sam Vimes is chasing a murderer across the rooftops of Ankh-Morpork. The next, he's lying in the street below, naked—and back in his own tough past thanks to a lightning strike and a group of meddling, time-manipulating monks. It's a dark Discworld that is all too familiar. Worse, the cop-killing psychopath he'd been pursuing has been transported back with him, and it's the eve of a deadly street rebellion that took a few good (and not so good) lives. Vimes is determined to do his duty— track down the murderer and change the outcome of the rebellion. By changing history he might just save some worthwhile necks, and steer a novice watchman straight—an impressionable young copper named Sam Vimes. But if he succeeds, Sam knows it could cost him the future—including the job and the family he loves. The Discworld novels can be read in any order but Night Watch is the sixth book in the City Watch series. The series includes: Guards! Guards! Men at Arms Feet of Clay Jingo The Fifth Elephant Night Watch Thud! Snuff

Inequality reporter Stephanie Convery returns on a trip with Liz and Ben into the world of banking, high finance and monetary theory in Terry Pratchett's thirty-sixth Discworld novel, 2007's Making Money. The Ankh-Morpork Post Office is running very smoothly - which has left Moist von Lipwig, reformed con-man and Postmaster General, at a loose end. But he resists the Patrician's offer of a new job revitalising the Royal Mint and Royal Bank of Ankh-Morpork. The bank's current owner is a Mark 1 Feisty Old Lady who knows her rich family are out to get her - and her little dog, too. But despite Moist's best attempts to not get involved, both dog and bank wind up in his care - putting him in the sights of the Lavish family, and especially Vetinari-obsessed Cosmo Lavish. Meanwhile, manager of the Golem Trust (and Moist's fiancée) Adora Belle Dearheart is digging up something ancient out on the desert. And Moist's past is about to catch up with him... Just a few novels after debuting in Going Postal, Moist von Lipwig is back! Making Money is about the nature of money, but also about the thrill of the chase, grappling with one's inner nature, and obsession. Aside from Gladys the Golem, Moist and Adora Belle bring few of their previous supporting cast along for the ride; instead we meet a new cast including Mr Bent, the Lavishes, another Igor, the Post-Mortem Communications Department of Unseen University, and the very good boy Mr Fusspot. Does this live up to the promise of Going Postal? Could Moist be in other Discworld books in disguise - and if so, as who? Did you guess Mr Bent's secret? And if you had a Glooper, what would you use it to change in the world of money? No purchase necessary to join the conversation for this episode; just email us or use the hashtag #Pratchat80 on social media. Stephanie Convery (she/her) is is a writer and author. Previously the Deputy Culture Editor for The Guardian Australia, she's now their dedicated inequality reporter. Stephanie's first book, After the Count: The Death of Davey Browne, was published in March 2020 by Penguin Books. (We suspect it won't be her last.) You can follow Stephanie on Twitter at @gingerandhoney, and find her work at Guardian Australia. Her previous appearances on Pratchat were for #Pratchat2, “Murdering a Curry” (about Mort), and #Pratchat42, “Truth, the Printing Press, and Every -ing” (about The Truth). You'll find full notes and errata for this episode on our website...though not just yet. Watch out for it soon! In the meantime, the newly recovered story in A Stroke of the Pen is “Arnold, the Bominable Snowman” (we've not yet found it online). Also, here's the free Quickstart for the Discworld: Adventures in Ankh-Morpork roleplaying game; it's also available via DriveThruRPG. The Kickstarter launches on 15 October. Those three upcoming Discworld plays in Australia are The Fifth Elephant from Brisbane Arts Theatre from 19 October; Maskerade by Sporadic Productions in Adelaide from 30 October; and Guards! Guards! from Roleystone Theatre in Perth from 22 November. Next episode we're continuing our Moist streak (sorry) with the (so far) latest Discworld board game: Clacks! If you have questions about this game recreating the race between Moist and the Grand Trunk company, get them in to us by mid-October 2024 by tagging us or using the hashtag #Pratchat81 on social media, or emailing us at chat@pratchatpodcast.com.

"Carrot is like Superman" - Andy "Vetinari is like Lex Luthor" - PJ Andy charts his loss of Disc virginity with a five-function diary and PJ reports in on his first time with the Feet of Clay audiobook. The most important man in the city has been poisoned and there's everything to play for. We rave and rant on golems, technology, the working class struggle, trans experiences, gender metaphors, relationships, class, and the psychogeography of Ankh-Morpork. We've got good at this. Deep dives into Cheri, Vimes, Angua and Carrot. Take a drink every time PJ says Jon Culshaw.

‘That's basically all of opera, reely.' ‘What? Either dyin' or drinkin' beer?' ‘We-ll…there might be some other stuff. But mostly it's stout or stabbin.' The witches return to Ankh-Morpork and a series of killings at the opera house. City Guide PJ Hart leads the way through PTerry's world of ghosts, Greebo and cootie dumplings. First-timer Andy Luke brings his knowledge of operatic motifs and shares a surprising anecdote about the consequences of reading Maskerade, and singing about it.

This week we're discussing The Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett. Twoflower, a tourist, takes a break from his job as an insurance adjuster to explore Ankh-Morpork, a destination that he has read and heard so much about. He wants to see the famed heroes, dragons, bar fights, and have an adventure! However, Twoflower has no idea of the danger that he is in, and Rincewind, a mediocre, sort-of wizard, is tasked with keeping him safe. Rincewind and Twoflower's travels take them through an inferno of a city, into the temple of the Soul Eater, across a land populated by dragons before reaching the very edge of the world, narrowly escaping Death each time. Join us!

Diversity. 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. It's a heavy episode measuring Terry Pratchett's fun and innovation against the depths of policing reform, diversity hiring, wolves and identity politics, struggles against the gig economy and the DWP. So get ready to embrace dwarf culture, Leonardo Da Vinci's multitasking and remember, the I've Never Read Discworld podcast now accepts sponsorships from coffee companies.

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 audiobooks and paperbacks from Penguin were published between 2022 and 2023, though the audiobook of Hogfather was released early for Christmas 2021, using the same artwork as the 25th anniversary paperback edition. For more on the books released as part of 50th anniversary celebrations, see the L-Space wiki “50 Years of Terry” article. You can check out the cover design for the new edition of The Last Hero on the Gollancz website. The new paperback edition of Eric was published on 23 February 2023. The new audiobook, read by Colin Morgan, had been previously released with the other Wizards books on 7 July 2022. The Collector's Library edition of Dodger can be seen in the terrypratchett.com announcement. You can see the “Forty Years of Discworld” logo at terrypratchett.com. The “Year of Discworld” was announced on the day of the fortieth anniversary, promising “more on that soon”. Both the terrypratchett.com announcement and Modiphius announcement for Terry Pratchett's Discworld: Adventure in Ankh-Morpork include links to Modiphius' fan survey (it's a Google form). Modiphius also has a mailing list you can sign up to for more news. Ben forgot to mention this, but Modiphius' license is for Discworld “tabletop games”, including board games. No news on those yet, though! We'll be back with #Pratchat76, our proper Monstrous Regiment episode on 8 April. Then in May we'll be reading “Hollywood Chickens” (which you can find in A Blink of the Screen) and “From the Horse's Mouth” (from A Stroke of the Pen, or in earlier form as “Johnno, The Talking Horse” in The Time Traveling Caveman and Other Stories) with guest Laura Jean McKay. Send in your questions about those stories via email, or using the hashtag #Pratchat77 on social media.

Put on the kettle and grab your blanket as we discuss the latest innovation in cozy games, Mythwind, a cooperative narrative board game with no win/loss conditions. We break down the pros and cons of friction in games, asymmetry and expression of character. We also discuss some TTRPG announcements we're excited for, Eclipse: 2nd Dawn for the Galaxy and continue to embrace oblivion with some JRPGs Follow Daniel at https://boardgamefeast.com/ and Mark at https://instagram.com/omnigamermark Tickets for Terminal City Tabletop Convention can be found at https://terminalcitycon.ca/ Follow us on Twitter (https://twitter.com/Omnigamersclub) for more details on our upcoming episodes.

In this very three-quarters-of-a-century episode, Liz, Ben and guest Dr Melissa Rogerson get out the eight-sided dice and roll for initative - or at least cunning - as we play the 2011 board game, Guards! Guards!, designed by Leonard Boyd and David Brashaw, and based on the Discworld novels by Terry Pratchett. The eight great spells have escaped from Unseen University's library, ready to unleash chaos on Ankh-Morpork! Thankfully Commander Vimes has taken charge. He's assigned members of the Watch (that's you) to liaise with four of the Guilds to round up volunteers and bring those spells back. But Guild rivalries run deep, and surely the Patrician will look kindly on whoever saves the day the most. So if one of the other Guilds' volunteers should go missing or explode or fall into the Ankh, your Guild would only be too willing to shoulder more of the burden of saving the city... Created by two Irish Discworld fans who approached Terry with the idea (see David Brashaw's great interview with The Truth Shall Make Ye Fret), Guards! Guards! A Discworld Board Game sees players roaming about a hexagon-based map of Ankh-Morpork collecting Discworld characters, casting spells from scrolls, equipping magic items and occasionally fighting dragons. Which sounds suspiciously like a very different kind of game... Originally published in 2011 by BackSpindle Games and Z-Man Games, and reprinted with a revised rulebook in 2012, Guards! Guards! was a hit with fans - but board game hobbyists were less enthusiastic. Have you played Guards! Guards! - and if so, how long did it take you? Do you like the kind of game where being mean to the other players is part of the fun? Do you think it captures the essence of the source material, and if so, which books in particular? Is this the best name for the game, or do you have a better suggestion? (Ours was Guilds! Guilds!) And should we play an exhibition match at the Australian Discworld Convention, of this or one of the other games? We'd love to hear what you think: use the hashtag #Pratchat75 to join the conversation. Dr Melissa Rogerson is a Lecturer and Assistant Professor in the School of Computing and Information Systems at The University of Melbourne. She was last on for #PratchatPlaysThud, “The Troll's Gambit”, discussing the first Discworld board game in Nivember 2022. Melissa's current research is about hybrid games which use both physical and digital components, as well as the possibility of using games to tell the stories of older people. You can find out more about her work at hybridgameresearch.net, melissarogerson.com, or find her on Twitter and Mastodon as @melissainau, and on BoardGameGeek as melissa. (A mentioned last time, Ben is on there too, as beejay.) As usual you'll be able to find notes and errata for this episode on our website...but not just yet. Watch this space! Next episode we'll be discussing a Discworld novel for the first time in ages - and not just any Discworld novel, but one of the most beloved! Yes, for #Pratchat76 we're finally talking about Monstrous Regiment. Get your questions in before the last week of February to give them a chance of getting on the show!

The Watch was a 2021 series based on elements of Terry Pratchett's Discworld books. With a legalized assassins' guild and thieves' guild, there was little need for a police force in Ankh-Morpork.

Today we are going over some games we played while visiting the UK, including the very out-of-print Discworld Ankh-Morpork, the deduction puzzle that is technically a game Paint the Roses, and, we aren't kidding you, a game that has this as the tagline on BGG "Finger the cards you want to win prizes," Last Penguin.

El sindicato de comerciantes de Ankh-Morpork se presenta, con su flamante vicepresidente de turismo al frente, a las puertas del Tambor Roto. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/angel-martinez2/message

El mundo es tan complejo y tan difícil que, a veces, nos vemos obligados a apoyarnos en recursos de ficción o de fantasía para entenderlo. Y pocos lugares mejores para comprender una realidad compleja que Mundodisco, ese planeta inventado por Terry Pratchett en la saga de mismo nombre, que viaja en equilibrio sobre el lomo de cuatro elefantes, que a su vez se encuentran sobre el lomo de una tortuga estelar.Un escenario de auténtica fantasía, que dio pie a una saga que solo en España vendió más de un millón de libros. Destacaba además la creación de Pratchett por su capacidad para establecer paralelismos satíricos sobre cuestiones culturales, políticas, económicas y científicas.De hecho, los libros del genial autor entre su fino humor británico también recogen brillantes reflexiones sobre la sociedad actual, tan similar en algunos aspectos a la de hace 40 años, cuando Pratchett empezó a escribir las novelas de la saga.Este entorno es el que recoge la 'teoría de las botas de Vimes', o sencillamente 'teoría de las botas', que trata de explicar el problema de la desigualdad y la injusticia socioeconómica. Aparecida por primera vez en 1993, en la novela 'Hombres de Armas', señala que las personas que viven en la pobreza tienden a comprar productos baratos y de menor calidad, que deben reemplazarse repetidamente, y lo que a largo plazo resulta ser más caro que haber comprado un producto de mayor calidad.Recibe este nombre, precisamente, porque es Sam Vimes, capitán de la Guardia de la ciudad de Ankh-Morpork, el que ilustra el concepto, poniendo como ejemplo unas botas, con una reflexión sobre lo caro que es ser pobre."La razón porque los ricos eran ricos, razonaba Vimes, era que se las arreglaban para gastar menos dinero. Tomemos el caso de las botas, por ejemplo. Él ganaba treinta y ocho dólares al mes más complementos. Un par de botas de cuero, realmente buenas, costaba cincuenta dólares. Pero un par de botas, las que aguantaban más o menos bien durante una o dos estaciones y luego empezaban a llenarse de agua en cuanto cedía el cartón, costaban alrededor de diez dólares". "Aquella era la clase de botas que Vimes compraba siempre, y las llevaba hasta que las suelas se quedaban tan delgadas que le era posible saber en qué lugar de Ankh-Morpork se encontraba durante una noche de niebla, solo por el tacto de los adoquines. Pero el asunto era que las botas realmente buenas duraban años y años. Un hombre que podía permitirse gastar cincuenta dólares disponía de un par de botas que seguirían manteniéndole los pies secos dentro de diez años, mientras que un pobre solo podía permitirse comprar botas baratas se habría gastado cien dólares en botas durante el mismo tiempo y seguiría teniendo los pies mojados."

In dieser Folge nimmt Falko das Zepter in die Hand! Genauer gesagt den Zauberstab. Auch wenn er nicht der achte Sohn eines achten Sohns ist (hätten seine Eltern ihn Karl-Heinrich genannt, wäre er offiziell Karl-Heinrich Löffler XII. oder so was gewesen - wie man das in der Provinz halt gemacht hat, damals [kein Witz]). Aus Falkos Leben ist Terry Pratchett nicht wegzudenken, und Das Erbe des Zauberers - der offizielle dritte Roman der Scheibenwelt - hat er damals schon gelesen und ist dem Humor verfallen. Es geht darin um die neunjährige Eskarina, die die Kraft eines Zauberers erhält. Wenn auch versehentlich. Und das ist unpraktisch, denn bekanntermaßen können auf der Scheibenwelt Frauen keine Zauberer werden, sondern nur Hexen. Das sieht sie so gar nicht ein und begibt sich mit Oma Wetterwachs nach Ankh-Morpork zur Unsichtbaren Universität, dem Zentrum der Zauberei, um die Verhältnisse zu ändern ... Jochen hat kein Pratchett-Gen. Obwohl er es immer wieder versucht hat. Die Ärzte sind ratlos. Aber vielleicht mögen nach der Folge ja ein paar Hörer*innen eine Reise auf die Scheibenwelt wagen, die es bislang noch nicht getan haben. Viel Spaß mit der neuen Folge!

Steam power comes to the Disc, whether or not the Disc is ready for it. This book, which lays track (ha ha) for many changes in and around Ankh-Morpork, unfortunately instead became a farewell to many beloved characters.

According to the writer of the best selling crime novel ever to have been published in the city of Ankh-Morpork, it is a truth universally acknowledged that a policeman taking a holiday would barely have had time to open his suitcase before he finds his first corpse. We are joined to discuss Snuff by Angry Staff Officer (either a nom de plume or nom de guerre, we're not sure which). Angry Staff Officer is an on-again, off-again angry staff officer, who made the odd jump from enlisted infantry to engineer officer and is now meandering the warrens of Army doctrine, one dog-eared page at a time. Most often focused on historical events, national security, and occasional rants on Army doctrine. He can be found being cynical and jaded at the Twitter handle @pptsapper and writing at Point of Decision, as well as on Facebook and Instagram. He is a proud member of the Military Writers Guild, winning the Military Writer's Guild award for most active member in 2015. His other key accomplishments include an intimate knowledge of far too many gins to be healthy, and having once live-tweeted the entire Star Wars saga.----------------------------------------------------------Check us out on twitter at @atuin_podHelp us keep the lights on via our Patreon!Follow individual hosts at @urizenxvii, @The_Miannai, and @JustenwritesWe can also be found at www.compleatdiscography.pageOur art is by the indomitable Jess who can be found at @angryartist113Music is by Incompetech and used under a Creative Commons 4.0 Attribution license.Take a Chance by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4457-take-a-chanceFuzzball Parade by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/5044-fuzzball-paradeLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

In this very special episode, Liz and Ben are joined by fellow Discworld podcasters Joanna Hagan and Francine Carrel on an existential journey deep into our very souls! Yes, it's part three of our Thud!-related trilogy, in which we discuss Where's My Cow? Every night at six o'clock, Sam Vimes, Commander of the City Watch, reads the picture book Where's My Cow? to his one-year-old son, Young Sam. But tonight, in between doing the barnyard noises, Vimes starts to question whether this is really the right story for a child of Ankh-Morpork. Released at the same time as Thud!, Where's My Cow? is a picture book based on a novel inspired by a board game. Lavishly illustrated by newcomer to the Discworld Melvyn Grant, it takes the couple of pages explaining the book - and the "Vimes street version" - and brings them vividly to life, along with wonderful new visions of some of our favourite Discworld characters. But is Young Sam cute, or in the uncanny valley? What's the deal with that flying book? What do you think the Discworld's answer to duct tape would be? Are are you, in some way, looking for your cow? Join the conversation using the hashtag #Pratchat62. Guests Joanna Hagan (chef, poet, playwright, author) and Francine Carrel (writer, editor) are the hosts of the Discworld podcast The Truth Shall Make Ye Fret, which is about to reach its 100th episode! Their format splits each novel up into three weekly episodes per month, and they're going through the Discworld books in mostly publication order, with side trips to Pratchett's non-Discworld work along the way. Find them wherever good podcasts are available, but also at their website, thetruthshallmakeyefret.com, and on Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Reddit, TikTok and probably something else by the time you read this. If you like what they do, please consider supporting them on Patreon. You'll find notes and errata for this episode on our web site. As mentioned above and at the end of the episode, we've decided to cut ourselves some slack in the new year by extending the "Thud! trilogy" to four parts. In January we'll be welcoming back Matt Roden to discuss the Discworld short story "A Collegiate Casting-Out of Devilish Devices", featuring A. E. Pessimal and available in A Blink of the Screen. We'll also tackle some more of your brilliant Thud! questions! If you have questions about the short story, send them via social media with the hashtag #Pratchat63 or via email to chat@pratchatpodcast.com. Finally, if you want to catch The Amazing Maurice before the rest of the Australia, and you're in Adelaide, the Australian Discworld Convention's fundraiser screening is on Saturday, the 10th of December, at 3 PM at the Palace Nova Prospect. Get details and book your tickets here! (We won't be there, but do tell us if you go!)

Designer and educator Matt Roden delves deep under Ankh-Morpork with Liz and Ben as they unravel the mystery of the penultimate City Watch book, 2005's Thud!. As the anniversary of the Battle of Koom Valley approaches, the dwarfs and trolls of Ankh-Morpork find their ancient enmity stirred up - not least by Hamcrusher, a conservative leader of the "Deep Down" dwarfs, who has preached hatred against the trolls. But now Hamcrusher's dead - not that the other deep downers want the Watch to know about it - and Vimes must solve the puzzle of his murder before tensions explode across the city. On top of that, he's also been sent a government inspector, he's had to take on the Watch's first vampire, someone's stolen the most talked-about painting in town - and he has to get home at 6 o'clock sharp, every night, to read Where's My Cow? to his infant son... While most Watch books have a mystery that needs solving, none so far have felt as much like a contemporary thriller as Thud! There's an awful lot going on, with politics, religion, art and history all in the mix. Is it too much for one book? Are there threads that get dropped along the way? Is Pratchett having his cake and eating it too with his fantasy abstractions of real world issues? And who do you think should star in Discworld legal drama "The Good Dwarf"? Join in the conversation using the hashtag #Pratchat61 on social media! Guest Matt Roden is a graphic designer, educator and the Creative Learning Manager for the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia. Matt has a long history with storytelling and education; he helped set up The Ministry of Stories in London, and was the first volunteer and a long-running Storyteller with Sydney's Story Factory.

For our sixtieth episode - our troll's teeth anniversary - Liz and Ben are once again devoting an entire show to answering your questions, about the Discworld, Pratchett's other work, and their own - with an eye on what's still to come. (And yes, we allowed ourselves to break the 2.5 hour limit, just this once.) What would your ideal Pratchett adaptation look like? Who's the best Dicsworld villain? If one of your possessions could be made from sapient pearwood, what would it be? Which books have been the worst, the most challenging, and the most surprising? If Vetinari died and the people of Ankh-Morpork could queue up to see his body, what would happen? And which is the most confused bird? You asked these and many more amazing questions! Plus we specifically asked you: Do you have other people in your life with whom you share your love of Pratchett? How are you reading - or re-reading - the books, if you are? What do you do when you listen to the show? Can you follow the show if you haven't read the book? Do you have a word or phrase you've said most of your life that you discovered was wrong? What joke did you not get until years later? Use the hashtag #Pratchat60 on social media to answer any of the above. (Thanks again to listener Jodie for this eternally useful idea.) You can find Elizabeth on Twitter as @elizabethflux, and on Instagram at @elizabethflux. Watch out for her amazing self-made outfits. You can find Ben and via his web site benmckenzie.com.au, on Twitter at @McKenzie_Ben and Instagram at @notongotham, where you might catch a glimpse of his T-shirt collection. Special thanks to our sibling Pratchett podcasts for their questions: Who Watches the Watch, Desert Island Discworld, Wyrd Sisters and The Truth Shall Make Ye Fret. And thanks to each and every one of you listens, asks questions or sends in answers. Next month is a special double-header: we'll be reading the 34th Discworld novel, 2005's Thud!, with guest Matt Roden. Get your questions in via the hashtag #Pratchat61 by late October! Plus we're teaming up with Jo and Francine from The Truth Shall Make Ye Fret to tackle the book-within-a-book, Where's My Cow? Ask questions for this team-up using the hashtag #MakeYeChat. You'll find the full notes and errata for this episode on our web site.

Night Watch may be the pivotal Vimes book, but Going Postal is probably the pivotal Ankh-Morpork book--and the pivotal Vetinari book. It's a great read in terms of plot and writing, and it has a diamond-sharp message.We're joined this month by friend of the show and game design hero Kevin Kulp! Kevin Kulp (@kevinkulp) is the co-author of Swords of the Serpentine, GUMSHOE swords & sorcery out now in hardback and PDF from Pelgrane Press. Kevin's previous game was the investigative time travel rpg TimeWatch.

Scientist, writer and editor Dr Kat Day joins Liz and Ben on a timey-wimey to Roundworld, as the wizards once again try to save humanity in Pratchett's third collaboration with Ian Stewart and Jack Cohen: 2005's The Science of Discworld III: Darwin's Watch. Roundworld - the impossibly non-magical universe in a bottle which runs on rules - has gone wrong again, and the wizards feel duty-bound to set it right. Humanity's survival depends on the publication of a specific book, but something is trying very hard to make sure its author writes a different one...or gets eaten by a giant squid. With the fate of humanity hanging in the balance, the wizards go to war - but who is their hidden enemy? And why is there one beardy fellow too many in the Great Hall? In the (short) fiction chapters, the wizards must once again travel into Roundworld history, this time with a clear mission: to get Charles Darwin onto the Beagle so he can write The Origin of Species. In the science chapters, Jack and Ian have a focus - the importance of the theory of evolution - but they also feel free to use the time travel plot to explain infinity, DNA, the nature of science and history, and much more besides. They've learned to stay away from the cutting edge - but have they come entirely out of the "philosopause" they didn't seem to know they were in last time? Does the plot rely too much on prior knowledge of the Discworld? Is that really a problem, given the nature of the book? Did you follow the explanations of Minkowski spacetime and the different kinds of infinity, or were you happy coasting across the science chapters? Do they completely miss the point in that last non-fiction chapter - and does it really matter, when the end of the fiction part is so satisfying? Join in the conversation using the hashtag #Pratchat59 on social media! Guest Dr Kat Day is a chemist, a former teacher, a medical editor and a writer of both science and fiction. Kat became well known via her chemistry blog The Chronicle Flask, which is currently on hiatus; you can also find her fiction at the fiction phial. Kat is also an assistant editor for Pseudopod, the horror fiction anthology podcast from Escape Artists. Kat recommended the story "Celestial Shores" as a possible entry point for Pratchett fans, as well as "Let the Buyer Beware" from Pseudopod's sister podcast for young adult speculative fiction, Cast of Wonders.

As promised back in #Pratchat30, we're doing another all-questions episode. This is your chance to send in questions about books you missed first time round, pitch your wild Discworld theories, and ask us pretty much anything you like that doesn't fit into the usual book-focussed episode. We'd also love you to answer our questions: what are do you enjoy most about the show? What kind of episodes do you wish we'd do? Which of our opinions have you most disagreed with? And have you learned anything from us? (Ben sure has!) Send us your answers, and questions, using the hashtag #Pratchat60, or via email to chat@pratchatpodcast.com. Oh, and in November, get ready for a double-header: not only are we reading Thud! with educator Matt Roden for #Pratchat61, but we're cooking up a bonus crossover episode! Yes, we're teaming up with Jo and Francine from The Truth Shall Make Ye Fret, another great Pratchett podcast, to discuss Where's My Cow?, the hottest children's book in Ankh-Morpork. We thought we'd let you know a little early, since it might be tricky to track down a copy...

We dive into the Discworld and consider Gaspode, the cynical ball of stench and disease or as he would put it "Mans best friend, et cetera, et cetera. Give the little doggie a biscuit. Homo-Sapiens! You can keep 'em."We talk about Greyfriars Bobby, the inspiration behind Gaspode.We remember the good/bad old days of London, that Pratchett parodies with Ankh Morpork, where indoor toilets were mistrusted and putting your cape down on the sidewalk for a lady meant you'd need to burn it afterwards.George digs into London's "great stink" of the 1850's - where so many corpses were piled up, the smell literally killed people.Would Gaspode make the idea literary agent?

In this pivot point in the series, we're joined by the creator of Lego Ankh-Morpork to talk about old and new heroes, the changeover between Kirby and Kidby art (and which we like better), and the canon-but-also-kind-of-fan-fiction nature of The Last Hero. "Poets have tried to describe Ankh-Morpork. They have failed. Perhaps it's the sheer zestful vitality of the place, or maybe it's just that a city with a million inhabitants and no sewers is rather robust for poets, who prefer daffodils (and no wonder). I am no poet, or artist, or architect (I am probably more B.S. Johnson than Leonard of Quirm) but I decided to undertake the mammoth task of recreating the Discworld's greatest city, one Lego brick at a time. It started out very much as a personal project which has grown into something so much more. The community on Twitter @LegoAnkhMorpork is growing every day and is the main place to join in discussions and view my latest Lego creations!"Check us out on twitter at @atuin_podHelp us keep the lights on via our Patreon!Follow individual hosts at @urizenxvii, @The_Miannai, and @JustenwritesWe can also be found at www.compleatdiscography.pageOur art is by the indomitable Jess who can be found at @angryartist113Music is by Incompetech and used under a Creative Commons 4.0 Attribution license.Take a Chance by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4457-take-a-chanceFuzzball Parade by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/5044-fuzzball-paradeLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Surprise! In an emergency substitution, Liz and Ben get a glimpse of everyday life in Ankh-Morpork as they dive into three very small bits of Discworld ephemera collected in A Blink of the Screen. The Ankh-Morpork National Anthem captures the experience of those forced to sing patriotic songs everywhere - but even the single complete verse tells us quite a lot about the character of the city. Meanwhile the Ankh-Morpork Guild of Barber-Surgeons have put together a few Medical Notes to keep the population informed about a few diseases peculiar to the city. And, on the occasion of Ankh-Morpork being "twinned" with a small city on Roundworld, we read A Few Words from Lord Havelock Vetinari to mark the occasion... We picked these three "Discworld Shorter Writings" as they are both about Ankh-Morpork, whose history is explored in Night Watch (our next book), and written around the same time as that book - the anthem is from 1999 (though it its based on jokes from Moving Pictures, published in 1990) while the others are from 2002, the year Night Watch was published. How do you feel about your national anthem? Does anyone know the second verse? What weird "diseases" are particular to the place where you live? Would you like to live in a town twinned with Ankh-Morpork - or somewhere else from the vast universe of fiction? And does anyone want a "sausoboros" T-shirt? We'd love to hear your answers! Join the conversation using the hashtag #Pratchat53. As usual, you can find notes and errata for this episode on our website. Next month we're back on track to talk about 2002's Night Watch with guest Nadia Bailey! It's a fan favourite and we already have an absolute tonne of questions, but if you have one you're burning to have us answer, you can send it via the hashtag #Pratchat54, or via email to chat@pratchatpodcast.com.

Our first new perspective character in a while, we see a lot of the fallout of The Fifth Elephant back in Ankh-Morpork as the Dwarven Cultural Revolution progresses back in the Big Wahoonie. Some old favorites return, as well--Gaspode now leading his own pack of outcasts and misfits, Vetinari on the business end of yet another attempted coup, and CMOT up to yet another scheme. Seeing the Watch from the outside is fascinating, and the subject of quite a bit of our discussion.Taylor LaBresh creates weird, cool, queer RPGs, podcasts, and more under the auspices of Riverhouse Games ( RiverhouseGames.Itch.io) and can be found on Twitter @LeviathanFiles.

The Fifth Elephant is a pivotal novel in the Discworld series. While Sir Terry lightens up (slightly) on the Hammer Horror monsters of Uberwald from Carpe Jugulum, he also retools them into very clear political allegories. It is a standout among the 41 novels--so much track is laid for the future as the author breaks Ankh-Morpork out of medieval stasis.And you may never look at Carrot the same way again.We are delighted to be joined by Kat Kuhl, a podcaster and creator we all were listening to well before we even had the notion that we could do this ourselves.

Maskerade! Every face a different shade... after reading Nanny Ogg's new cookbook, that is. Seeking unpaid royalties (and a young witch to replace newly married Magrat), Nanny and Granny head to Ankh-Morpork. They experience Culture, commit shenanigans, and consider questions of morality. Meanwhile, when Sir Terry isn't making her the butt of every single fat joke he can think of, Agnes Nitt has a journey of self-exploration, feeling the twin pull of the life she wants as Perdita X Nitt, famous opera singer, and the life she knows as Agnes the witch-in-potentia.Because this is vaguely Phantom of the Opera (actually a little less than we thought woops), we invited our good friend Coast to join us (noted Phantom expert and Locked Tomb fanatic).

We return to the rank (no file, yet) of the elite guardians of the evening, the City Watch (night). Per Vetinari's orders, they are taking on additional recruits to diversify the face of the modern watch, including a troll (Detritus, previously appearing in Moving Pictures), a dwarf (Cuddy), and a w... (Angua--if you know, you know).  In a meditation on firearms, the role and purpose of police in a modern society, and what it really means to be a man (or w...) of the city, Terry takes us over towers and under sewers in a fast paced chase for the truth.  And truth can be hard to come by in Ankh-Morpork when there are so many easy lies instead.Our guest, Sharang Biswas, can be found at @SharangBiswas or at his web site.Check us out on twitter at @atuin_podFollow individual hosts at @urizenxvii, @The_Miannai, and @JustenwritesWe can also be found at www.compleatdiscography.pageOur art is by the indomitable Jess who can be found at @angryartist113Music is by Incompetech and used under a Creative Commons 4.0 Attribution license.Take a Chance by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4457-take-a-chanceFuzzball Parade by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/5044-fuzzball-paradeLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
