Writer and game designer Kat Clay joins Liz and Ben to point and click on Rincewind once more, as we discuss the 1996 graphic adventure game Discworld II: Missing, Presumed…!? from Perfect Entertainment. When the wizard Windle Poons dies, no-one comes to collect his soul – and this isn't the first time Death has been derelict in his duty. Something must be done, and the Archchancellor knows just the man for the job: so-called wizard and veteran videogame protagonist, Rincewind! Can he – that is to say, you – navigate an ever more fiendish chain of elaborate tasks to summon Death, and persuade him to go back to work? Or will the Disc be doomed to immortality? The first Discworld point-and-click graphic adventure, released in 1995, was a hit. So of course Perfect Entertainment – the merged form of Teeny Weeny Games and Perfect 10 Productions – returned just one year later with a sequel. While not quite as well known as the original, Discworld II: Missing, Presumed…!? (or Discworld II: Mortality Bytes in the US) once again features Eric Idle as Rincewind, a cast of thousands (voiced by three), and a plot constructed from bits of Discworld novels (mostly Reaper Man and Mort). It also features an original song written and performed by Idle, a brand new visual style, and more fourth wall breaks than you can shake a Suffrajester at. The team, headed by Angela Sutherland and Gregg Barnett, would go on to produce one more Discworld game: Discworld Noir, a brand new story with an original protagonist. But like its stablemates, Discworld 2 is currently out of publication. Have you played Discworld 2? Did you find it easier than the first one? Was it written with an awareness that women play videogames? Do you prefer the cel-animation look of this game, or the cartoony pixels of the first one? Does it feel more like the Discworld, or a spin-off from Monty Python? And for subscribers especially, would you like to watch Ben stream these games and play along? Join our online conversation by using your fingers with the social media platform, and then clicking on the hashtag #Pratchat92. Guest Kat Clay (she/her) is a writer of fiction and tabletop roleplaying games from Melbourne, Australia. Her writing is mostly horror, and has included short stories, game reviews, novellas and hopefully an upcoming full-length novel. Kat won a Silver ENNIE award for her Call of Cthulhu adventure, The Well of All Fear, and her recent modern-day Cthulhu adventure, Resort, won Best Scenario at the 2025 Australian Industry Roleplaying Awards.

El color de la magia de Terry Pratchett (The Colour of Magic, 1983) es la primera novela de larga saga de fantasía humorística de Mundodisco. En este libro conocemos a Rincewind, un cierto tipo de hechicero, cínico y desconfiado, que sin proponérselo se encuentra acompañando a una criatura que es sumamente peligrosa para quien esté cerca de ella: el primer turista de Mundodisco.   ¡Escucha el análisis de este libro en este episodio del podcast!   Contacto www.alaaventura.net/contacto jboscomendoza@gmail.com www.facebook.com/alaaventurapodcast  www.instagram.com/alaaventura/  X: @alaaventura    Ayuda a hacer posible este podcast a través de Patreon http://wwww.patreon.com/alaaventura    ¡Obtén hasta dos meses de servicios gratis en Libsyn al iniciar tu podcast!

When Sir Terry Pratchett put pen to paper and first began to shape what would become Discworld, he could not have known that down the line, some little gang of weirdos on the internet would spend almost three hours getting scientifically horny about it. But with a world as rich, multi-layered, and full of larger than life characters as Discworld, it was, perhaps, inevitable. Join our coven of podcasters as they plow through 21 of the Disc's most notable characters to find the zenith, median, and nadir of fuckability in a spree that would make Nanny Ogg proud. You'll get to hear Dan take on the role of 'episode outlier', experience Annie Craton's passion for a certain cat turned man, delight as James D'Amato asks probing questions about just how being into feet works, and listen to MeganBob opine on what exactly Troll cum tastes like. So pull up a chair, get yourself a drink, and strap in for a ride that we're not sure even Rincewind could survive!

Games journalist and PC Gamer editor Jody Macgregor joins Liz and Ben to take control of an oddly Pythonesque Rincewind and discuss the 1995 graphic adventure game Discworld from Teeny Weeny Games and Perfect 10 Productions. A nefarious secret society has summoned a dragon in Ankh-Morpork! It's a suspiciously familiar plot, and of course the only one who can save the city is...Rincewind? This wizard might not know any spells, but he's decidedly snarky and cunning - and accompanied by an inventory window on legs. Together, they'll use petty theft, time travel and logic that would put Rube Goldberg to shame to rid the city of this scaly threat forever...twice! Terry Pratchett was famously an early adopter of computers, and a devoted video game player, so its no surprise that there were other Discworld videogames before...er...Discworld. But this 1995 point-and-click graphic adventure game is by far the most well known and beloved of the lot - despite also being infamous for its difficulty, in a genre known for obscure puzzles with illogical solutions! The player controls a version of Rincewind voiced by Eric Idle, who must travel back and forth all over Ankh-Morpork (and to the edge of the Disc) to collect a variety of random objects to save the city. The plot is loosely based on Guards! Guards!, with some flavour from Moving Pictures and a cast drawn from the early wizards novels. It was followed by two more games from the same team: Discworld II: Missing, Presumed...?!, and Discworld Noir, each with quite different visual styles, and the latter with a brand new protagonist. Sadly, all three are “abandonware” - not only unavailable, but languishing in copyright limbo, with no-one sure enough who currently has the rights to get them published again. Have you had a chance to play Discworld? What do you think of this version of Rincewind, Ankh-Morpork and the Disc? Would you like to hear us do episodes about the two other adventure games? And what other adventure games would you recommend for folks looking for a similar vibe? What other kinds of Discworld videogame would you like to see?

Terry Pratchett and Paul Kidby team up for an illustrated Discworld novel assembling some of Ankh-Morpork's largest characters. It's the first time for Andy and PJ exploring this book. Prose twists and lavish illustrations give us a rocketship powered by dragons, a madman with a nuclear device, all the gods, and events that will change the Discworld forever maybe.00:00 Introduction12:54 Part 1. "The last hero ought to return what the first hero stole."The Patrician assembles Ankh-Morpork's greatest minds - and Rincewind - to tackle the problem at Cori Celesti. Cohen has decided to blow up the gods and has kidnapped a bard to help.28:05 Part 2. Morituri Nolumus Mori ('We who are about to die but don't want to')Evil Harry and Vena the Raven-Haired join the quest. But each realise they have maps on scrolls, found in places they'd expect to be found. Death wrestles with Shrodinger's Cat. While priests and gods argue Carrot sews, Leonard mixes dragon food and Rincewind trains.47:16 Part 3. 'Ankh-Morpork, we have an orangutan...'With the privy assembled the crew of The Kite launch towards the circumference. Low supplies of air require a landing on the moon. The Horde climb the heights, pausing to consider heroism, ballads, The Tsortean knot and the taste of chicken (squid)58:27 Part 4. 'And you're the muse of swearing?'The Horde play dress up to enter Dunmanifestin where Fate challenges Cohen to a roll of the die. Rincewind flies The Kite but it comes more easily to The Librarian. Carrot tries an arrest. Mad Hamish's wheelchair makes a heroic sacrifice. Blind Io delivers his judgement. Cohen horse-jacks the valkyries and Leonard's painting causes a stir back in Ankh-Morpork.Listenings: https://pod.link/1645420990Watchings: https://youtube.com/@DiscworldGNUBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/discworldgnu.bsky.socialFacebook: https://facebook.com/discworldgnuAndy's YouTube: https://youtube.com/@UCZSWNQIJ5CNZuRH6XLPcm0w Andy's Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/andylukeI've Never Read Discworld is written, hosted and produced by PJ Hart and Andrew Luke.*Our other Bigjobs*SPECIAL PLUGSAUDIOThe Divil's Own: folklore pod doc https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001yhg4Last Dance: a Dark Fantasy audio drama podcast https://rustyquill.com/show/last-danceVIDEOSThe Gang Blackface Whitewash https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNpq6zo1ozYCountry Rogues: comedy short film https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0022d39/comedy-shorts-series-1-2-country-roguesHelp - 360 VR Short Film https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41T4Si5fPJsSociological Fiction (released 13 August) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mr2MlQPnFSsBOOKSCoastlines After Dark https://books2read.com/coastlinesafterdarkAnother Time https://books2read.com/anothertime

Illustrator, game designer and educator Brendan Barnett joins Ben to discuss art, ideas, inspiration, creative process, dragons, wizards and goblins (oh my!) as we leaf through Paul Kidby's 2024 gorgeous coffee table book, Designing Terry Pratchett's Discworld. Paul Kidby started bringing Terry Pratchett's Discworld to life when, on the third attempt, he showed off his skill to the author by drawing his own versions of Discworld characters who had so captured his imagination. After several successful collaborations on art books, diaries, maps and the epic The Last Hero, he took over as the cover artist for the series after the death of Josh Kirby in 2001. His illustrations of the characters have become iconic, and Pratchett himself referred to him as his ‘artist of choice'. In this book, Paul discusses his pre-Discworld career, his long collaboration with Terry, and even shows us a glimpse of what might have been by sketching drafts of covers for the books that never were. Do you have a favourite illustration from the book? What was most interesting to you about Paul's process as an artist - and what's it like to read if you don't consider yourself one? How many of originals that Kidby parodies or does an homage to did you know? And who are your other favourite artists? Illustrate your point by sending us your answers (or questions) via a comment, or on the back of a social media post using the hashtag #Pratchat88. Guest Brendan Barnett (he/him) has spend around 15 years working with young people to foster their creativity, including for most of the last decade with Ben at their previous workplace, the creative writing centre 100 Story Building. Trained as an animator and an actor, he is also a keen lover of fantasy roleplaying, and has designed some very well-received adventures for Dungeons & Dragons and similar games. You can find out more about his work at brendanbarnett.com, and find his latest adventure, Grotto of the Golden Gargoyle, on itch.io - as well as his recent collaboration with Ben, the one-page adventure Flee the Flying Saucer! You can find episode notes and errata on our web site. Next month we're surfing the wave of Melbourne International Games Week (which happened just as this episode was being edited) to discuss the 1995 graphic adventure videogame Discworld! A slightly odd adaptation of the plot of Guards! Guards!, Discworld stars Eric Idle as the voice of Rincewind, alongside a small but equally impressive cast of UK comedy talent. It's not currently commercially available, but you can find play-through videos of it on YouTube. Get your questions in via email to chat@pratchatpodcast.com, or send them via social media using the hashtag #Pratchat89. Then, for December, #Pratchat90 will return us to the Discworld novels for nearly the final time, as we read the final Moist von Lipwig book, Raising Steam! We'll remind you about it next month, but if you want to get your questions in early, the hashtag for that episode is #Pratchat90. And don't worry - we have plans to discuss Tiffany Aching's Guide to Being a Witch in the new year. Watch this space!

Wenn es um das Genre der Funny Fantasy geht, führt kein Weg an Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) und seiner Scheibenwelt vorbei. Seine Romane haben ganze Generationen amüsiert und ich begrüße mit Christian Endres sowohl einen Fan als auch ausgewiesenen Experten für Rincewind & Co.

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!

I played the Discworld video game, remarkably, before I'd read a single Terry Pratchett book. I don't know if that speaks more to the cultural cache of video games, or to my own literary ignorance growing up, but getting to the age of 11 in the United Kingdom of the late twentieth century without having read a Terry Pratchett book is quite an astonishing un-achievement. One that I quickly remedied, of course. This was decades ago (I am old), and you'd think that, if anything, the acceptance of video games as a valid form of artistic expression would have progressed somewhat since then. I'm not sure it has, although mercifully we do seem to have seen the back of the dreaded "are games art?" debate, if only because everyone who ever got involved in it either died or got so bored of the subject that they happily conceded that it didn't matter either way. Who cares, just shoot the demons dumbass (or, indeed, the demon's dumb ass). But I can't help but think that Pratchett, by all accounts a deeply thoughtful, kind hearted, and forward-thinking man, would have had a more progressive attitude toward my getting into his work via a PS1 game starring Eric Idle rather than, say, by being made to read Only You Can Save Mankind as part of a syllabus. More progressive than, say, Andrzej Sapkowski's, who is on record about his view that gaming is an unserious form of entertainment that has trivialised his work.  Terry loved games. He adored The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and at the time when I was playing the point and click adventure based on his Rincewind novels, he was enjoying Tomb Raider on the PS1, and in the process helping to forge his daughter Rhianna's deep love of the medium. She would, of course, go on to become a titan of this industry, whose extensive CV includes modernising Lara's character and origins for the acclaimed 2013 reboot, and writing an extremely rare example of genuinely funny video game fantasy in the form of the Overlord series. Books and games are always doing this little dance, it seems. They pilfer each other for characters, settings, themes, and concepts. Their respective industries feed each other with talent. And, most importantly of all, their intertwined relationship inspired the topic for this very podcast, which is: The best game based on a book that nobody who played it has actually read That is the topic of Episode 24 of this podcast.  Learn more about your ad choices.

It's an illustrated Discworld crossover special as Georgina Chadderton rejoins Liz and Ben to talk gods, dragons and outer space in the twenty-seventh Discworld novel, 2001's The Last Hero, illustrated by Paul Kidby. Genghiz Cohen, Emperor of the Agatean Empire, has deserted his throne, and along with his horde is heading for the mountain at the hub of the world. He is planning to pay a little visit on the gods, and "return what the first hero stole" - with explosive interest. According to the wizards, this will destroy the source of the Disc's magic and thus end all life on (and under) it. A rag-tag team of misfits is quickly assembled - a dangerously genius inventor, a stout and honest officer of the Watch, and a reluctant "wizzard" - to take a risky flight looping around the Disc, and intercept Cohen before its too late... The second large-format illustrated Discworld novel, The Last Hero - subtitled "A Discworld Fable" - is a relatively short story, but crosses the streams of the various sub-series more than any other book, providing Paul Kidby with the chance to showcase a whole host of characters and places - including the Disc as seen from above and below! It both feels like a throwback to some of the earlier books - the whole world at stake, Rincewind and Cohen on wild Disc-crossing adventures, the gods playing games with mortals - and a fitting last hurrah (more or less) for two of Pratchett's most beloved characters. Is this a fitting send-off for Cohen? What's happening in the Agatean Empire now its Emperor is gone? How many hours have you spent poring over the illustrations finding references, in-jokes and Easter eggs? And what do you imagine the minstrel's saga sounds like? Join the conversation using the hashtag #Pratchat55 on social media. Guest Georgina Chadderton (aka George Rex) is a comic book creator and illustrator based in Adelaide. She was last our guest way back in #Pratchat7 in 2018 to talk about the first illustrated Discworld novel, Eric. Since then she's continued to make delightful autobiographical comic (including her upcoming book), run comic-making workshops, organise the Papercuts Comics Festival, and even found the time to create the cover art for Pratchat! You can find her online at georgerexcomics.com, where you can find out about Georgina's upcoming events and also buy all manner of cool comics, postcards and stickers. You can also follow her on Instagram at @georgerexcomics. As usual, you can find notes and errata for this episode on our website. Over the next two months we're returning to Pratchett's sci-fi work. In June, we're discussing his 1990 short story "#IFDEFDEBUG + 'WORLD/ENOUGH' + 'TIME'" with science fiction author Sean Williams. That'll leave us (and you) a bit of extra reading time before July for the third Long Earth novel, The Long Mars, which we'll be discussing with our old friend Joel Martin! But in the meantime, you can send us your questions for the short story using the hashtag #Pratchat56, or via email to chat@pratchatpodcast.com.

The Last Continent is about Fourecks, a country legally distinct from Australia because Sir Terry says so--and because it's a country of original people and accidental new inhabitants, rather than colonial powers.

Our showrunner Edward Champion discusses the first chapter of "Pattern Language." Subjects discussed include his hesitations about creating, the dangers of revealing too much, Chris Ware, being dubious about your own work, why the first part of "Pattern Language" was split into two parts, why Pete Lutz is a marvelous man, how an old UCB trick resulted in the strange mix of Shakespeare and I Love Lucy, designing custom vernacular, the absence of slang in fantasy stories, Total Meats as a metaphor for Whole Foods, scouring through mythology to come up with obscure beast and creature names, the influence of Hitchhiker's, Douglas Adams, the number of alternative Eds buried within The Gray Area, why Leanne Troutman is a magnificent actor, Peter Falk impressions, the importance of being present as a director, the number of takes you should do with an actor, using every spatula in the house for the BBQ sound design, how being a prolific cook inspires fictitious food dishes, convincing eating moments on film, Moonstruck, how his opposition to self-checkout in stores inspired worldbuilding, London store technology, people and robots, creating fictitious geography, why the Johnsons matter in The Gray Area, the fajita demon origin story, the influence of Fritz Leiber, Terry Pratchett and the Rincewind novels, recording electrical sounds for the Gray Area, having doubts as an artist, stylizing the demons as wiseacres, showing the humanity of outliers, why the demons are obsessed with exercise, using music to cloak deficiencies, Terminator 2, and telling a story from the demon's perspective.  (Running time: 19 minutes, 8 seconds.)

While this is probably the best Rincewind we've seen, the book is weighed down by leaning hard on a mishmash of Fantasy Asia tropes... and then there's the Silver Horde and some repeated sexual assault jokes. We're not saying DON'T read the book, but approach it with open eyes and an understanding that it overall may not sit well with you. We didn't feel comfortable deeply dissecting the Fantasy Asia stuff considering our own backgrounds, but we want to circle and highlight it to you. That being said, there are some wickedly smart jokes throughout--and ample room for TwoWind shipping.For a much better resource on Fantasy Asia, we strongly encourage you to check out all the great work being done over at Asians Represent, both the podcast and related works.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/

Weeelllll this book's problematic section isn't quite as long as Pyramids but there's a Mesoamerican parody that stuck out like a sore thumb. This book wants to be a few different things and doesn't quite do any of them--it's mostly "bad things happen near Rincewind" and historical/literary jokes. No invisible dragons, despite already being Discworld canon, and no Pope-bothering. On the plus side, there is a high percentage of the book taken up by the Luggage being a good good boy.Check us out on twitter at @atuin_podFollow individual hosts at @urizenxvii, @The_Miannai, @mynaminnarr, 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/

Well this podcast just got a mascot I guess Transcript available at pencilpaper.fandom.com

Sourcery marks the first book with some disagreement among our hosts, but what would life be without some healthy, well-mannered debate? Strengths include solid lore-building regarding the wizards, including why they're forbidden from boning down, and more of Terry's musings on identity. Weaknesses include coherence as an overall novel and some uncomfortable orientalism.

Rincewind is back. Sigh. Again.

Rincewind is back! Again! This may be our least favorite book in the entire series, so enjoy that!

Picking up where The Colo(u)r of Magic left off, it's the further adventures of Rincewind and Twoflower.
