...intrigued to want to know more. Especially after the cliff-hanger ending. :mrgreen: So, I tried other books - I think "The Colour of Magic" was my second book, "Guards! Guards!" was the third. After that, I actively hunted through second-hand bookshops (and eventually new bookshops too) for...

The Colour of Magic is the weakest of the 3 Sky telemovies - and it's the only one I didn't buy on DVD. I think David Jason was woefully miscast as Rincewind (he was a decent Albert, however), but I can understand why they did it from a "star name" point of view. Some of the performances were...

I agree, and I did my best to undo the damage. I gave my niece my copy of The Colour of Magic, The Light Fantastic, Equal Rites, and Mort. Er, yes? ;) Maybe it's a generational thing. I'm used to the term "munchkin" for an overpowered player - e.g. someone playing a Level 1 Fighter in D&D, but...

...the sheer schmuck bait schadenfreude value? Especially after the sheer, apocalyptic amount of magic thrown at it in the finale of The Colour of Magic? 2. Loyalty aside, I think the Luggage would count as Chaotic Neutral. Or maybe, to take a leaf out of Tiny Tina's Wonderlands' marketing...

...than it really should be. And considering Terry Pratchett puts a lot of Dungeons and Dragons tropes and creatures into The Colour of Magic, especially with the tabletop RPG the gods are playing with the mortals of the Discworld, well, who's to say the Luggage wasn't inspired by a Mimic? So...

hahaha I'd love to see all of this :roflmao: I actually reread "The colour of magic" a few weeks ago and I didn't remember a thing about Wyrmberg! I totally agree with everything the three of you said... You can actually tell this book is the beginning of someting with a great potential. I'm not...

Who also was big gamer.

I recently explained the plot of Colour of Magic and Light Fantastic to a friend and he replied "This sounds like a D&D campaign" and I will never look at the wonderful chaos of those two books the same. It really IS like a D&D campaign and Rincewind has terrible stats but keeps rolling natural...

...that passage! I guess, though, that we still have to intuit Tonyblack's idea that Granny W used magic on the water.... Wow, Tonyblack, 5 times... I can totally understand why. I took notes the second time I read the Colour of Magic many years ago.. these books are jewels to be read & re-read:)

Last week there was the cover reveal for the Catalan edition of "The colour of magic"!!!! Many fans have gone wild! :love: It will be published in November. Mx

Although Josh Kirby's covers are beloved, it doesn't mean they are always accurate to the book. Terry himself has pointed this out when he commented of the cover for The Colour of Magic, when Josh depicted Twoflower as literally having FOUR EYES!

1. Monstrous Regiment 7. Colour of Magic 17. Witches Abroad 20. Jingo 29. Moving Pictures? 30. Men At Arms? 31. A Hat Full of Sky 33. Interesting Times 34. Makerade 36. Wee Free Men 39. Snuff 40. Shepherd's Crown I missed this first time around, so I've gone with the ones Rath got wrong...

I haven't seen that cover before either, but I like it very much. :) It doesn't give much away! =D I like this quote from the Colour of Magic page: Talk about underselling Pterry! ;) Now I'm curious. Will either of these books be in the usual places like Book Depository, Amazon, Waterstones...

Haha, I know, I freaked out when I saw them! https://colinsmythe.co.uk/product/colour-of-magic/ https://colinsmythe.co.uk/product/the-light-fantastic/ I emailed Mr. Smythe asking if there were plans for any others to be republished. Unfortunately he only has the rights to publish the first...

Wait, he what? :oops:Where? How? When? What? I'm confused. I haven't seen it anywhere. :eek: Details, please :)

Greetings all. Colin Smythe republished this year both The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic in a hardback edition, replicating the original artwork and design of the originals. Does anyone here know if other Discworld novels are scheduled to receive the same treatment?

...and slang go for it. Don't get hung up on linguistic authenticity. And use whatever names you want. Hell, if when Pterry was writing Colour of Magic he kept on saying, "Gosh, does this sound too much like I'm borrowing narrative tricks from Douglas Adams" the series would never have gotten...

...you, though, that the Discworld books deserve a grand TV adaptation. :) I thought that "Hogfather" was good, if a little dry; "The Colour of Magic" was fairly good, and "Going Postal" was generally excellent (though there was one moment I definitely disagreed with, i.e. , which he would never...

...Compared to Discworld, that thing is a pile of ..." :poop: :p Please don't mistake me: I wasn't there to welcome the first "Colour of Magic". I didn't even know about Discworld until about 1997, when I borrowed "Interesting Times" from the library. But after that, I borrowed and read...

Yes Rath - I think that's what =Tamar was referring to. I also seem to remember Mal hearing helicopters. There was a sort of sideways flash in Colour of Magic where
