Transworld and Cunning Artificer have faceplook pages for news and competitions, but I have no intention of signing or getting an Ipad for an app, if it comes out for android fair enough but I won't hold my breath waiting. :violin: :mrgreen:

Liberally sprinkled with some Terry Pratchett magic!
Soooo . . .

Assuming you've got an iPad and assuming you've got the app - who are you looking forward to meeting in the streets of A-M? And where would you explore?


I wonder if they have the Whore Pits? :think: ;)

The shame of it is that it looks like it might be a really nice looking app. The screen shots that Transworld have been showing on the facebook page look really nice and I would really like to play with it but there is no way I am going to purchase an iPad. Now, you have to understand, if somebody gave me an iPad I wouldn't throw it away - but I certainly wouldn't pay for one.

So, if you could visit Ankh - Morpork

- Which characters would you hope to find?
- Which streets would you like to explore?

I had fun with the Compleat Ankh-Morpork working out routes around the city. I wonder if the app will have the equivalent of googlemaps and allow you to plan routes. That would be cool!
