Only 66 and gone. So sad. I loved the Disc World series.

A huge loss. But we can still spend time in his presence by reading his books... flowers

Fortunately we can. I've been adding to my collection with English versions of the earlier books. I bought quite a few in Dutch years ago, but the English versions are better, without the added filter of a translator. I was lucky enough to have met him a couple of times at the Elf Fantasy Fair in the Netherlands. Got quite a few books signed as well. I especially cherish my copy of Good Omens as I got both authors' signatures.

That's great that you were able to meet him (and more than once!). And it sounds like you have a very nice collection. wave

Both DiscWorld games are on my recommendation list every year and are some of my all time favorite games.


It's nice to be important but it is much more important to be nice.

I loved Discworld Noir. Third Discworld game, but first I played. Its one of the few I have played more than twice. I haven't read any of the books but I have watched an animated video based on one.

RIP
