About this deal

Cosgrove Hall produced several animated adaptations for Channel 4 from 1996 to 1997. All three star Christopher Lee as Death. These were made available on DVD and VHS in the US from Acorn Media.

A revised second edition, the Discworld Roleplaying Game, was published in 2016. It combined the content of the previous two books with new material, and updated the rules to GURPS Fourth Edition. Run Rincewind Run! (2007): A Snowgum Films original story created for Nullus Anxietas. Stars Troy Larkin as Rincewind, and features Terry Pratchett as himself. Ordinary fortune-tellers tell you what you want to happen; witches tell you what’s going to happen whether you want it to or not. Strangely enough, witches tend to be more accurate but less popular.” In fact, they'd prefer to burn witches for little less than the suspicion of being one. You see, most people there, unlike Tiffany, do not stop to *think* about what they're doing and *why* they're doing it. But Tiffany is not the one to go along with the crowd thinking without stopping to think for herself and question her motives and reasons.A new updated version was released in 2021, titled The Ultimate Discworld Companion. ISBN 978-1-473-22350-9.

These stylistic decisions make it somewhat easier to digest, by minimizing the postmodernist sophisticated satire approach, it has a kind of ease and levity the original Discworld couldn´t deliver, because one had to expect a hidden innuendo or actual heavier plot action behind each corner. Not to talk about the feeling of awe the general Discworld leaves after having finished one more masterpiece, the realization of the fact that a comedic fantasy author owned the whole society. Again It sounds amateurish to say that characters invent themselves, and in truth they don't. That's just a short-hand phrase. Of course the author invents them. But while the creative channel is being held open, all sorts of memories and thoughts creep out, somewhat to the owner's surprise. Where's My Cow? (2005) A Discworld picture book referenced in Thud! and Wintersmith, written by Pratchett with illustrations by Melvyn Grant. ISBN 978-0-385-60937-1. A further updated version was released in 2012, titled Turtle Recall: The Discworld Companion . . . So Far. [31] ISBN 978-0-575-09120-7. Shan, Darren (26 November 2012). "TURTLE RECALL: The Discworld Companion . . . So Far | Ynci the Short-Tempered". Gollancz Blog. Archived from the original on 3 June 2013 . Retrieved 31 May 2013.In 2008, Harper Children's published Terry's standalone non-Discworld YA novel, Nation. Terry published Snuff in October 2011. The World of Poo (2012) Another in-universe children's book (similar to Where's My Cow), referenced in Snuff. ISBN 978-0-85752-121-7 The Stage / News / Sky set for more Pratchett adaptations". 6 March 2012. Archived from the original on 6 March 2012. {{ cite web}}: CS1 maint: bot: original URL status unknown ( link) When Tiffany is in her late teens, Granny Weatherwax dies, leaving a note recommending that Tiffany take over her steading. Though at first she splits her time between there and the chalk, she eventually leaves the steading to the care of Geoffrey, a man she had been training to become a witch. She builds for herself her own shepherd's carding hut by hand, so as to live up on the chalk, re-using the iron wheels which remained after Granny Aching's hut was burned. Received the Prometheus Award in 2003; [15] came 73rd in the Big Read; [7] Locus Award nominee, 2003 [15]

Tiffany is 9 years old in The Wee Free Men, and around two years elapse between subsequent novels. She is stated to be 16 in I Shall Wear Midnight. Nanny Ogg's Cookbook (1999) A collection of Discworld recipes, combined with etiquette, language of flowers etc., written by Pratchett with Stephen Briggs and Tina Hannan. ISBN 978-0-385-60005-7. Thud, 2002, by Trevor Truran, publisher The Cunning Artificer. It resembles ancient Norse games such as Hnefatafl, and involves two unequal sides, Trolls and Dwarves with different moves and 'capture' abilities. [85] The late Pratchetts´children´s and YA books are very different from the original Discworld series, I would call it a completely other kind of writing, melancholic, less dealing with meta criticism, using a modified tone to be best for the new audience he decided to explore worlds with.Additionally, another short story " Turntables of the Night" (1989) is set in England but features Death as a character; it is available online and in both anthologies. A Hat Full of Sky: Tiffany Aching is ready to begin her apprenticeship in magic. She expects spells and magic—not chores and ill-tempered nanny goats! Surely there must be more to witchcraft than this! Indeed, there is. . . . Welcome to the Discworld (1996) – an 8-minute animated television adaptation of a fragment of Reaper Man.
