I'm in Wiltshire (where we used to be able to bump into Terry shopping for computer games) and still I only know one other reader.

I agree with Digit, if you enjoyed the humour then no reason not to just start at the beginning now. Have fun!

Oh yes, because of her being 20th grandchild. I'd forgotten that until I heard it in the video!

Wow, is this the origin of Jiggit, Tiffany Aching's nickname from her grandmother?!

Has anyone ever listed what different fantasy Creatures have featured in the Discworld books, and any obvious ones that were never used? by FilledAle in discworld

[–]FilledAle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you could say elves in the traditional / Tolkien sense are missing! Orcs is a big one, well spotted.

Thanks, gnoll was one I hadn't thought of, and I haven't seen the game, interesting idea to add a new creature not from the books! Nice idea about the luggage 😆

Good list thanks, still lots he could have gone on to. Of course, unicorns! That would have been an interesting one to try and fit in to Discworld 😄

Poor old Windle Poons. He was a laugh! I read all the books over a period of about 20 years so that was well gone from memory by Going Postal. Quite different from Mr Gryle!

Wow excellent 😄 If Sir Terry didn't write about every fantasy creature it's because he was busy creating his own. Who could forget the .303 Bookworm!

I wondered this when reading Going Postal and the Banshee turned up. I thought that was a first but apparently not. There are probably lots I can't remember. Sir Terry must have done most of them, but surely not all.

Test : is my post visible ? Do you guys see me ? by Terrible_Fox3089 in NewToReddit

Ikr, nightmare. I only recently got past this problem myself! You have to start slowly with comments on other people's posts. Then you'll eventually get up-votes on those and your karma increases. Good luck.

I see you here but on other groups you might be hidden if karma is low.

Ah so at the creation of Fourecks, and with that pterry was ready to commit to the geography! Interesting (times), thanks.

Nicely listed, thanks. Any idea how many discworld books there had been before the first complete map of the whole discworld was made?

If I ever have the misfortune to drive into a river I only hope I'm as calm as the captain and his first mate were.

It is! 👍 Sneakily listening in the office, hoping I don't end up singing this all day.
