Discworld Fun
October 12, 2026 at 4:36 am
Again, inspired by a Boru post (Stop It!), I bring you a new thread where you can post and share some of the great things from the Late Sir Terry Pratchett's legendary Discworld.
Memes, quotes, memories, whatever.
Have at it
And remember, Nullus Anxietus!

If you tell me you’ve forgotten this one, I’ll give you such a smack.

You know, I recently discovered that one of the guys who originally helped develop Dungeons and Dragons is named Robert J Kuntz, and goes by Rob Kuntz.*
I can't help but wonder about inspiration for Sir Terry...

I did a laser engraving of this for my office door

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups
Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!

If you do, I would start with "The Colour of Magic" other people may have different opinions though!

“There is a rumour going around that I have found God. I think this is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.”

‘That I’ve never written any.’ - Sir Terry, when asked what was his most significant contribution to literature.
