A book ideal for groups of Pratchett fans,
By A Customer
This review is from: GURPS: Discworld (GURPS: Generic Universal Role Playing System) (Paperback)
This book is essentially a thorough Discworld Companion that allows to that allows you to wander through the Discworld in the lulls between paperback releases.Co-written by Terry Pratchett, and riddled with Pratchett humour, this book is all you to run a Discworld role-playing game. You just need to add friends, dice and a dinning room table!

This is Brilliant,
By A Customer
This review is from: GURPS: Discworld (GURPS: Generic Universal Role Playing System) (Paperback)
As a long time Discworld fan, I couldn't wait to get hold of this book. When I finally did, I was exstatic. It was the best one possible for running Discworld games, better even than rival D&D Forgotten Realms, which was genrally agreed as the best D&D game ever. I loved it because of it's humerous content and it's success in capturing the spirit of the Discworld within the GURPS rules.

wow, SJGames does it again...,
By Alex_Cunningham@holderness.org - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: GURPS: Discworld (GURPS: Generic Universal Role Playing System) (Paperback)
and absolutely blows me away with their Discworld supplement. before i read the Gurps books, i had never even heard of (let alone read) the Discworld book series or their author, Terry Prachett. now, of course, i am in love with the Disc. SJGames had disappointed me before with their attempts to adapt things for GURPS (the World of Darkness adaptations, in particular), but i could have read Gurps: Discworld, ignorign the rules, and still have laughed my ass off, marvelling at the imagination of Prachett and the beauty with which they condensed a huge (14 book) novel series into about 200 pages of humour, drama, adventure, and yes, stats. this is, of course, not to mention the absolutely GORGEOUS art littered about the insides. i don't know where they found Bill Kidby, but i hope they paid him enough to keep him interested in doing more work for Steve Jackson. basically, if oyu want a good sourcebook for the Discworld, well...world, if you want a book full of fabulous (and hilarious) fantasy art, or even if you want another GURPS book, make this it.

Excellent book for an obsessed fan.,
By bookhobbit - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: GURPS: Discworld (GURPS: Generic Universal Role Playing System) (Paperback)
GURPS Discworld, I must say, is chock-full of interesting information about the Disc. This alone is a good reason to buy it. I'm not familiar with the GURPS system- or I wasn't before I got this, anyway- but it was still very readable.
However, I'd recommend reading the Introduction to GURPS at the back first, if you're also relatively unfamiliar with the system. It'll help. I honestly bought this book half for the illustrations. These were well worth it, as they are of wonderful quality and great quantity. There's also character stats, which is great fun. I haven't actually used this book to RP with, since I don't know anyone else who likes Discworld, so I can't judge it on that front. But if you're a big fan of the Disc, this book might make a good addition to your collection. |
