The World
« on: November 21, 2005, 08:35:45 pm »
I'm thinking that I'm going to base this game's world on the Diskworld series of books, by Terry Pratchett.  Are any of you familiar with these books?

It is a good world, and I will give an outline of it at a later date.

Isn't that the one with the damned turtle holding the universe on its back?

Hell yeah I'm up for that! :D

I'm not really familiar with it other than the fact I've listed above (I only read the last half of The Color of Magic).

Yep, that's the world! 

I'll dig up some info on it later.  Tons++ of stuff on wikipedia, though.

Awesome! :)

When you find some stuff, let me know (via the forums :D) and I'll read it in computer graphics when I'm supposed to be tracing a pitcture of a dog on a wacom tablet :D

Well, let's rip off Wikipedia for now and worry about the rest later :)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discworld_%28world%29

Note that if you want to take any of the races listed on the page, you can.
