The previously announced Discworld: Adventures in Ankh-Morpork, the first TTRPG for Discworld in 20 years, will launch on Kickstarter on October 15th. Modiphius has not said whether the Discworld TTRPG will use its 2D20 system or a new RPG, but those who sign up to the Discworld mailing list will have access to a Quickstart guide later this month before everyone else. (UPDATE: <a href="https://www.gamesradar.com/tabletop-gaming/exclusive-the-discworld-rpg-gleefully-ignores-modifiers-to-dice-and-anything-crunchy-in-favor-of-puns/" target="_blank">A GamesRadar+ article confirms this will be a new game system</a>, which includes no modifiers to dice and is narrative-focused.)Discworld is the beloved fantasy world created by Sir Terry Pratchett. The Discworld novels written by Pratchett weren't a unified series per se, but rather a collection of different characters and storylines that all took place in the same world and were unified by Pratchett's beloved whimsical storytelling manner. The first Discworld book, The Colour of Magic, is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year.More details can be found below:[callout]Publisher of tabletop RPGs, wargames and board games, Modiphius Entertainment Ltd. has today announced that its Kickstarter campaign for the TTRPG Discworld: Adventures in Ankh-Morpork will launch on 15th October 2024.
