[QUOTE="Savage Wombat, post: 1200159, member: 1932"] Well, as the GURPS: Discworld book points out, sometimes the best you can do is give the players Discworld characters and hope they roleplay well. Trying to make a silly adventure doesn't work well. PTerry's written about the elves twice now, and neither time were they at all funny. Basically - throw in Discworld arcana, like the aforementioned bookworm. There's a scene in a Discworld Also adventure where, for no real reason, the party wakes up to find a village has sprung up around them in the night - hermit elephants, don't you know. I'd even suggest preparing a few Footnotes, so that when you have expository narrative, you can drop in a silly remark. Most of all, when the players make the effort to play Discworldesque, reward them with success. It moves the story along, and gets the players to work towards. [/QUOTE]
