Are you a fan of Terry Pratchett’s witty and whimsical Discworld novels? Prepare to embark on an exciting journey into this fantastical realm with the Discworld Roleplaying Game Second Edition Bundle!
What’s in the Bundle?
This bundle gives you the 2016 standalone Discworld Roleplaying Game powered by GURPS (the Generic Universal RolePlaying System) from Steve Jackson Games. That means you have everything you need to start crafting your crazy Discworld adventures!
About the Discworld
Prepare to have your understanding of physics and logic turned upside down! The Discworld, the setting of the game, is a realm where the laws of nature are delightfully askew. It’s a flat disc balanced on the backs of four colossal elephants, who in turn stand on the shell of Great A’Tuin, a massive space turtle. This whimsical world is your playground in the Discworld Roleplaying Game.
Magic is as commonplace as breathing on the Discworld. Its very existence warps reality – what people believe strongly enough, or what follows a good story, often becomes real.
Disc Collection – $14.95
The retail value on offer here is $59, and the core rules will normally cost you $30 alone.
- Discworld Roleplaying Game

Steve Jackson Games first released the RPG in 1998 under the title GURPS Discworld, followed by a supplement and then a standalone version in 2002. A revised Second Edition came out in 2016 with its own custom ruleset.
These games hold a special place as they were created in consultation with Sir Terry Pratchett. While not strictly canon, they carry his playful spirit and offer the chance to explore the Discworld through his guidance.
The game’s design credits both Phil Masters and Terry Pratchett, a true testament to their collaboration. Steve Jackson affirms Pratchett as co-author, making the Discworld Roleplaying Game a unique treasure where the author’s own words shape the experience.
It’ll be a miracle if I make it to the end of the blog post without my usual ‘Discoworld’ typo. ~Girdy
