Unfortunately, all speculation on the development of Discworld as a story is now a moot point. Terry Pratchett has Alzheimer's.

And yet he's still writing.

I've read them all.
The newest book, "I shall wear midnight", is incredibly dark.
Tiffany Aching has changed quite a bit from the previous novels.

Also, the next book is a watch novel.
I cannot wait.

Well it is by its very nature a setting that can fluxuate.

In fact Discworld is one of the few universes where plotholes are not plotholes.

Its a MUD, based off the game. Or so it says on the tin. Never played it, but someone might be interested in it.

Sir Samuel Vimes is the baddest mofo on the planet, and is a shining beacon of what it means to be lawful good.

I've red all the book, all very legally gotten, legitimately. >_>

my faves are by far the watch, and the industrial revolution ones.

the deats ones are also great.

Sweet, I'll have to see if I can pick that one up.  Glad to see a dark one after Unseen Academicals.
My county libraries already have 4 on order!  And only 2 holds, better get it on hold ASAP.

And Watch novel hell yeah!

I hate Unseen Academicals and the Rincewind series was already over before that. Right?

There's a Discworld adventure game. It's abandonware. It took me ages to track down, but there IS a version downloadable with the full voices in it, which are done by some rather famous voice actors (including a couple Monty Python members). Not sure what Toady thinks of linking abandonware downloads though.

There's at least 3 (4 if you count some ultra old 8-bit game with sprites that look like crushed shrimp). Discworld 1 and 2, which are zany point-and-click adventure games voiced by Eric Idle (of Monty Python), and Discworld Noir which is more like a 2.5D adventure about a private detective, a bit like Grim Fandango.
