Footnotes
- ↑ A template using this abbreviation has been set up to make linking to this game easier. Type the acronym in braces, e.g. {{DVG}} will produce Discworld. By convention, we’re hiding parenthetical distinctions like “(videogame)” which are needed to avoid clashes with existing articles. Where it’s not obvious in context, use a regular wiki link and be explicit, e.g. “also appeared in the Discworld adventure game”.
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 If the game is based on or heavily references a specific book, we’ll add it’s position in the Discworld series here. Where multiple stories were used as inspiration, we’ve listed all of them in order.
- ↑ It was opened to the public in 1992.
- ↑ If you’re not familiar with this term, it’s essentially a text-based MMORPG - on online roleplaying game.
- ↑ Discworld MUD has been massively expanded and continues to be maintained by a large subset of the player community. The folks credited with originally creating it in 1991 are David “Pinkfish” Bennett, Craig “Furball” Richmond, Sean A. “Lynscar” Reith and Evan Scott. Derek "Ceres” Harding and Jacqui "Sojan” Greenland are also named as major contributors.
- ↑ Released as Discworld II: Mortality Bytes! in the US.
- ↑ The work or works on which this game draws.
- ↑ 8.0 8.1 8.2 Three books were released for the roleplaying game, which used the generic GURPS rules: the first included GURPS Lite (3rd edition) as a separate section of the book to the Discworld-specific information; the second was a supplement adding more species, monsters, spells and world information. The third is a revised edition which combined the info from both previous books, integrated the 4th edition GURPS Lite rules throughout the text, and dropped “GURPS” from the title so it would be easier for fans to find.
- ↑ A revised edition with updated rules was released in 2012.
- ↑ Announced on February 29, 2024, with a crowdfunding campagin to come in “late 2024”, this is intended as the first in a series of Discworld rolplaying games.
