GamesRadar+ can exclusively reveal that Modiphius, the studio responsible for tabletop adaptations of Star Trek, Fallout, and more, is working on a Discworld TTRPG.
Having secured the rights to the beloved series with an agreement from the late author Sir Terry Pratchett’s estate, Modiphius is already at work on a Discworld roleplaying game “around the city of Ankh-Morpork and the wider Disc.” This will hit Kickstarter later in the year.
Dubbed ‘Terry Pratchett’s Discworld: Adventures in Ankh-Morpork,’ it’s the first tabletop RPG to use that setting in almost 30 years. (To be precise, Discworld’s last pen-and-paper outing was in 1998.) While it’s unclear whether this version will use a new system or utilize one from the best tabletop RPGs, Modiphius promises “to publish tabletop games that honor the humor, satire, and darkly entertaining fantasy series.”
That’s my guess. Modiphius have a lot of experience with franchise RPGs and there’s really no need to reinvent the wheel each time, so I assume they’ll pick a relevant system and give it a Discworld skin.
