As a kid I somehow stumbled into Discworld first by playing the point-and-click PC game where Rincewind was voiced by Eric Idle (probably after much fumbling through soundcards settings). This is how I discovered the book series and have been a fan ever since. Such amazing books on so many levels!



“Did anyone get the number of that donkey cart?”

Same for me! Except I played it on PS1. I didn’t find out about the book series until like 10 years after. For better or for worse I now have a picture in my brain for Rincewind, Twoflower, and The Luggage purely based on the game. But still love it.


Same! For better or worse the image of the characters from those games are etched in my mind when reading through the relevant books.
