GURPS Discworld was written by Phil Masters and Terry Pratchett; its cover and illustrations were done by
Paul Kidby. It was published by
Steve Jackson Games in 1998.
GURPS Discworld was the first book to include the
GURPS Lite rules. The
GURPS Lite rules were included as an appendix, meaning it was not necessary to purchase
GURPS Basic in order to play. In March 2001, Steve Jackson Games published a sequel under the title
GURPS Discworld Also. It was written by Phil Masters, again with the assistance of Terry Pratchett. Cover and illustrations were done by Sean Murray. The supplement covered recent events in the book series, including details about the
Unseen University. Among the scenarios included is
EckEckEcksEcksian Cart Wars, based on the
Mad Max parody segments of
The Last Continent and Steve Jackson Games' own
Car Wars and
GURPS Autoduel setting. The original book was republished in 2002 by Steve Jackson Games with the
GURPS Lite rules integrated throughout the text. The title was changed from
GURPS Discworld to
Discworld Roleplaying Game to reinforce its stand-alone capabilities. Illustrations were once again done by Paul Kidby. This "second edition" was written, playtested and laid out in 2014, but had trouble getting to market, according to Steve Jackson Games' 2014 Stakeholder's Report. It was finally released as
Discworld Roleplaying Game in December 2016, after Pratchett's death. ==Books==
