    • Discworld plug?


      heh. that would be wuite cool obviously the Disc would be teh Universe and places like Ank morpork would be galaxies/systems or even planets but you could still make it quite cool with dragons etc. and you could have "Rincewind" as the fastest ship 😛 ok im getting a bit carried away but the thought amuses me and when something amuses me i tend to ramble have you noticed that? i though i noticed you noticing 😛

      It's a large and rather strange series of fantasy books based in a very nonsensical universe. Many of my friends say it's very funny, but I've never bothered with it myself.

      1. Learn the hell how to spell buddy.

      2. Yes that would be cool... I'll do it tomorrow.

      3. No wait, I'm busy tomorrow.

      Discworld is pretty damn good, but somehow I think that nova is not the most likely thing to make a game for it with. Try Coldstone, although you will get sued eventually.

      Or at least punctuate. I feel out of breath just reading your post.

    • The disc world novels are by Terry Pratchett (one of the few writers that can actually make me laugh out loud). If you like Douglas Adams's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, you'll probably like the disc world books. They have the same satirical world view, and some of the later ones actually posses a grain of deeper meaning. Try Thief of Time, it's a good starter book.

    • Yeah, sorry about the spelling/punctuation mistakes I was in a rush adn It was just a random idea so I didnt bother to read over it to make sure it said exactly what I want , thus the large amount of errors. Theres also the problem that my grammar is ****e. (Yes thats ****e with an "e").

      I beg to differ. I try and pick the books for first-time Pratchett readers so the story reflects their tastes a bit. For example, a friend of mine worked doing layout for several weekly publications, so I had him read "The Truth." Another friend is a classical musician, so I had him read "Soul Music".

      "Reaper Man", "Mort", and "The Amazing Morice and his Educated Rodents" are three of his best books. I, personally, enjoyed "Lords and Ladies" as well, but that my be just because I have a strong background in folklore and faerie tales.
