The City of a Thousand Surprises: Discworld Adventures
"Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he’s warm for the rest of his life."
-Terry Pratchett, Jingo
Welcome to the sprawling, soot-covered, and utterly chaotic metropolis of Ankh-Morpork. We’re gathering at the historic Malt Cross for an evening of comedy and high-stakes (but mostly low-standard) adventure using the official Discworld Roleplaying Game.
The Job: Up in Smoke
It was supposed to be a quiet shift. But in the city where the wizards are volatile, the trolls are heavy, and the Guild of Firefighters is... well, technically a guild, things have gone slightly pear-shaped.
In "Up in Smoke," your ragtag unit of The Watch has been swept up in a mystery involving a missing dragon, a suspicious amount of charcoal, and a trail of smoke leading toward the posh end of town. Can you navigate the city’s treacherous streets, and its even more treacherous bureaucracy, to save the day before everything goes up in flames?
Why Walk the Streets of Ankh-Morpork?
- Wit Over Weapons: While there is plenty of action, Discworld games reward clever thinking, fast talking, and the occasional well-timed pun.
- Iconic Setting: Experience the sights, sounds, and smells of the Disc’s greatest city within the beautiful Victorian architecture of the Malt Cross.
- Beginners Welcome: Whether you’ve read every book or don't know a Rincewind from a Vetinari, the rules are easy to learn and the DM will guide you through the madness.
What to Expect
- The Orientation: A quick guide to the city (don’t drink the water) and your character’s unique quirks.
- The Mystery: 3 hours of investigative chaos as you track a potential arsonist through the Shades and beyond.
- The Refreshments: Enjoy the Malt Cross’s excellent selection of beverages (guaranteed 100% more sanitary than anything found in the Mended Drum).
Only 6 spots available! Don't let your chance to save the city go up in smoke, grab your ticket now!
