Dec 08, 2008 14:15:40 I run a weekly 4th edition game that is based in the diskworld universe.
The players are

Nuern - a doppleganger Wizard- (an Uberwald vampire experiment)
Snow - Troll Cleric - (reflavored miniataur)
Steel - Golem Paladin - (Reflavored Warforged)
Crom - Dwarf Fighter

They own a small business in Ankh-Morpork called the Ankh-Morpork lost and found. They do odd jobs and solve mysteries.

As for rules wise I haven't felt the need to change anything.

I believe the mechanics are fine just change the flavor.

I agree. 4ed mechanics are absolutely PERFECT for a disc world setting.

Dec 09, 2008 9:22:24 hmm.. one thing that i would like to come to know is how you handle that trolls in Discworld like Stonegolems, who get a IN-bouns if its cold. D&D trolls are like Tolkien's trolls.

Now I'm envisioning dwarf rogues reflavoring shuriken as drop scones... although I don't think it would change the flavor all that much. ;)

Dec 09, 2008 14:18:26 Well my wife plays the troll cleric and she just role plays the difference in temperature. I haven't added any campaign specific rules at all. I think it all really comes down to, no matter the system, how you tell the story. With discworld you need humor. Lots of humor. Of coarse I love the idea of Dickens mixed with D&D. Thats why I love Ankh-morpork.

What else were you thinking?
