New Discworld game from Wallace

***ing called it (to quote Mr Tulip).

Not many details yet but they are pushing to release in September of this year. I'm pretty optimistic about how good it will be. While others criticised Ankh Morpork, I found it a fun and chaotic little game that appealed to non-gaming family and to the more experienced alike.

Martin Wallace wisely left many areas of the Discworld mythos untouched. The Witches was the obvious expansion but if this one goes well we could certainly see games set around Cohen the Barbarian, Rincewind or the Assassin's Guild.

Cooperative play also sounds intriguing and suggests a definite change in direction from the cut throat style of Ankh Morpork.
