Announcing the theme for Terry Pratchett Day 2024: START IN THE WRONG PLACE.
You'll hear people say time and time again that you can start anywhere with Terry Pratchett's work, but don't start in the right place*, so let's truly embrace the joy and chaos to be found in the many routes through Discworld and beyond.
We will be making Sunday 28th April, Sir Terry Pratchett's birthday, one brimming with bookish delight, celebrating the many ways we love and travel through his work, and we're inviting you to join us.
Follow along with The Terry Pratchett Estate to stay up to date. We will be sharing more ahead of the weekend on how to get involved.
*A lot of people say the right place is anything but the right place, which in turn, may make it an equally wrong place...

Exclusive: Discworld TTRPG in the works by studio behind Fallout wargames
Modiphius, the studio responsible for tabletop adaptations of Star Trek, Fallout, and more, is working on a Discworld TTRPG.
Having secured the rights to the beloved series with an agreement from the late author Sir Terry Pratchett's estate, Modiphius is already at work on a Discworld roleplaying game "around the city of Ankh-Morpork and the wider Disc." This will hit Kickstarter later in the year.

FORTY YEARS OF DISCWORLD!
In the beginning there was… a turtle, somewhere on the frontier between thought and reality. Now, in the midst of our Year of Discworld, we’re happy to unveil the logo for these celebrations!
On 24th November 2023, 40 years after the publication of Terry Pratchett's first Discworld book The Colour of Magic, it was announced that the coming year would be dedicated to four magical decades of the series.
The Estate’s goal every year - but even more so in this celebratory one - is to keep Sir Terry Pratchett’s writing alive and welcome new and returning readers into these wondrous pages. We'll have more of what to expect from the Year of Discworld in time...
