Ever wanted to roll dice in a world carried on the back of a giant turtle? If you're a tabletop fan with a soft spot for Terry Pratchett's Discworld, there's some genuinely exciting news heading your way.
The Discworld RPG is getting a brand-new sourcebook called Discworld: Adventures in Lancre and Überwald. As the name suggests, it's taking players into two of the most beloved corners of the Disc — the witchy, rural kingdom of Lancre and the spooky, gothic region of Überwald. And yes, that means witches and vampires are finally joining the party.
Let's talk about the headline addition: Granny Weatherwax. The formidable Lancre witch is one of Pratchett's most iconic characters, and she's now part of the RPG's lineup. If you've ever wanted to bring that kind of headology and no-nonsense attitude to your gaming table, this book has you covered. Alongside her come vampires, which opens up a whole new flavour of character options for players who like their adventurers with a bit of bite.
But it's not just about a couple of famous faces. The book reportedly packs in loads of character options, meaning you'll have plenty of new ways to build and play your heroes. Whether you lean toward the practical magic and rural wisdom of Lancre or the darker, more mysterious vibes of Überwald, there's material here to sink your teeth into — pun very much intended.
For longtime Discworld fans, this is a big deal. The Discworld RPG has been steadily building out its coverage of the Disc, and Lancre and Überwald are two regions readers have been clamouring to see fleshed out for the tabletop. Witches and vampires are core to the series' identity, so their arrival feels like a natural, welcome step.
For newcomers, it's also a great jumping-on point. You don't need to be a Pratchett scholar to enjoy a witch-heavy campaign or a gothic vampire adventure. The sourcebook gives you the tools, the flavour, and the character options to make the Disc your own — whether you're running a cozy village mystery or something far creepier in the shadows of Überwald.
So if your group has been looking for a fresh setting, or you've simply always wanted to play a witch with Granny Weatherwax energy, this one's worth keeping on your radar. It's more Discworld, more options, and more reasons to gather your friends around a table.
What do you think — will you be picking up Discworld: Adventures in Lancre and Überwald for your next campaign? And which side are you more excited for, the witches of Lancre or the vampires of Überwald? Let us know!
