FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

London, ENGLAND: Wednesday 11th September

 

Publisher of tabletop RPGs, wargames and board games, Modiphius Entertainment Ltd. has today announced that its Kickstarter campaign for the TTRPG Discworld: Adventures in Ankh-Morpork will launch on 15th October 2024. Fans can be notified when the Kickstarter launches by signing up here.

 

Modiphius recently announced that it had secured the rights to produce the first new roleplaying game for Terry Pratchett’s internationally bestselling Discworld series in over 20 years. After negotiating an agreement with the estate of the late Sir Terry, Modiphius looks to publish tabletop games that honour the humour, satire, and darkly entertaining fantasy series.

 

With this year marking the 40th anniversary of the release of The Colour of Magic, Modiphius’ roleplaying game will be the first RPG for Discworld since 1998, when Steve Jackson Games published a sourcebook using its GURPS rules.

 

Those who are signed up to the Modiphius Discworld mailing list will have an exclusive preview of the Quickstart rules 24 hours earlier than the rest of the public, when it previews later this month.

 

Modiphius has a reputation for creating authentic and immersive licensed tabletop games around global IPs, having produced award-winning games for Conan™, Star Trek™, John Carter of Mars™, Fallout™, and The Elder Scrolls™.
