Modiphius Reveals ‘Discworld RPG’ In Action With Dragon-Filled Live Stream
Want to see the new Discworld RPG in action? Modiphius showcases the whole system with a new livestream that’s up right now.
The upcoming Discworld RPG from Modiphius promises all sorts of hilarity. With a new pun-based rules engine that gives players different dice while also drawing upon the many characters and the rich setting of Sir Terry Pratchett’s Discworld. Especially Ankh-Morpork, but, you know, the world is wide. And flat.
You can see it all for yourself right now in a live stream session on Modiphius’ YouTube channel. It’s only just getting started at press time, but the recording should still be there no matter when you’re reading this.
Unless you’re reading this in a thousand years, in which case it’s anyone’s guess. But hey, good luck, future you. This was how our society once shared news about the games we played around the tabletop. If you don’t know what a tabletop is, just reconstitute someone from our age and they can explain everything. Well. Many things.

In a new livestream featuring Abubakar Salim, Liv Kennedy, Josephine McAdams, and run by GM Quinns (of Shut Up & Sit Down), Modiphius showcases the whole ruleset in the best way possible, in action. One of the core mechanics is trying to beat the GM’s roll, which is always on a d8. And depending on your justifications, you might have anywhere from a d4 to a d12.
And that’s before the puns come into play. This particular adventure evokes Guards! Guards! and features members of the City Watch.
“In this adventure from the Discworld: Adventures in Ankh-Morpork Quickstart, a number of dragons have been stolen from the Lady Sybil Ramkin Sunshine Sanctuary. But why? What sort of monster could have stolen these little darlings, and for what nefarious purpose?
Our intrepid band of Watchmen are tasked with solving the case while avoiding causing any harm to the honest people of Ankh-Morpork, acting with utmost professionalism, and crucially, avoiding any more paperwork than is absolutely necessary.”
Look for the Discworld RPG Kickstarter, later this month!
