Kirrus Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 I may not have known that guy, but one thing I know.He had a badass beard. *fantastic* fantasy author. Definitely check out his work. I've literally sat in a room, waiting to have an interview, giggling away at his books. (Monstrous Regiment) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mort. Wyrd Sisters. Guards, guards! But really, just start from the beginning and work forward. The early books wern't the greatest, they get better as you go through, but you'll also see characters develop.. like why Death likes humans.

Tooks Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I felt really sad when i found this out and then i caught the last 3 tweets on his twitter account and had to stop myself from crying.I like to imagine he's with Death having a long conversation about whats next. Ugh. You'll be missed Mr Pratchett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keepbro Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 He was the greatest satirist since Jonathan Swift. I don't think there'll be another like him for another century at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've literally sat in a room, waiting to have an interview, giggling away at his books. (Monstrous Regiment) Any particular books you recommend? I recommend Pyramids and Small Gods. They're standalone, so they don't continue any part of the other storylines. You can pick them up, read them, fall in love, and realize that tortoises are really just better than eagles anyway.

Kitt Frostpaws Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Has anybody heard what a bunch of guys are doing with their servers in tributes to Terry Pratchett? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainBinky Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Down at Rezzed, the morning after the news hit, me and Will spent about 20 minutes over coffee geeking out over characters he invented. Makes you realise the staggering creative output Sir Terry P was responsible for, that you can list character after character each of which tremendous, each making us giggle with fond memories of scenes and dialogue associated with them, and knowing we were only scratching the surface of his work. A staggering loss, but at least we can fill bookshelves with his immortal work and re-read them forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
