Carolina CarterHOST
Next question.
Carolina CarterHOST
Should we take a pause for our Discworld delight? Yeah,
Mary C. KehoeHOST
that's a good idea.
Carolina CarterHOST
Okay, I have a confession.
speaker_4ANNOUNCER
Del was held up to be tall enough to find another wizard, who's now the team's guide.
speaker_4ANNOUNCER
Tyler found out how footnotes work in Discworld and explained it to a very confused Adam.

And after all of that, our heroes were brought to see Death playing a game of chess, and joined a horse as the audience for the match.

Can Wet Change survive a conversation with the literal embodiment of Death? I doubt it.
Tom McGeeNARRATOR
There are not many who have encountered a full-size horse in a library.
Tom McGeeNARRATOR
The few that have have often said it's a rather large inconvenience, although one was simply impressed that the horse was so respectful of the quiet rules and left five minutes before closing, which is truly only polite and reasonable in a place that has to do so much filing.
Tom McGeeNARRATOR
In any case, the horse standing in the Unseen Universities Library in Ankh-Morpork on the Discworld was being ignored tactfully by all around it.
Tom McGeeNARRATOR
The horse, its rider, Death, and the wizard playing chess with him were all being ignored by everyone except for four strangers from another world who were staring at them rather intently and ready to come up with a plan as to how best to tackle them.

In any case, the horse standing in the unseen university's library in Ankh-Morpork on the Discworld... was being ignored tactfully by all around it.

Jonathan RidgwayHOST
It's
Josh WattsHOST
very Discworld, very Terry Pratchett.
Jonathan RidgwayHOST
Yes.
Jonathan RidgwayHOST
For me, I equate it to, if you've ever read The Hobbit and comparing that to The Lord of the Rings, The Lord of the Rings is a bit more of a serious epic, whereas The Hobbit is a bit more of a children's fairytale fantasy book.
Kevin BladesHOST
Oh, yeah.
Kevin BladesHOST
As much as I love Discworld, I don't want that.
Kevin BladesHOST
Right.
AndrewHOST
I may have, I want to believe that this is what happened, but I met Terry in New York at New York Comic Con and we were the last people in line.
GlyzaPANELIST
I don't
Daniel HindsPANELIST
know a little bit of carrot from Discworld, I think.
GlyzaPANELIST
I mean, I know exactly what my character is and it's not heroic.
GlyzaPANELIST
So we need one heroic
Elliott KalanHOST
Hank Morpork.
Elliott KalanHOST
That's the city from Discworld.
Elliott KalanHOST
Yeah.
Dan McCoyHOST
Okay.
Tom McGeeHOST
Is it greed? Might be greed.
Tom McGeeHOST
Well, in any case, this was true in the Discworld as it was in all other shaped worlds.
Tom McGeeHOST
Now, you'd be forgiven for thinking it might be different on a big round plate balanced on the backs of four elephants, who in turn stand atop the back of a great turtle, the great Atuan, as he slowly swims through space.
Tom McGeeHOST
You'd be forgiven for thinking that, but you'd be wrong.
Tom McGeeHOST
Around them, the denizens of the university tactfully ignored them, as was only polite for a game challenging Death himself.
Tom McGeeHOST
"I'm still thinking," Death said.
Tom McGeeHOST
And so it was that indecision moved one of the greatest forces on the Discworld to abandon his post.
Tom McGeeHOST
What followed was delightful chaos.

Craig PerryHOST
I think, you know, I put this on the Discord.
Craig PerryHOST
Having now finished all of the Discworld books, at least the mainline ones, I know there's some other little bits and pieces, but that, I'll be honest, fills me with a bit of dread.
Craig PerryHOST
I think, Jason, I'll gladly let you run that because that feels so loose to me.
Craig PerryHOST
I think I would really struggle.
