guys i'm over 70% of the way through Night Watch right now and.....god I don't even know what to say. i still have 1/4 of the book left but i think my life has been changed.........they're waving the flags of Ankh-Morpork and singing the national anthem at the barricades because they are fighting for the city. they aren't rebelling against the city, they're fighting to fix it.....they're fighting for truth, justice, freedom, reasonably priced love, and a hard boiled egg..........the government is trying to name them enemies of the state but....that's just not what they are. they are The People of Ankh-Morpork, and they're rebelling against the injustice that's become ingrained in society, not against society itself...........

#this might be a little incomprehensible but i just have a lot of feelings. and i'm definitely going to have more once i finish it #i'm not the same person that i was yesterday afternoon #i know i kinda said i'd keep everyone updated but i just don't think i can #i'm not even done with it yet but now i know why this book is so beloved. #and i'm not. even done with it yet. #i'm pretty sure i'm gonna cry at some point ngl #vin speaks #vin reads discworld #discworld #night watch #gnu terry pratchett #terry pratchett #the glorious 25th of may

I had an epiphany today.

In Oblivion I play Moist VonLipwig from Discworld.

For some context, lately I find it really hard to get into RPGs unless I'm, you know, playing a character. For example, I have trouble playing Skyrim normally because I'm familiar enough with it to know the Optimal Build, so I make characters with limits and restrictions to make it interesting.

Enter Oblivion. I've bounced off of it and Morrowind (though I recently discovered why I kept having trouble in Morrowind mechanically so I'll go back to that at a later date) for a few years because I know Oblivion gets a huge difficulty spike if you don't level properly. I got the urge recently, so I bit the bullet and looked up a guide and made a character based on that guide. The guide basically says to build your starting class for the skills you DON'T use, or are hard to level. Mercantilism, speechcraft, security, that kind of thing.

So my starting character is a smooth talking merchant with sticky fingers who finally got caught and sent to jail (which funny enough is actually Moist's introduction in Discworld). Then he was tasked with improving society somewhat by the emperor (also Moist's canon event) so he adopts this grand, heroic facade and doubles down any time it's in question. But, of course, he's not above some sly-handed double dealing if it'll give him a leg up. Classic Moist!

In the weeks since this flimsy, sleazy merchant has been questing around Cyrodiil, he's fully embraced heroic heavy armor, picked up the sword and board, and is constantly at a full sprint, practically skipping (because I'm jumping all the time), and cycling minor practice spells on anyone he can get his hands on for training. He's the epitome of 'Fake It Till You Make It' and eventually he’ll bluff his way to leadership of every major faction in the capital. 

I decided he accidentally gets himself crowned Emperor post-game because he essentially has total control over the political landscape at that point. The coronation completely blind-sides him because he’s been planning his grand escape to Elsweyr with the royal jewels (but not the treasury! Need to be able to pay the little people and support the infrastructure, after all) all the way until the crown’s lowered onto his head.

I haven’t thought about his relationship to Martin yet because I haven’t gotten that far. I’m still early game, and I bee-lined it straight for the Mage’s Guild so I could start mixing spells finally.

Well... Slight hiccup in my Discworld reading...

It’s been a while, and that’s because my ebook copy of I Shall Wear Midnight is corrupted and I haven’t been able to fix it or replace it. So I’m working on getting maybe a physical copy or if anyone has an ebook copy they’re willing to share that’d be awesome but for now, I’ll have to rely on whenever I can get to the local library to get a physical copy.

Thanks for the patience!

I might start writing a discworld fanfiction where Rincewind is one of the witches

#Ofc it would be a Shakespeare parody #Not sure which one yet? But yeah #Also I’d need to figure out why he’s there etc. #I don’t have many ideas yet but I’ll update this when I get some #Discworld #Rincewind #witches

[lady-k-here-as-well]

Found these at Oxfam today - progress!!!

They’re all relatively new ones, so no matching covers for me but it’s fineeeee

Current counts are at:

21/41 owned

36/41 read

#discworld #progress update I guess??? #mostly just happy to have found more of the books #eternally heartbroken that all 41 books don’t follow the same format/size #but like it makes sense #contenting myself with slowly collecting the first 24 in matching covers #rambles

"It's not that I miss him," Rincewind said, irritably.

The Luggage, sat on the floor facing him, said nothing.

Update for November from the upcoming Good Omens Graphic Novel! :) ❤

Apparently I’m a demon and I lied: we won’t be doing more frequent updates, split between information and reveals. We had heard feedback that the updates were too long; then last month, we heard even more feedback that people liked the comprehensive updates after our last one, so instead of promising a particular amount, we will mostly stick to monthly, but play it by ear if anything special comes along…

We did say we’d be back with some exciting things: we’ve already shared with you Rachael Stott’s beautiful alt cover featuring Crowley and Aziraphale, but here is Bookshop Blaze, the print included in Loot Box #1 (Serpent Tier+). Isn’t she a beauty?

What we’re also hearing, every time Aziraphale is illustrated alongside ducks is, “More ducks”, so meet the duckling enamel pin (Demon Tier+). Any angelic duck names welcomed.

As for the mystery packs, we promised more pins and more pins you shall have. These mystery packs are add ons, and these five are just a sampling of what is to come. To keep track of the enamel pins, you can visit goodomenshq.com.

We’ve had sample pins showing up and while most that we have in person we’re yet to reveal, here is the fearsome hellhound Dog in all his glory:

Some eagle-eyed fans spotted another pin cameo: Sir Terry Pratchett pins appeared at Neil Gaiman and Rob Wilkins’ event at the British Library, which celebrated the Worlds of Terry Pratchett, just in time for the 40th anniversary of Discworld. You can watch that event here. 

PledgeManager

Onto more logistical updates, while PledgeManager is closer to being ready, we will now be launching this in March. We’re working on some additional versions of items based on your suggestions, ensuring everything is locked in for shipping everywhere, dotting the is, crossing the ts. This is a busy time of year for everyone, and so it seems best for all, rather than to rush the process, we instead give everyone a decent bit of notice with a much firmer date, and hit 2024 with some gusto.

On that note, as a reminder, PledgeManager is where we will process shipping addresses and payment, so don’t worry about not supplying addresses yet, or indeed moving in between now and the graphic novel's release. There’s still plenty of time before this is needed.

Cameos

We are working through cameo admin at the moment. Note that Archangel Tier backers have their survey with a deadline of 30 November, the higher level cameos should expect to hear more in December. If you have purchased a cameo and have any questions, please drop us a message.

Staying up to date

As always, you can hear more about Good Omens more widely at Good Omens HQ and sign up to our mailing list for news and more.

p.s. We’ve had some Crowley artwork, let’s end with some Aziraphale.
