I haven't read as many as I should. Shady loaded me down with an armful one visit, and then Catnik gave me a few more (which I haven't read yet shame).

However, I took the idea of L-space DIRECTLY from the DiscWorld.

Shady, where should Mr. D start in Discworld, do you think?

Oh hell.

I'm definitely in favor of Monstrous Regiment, but I'm not sure that's the best place to start.

The Watch books

he would like Carrot & Vimes

Oh, totally! But starting where?

I think from the beginning AS LONG AS you understand the author is gettings the voices right. Which I think D gets.

Guards! Guards!

The COlor of Magic is ok, I do like Rincewind!

Equal Rites is kind of a weird one, but it does have the witches.

By the way, yes, Mr. D., this is another of those situations where people are running away with your off-hand comment. 😉

Granny Weatherwax is likely one of Zara's heroes

I like all of those.

The voices are different in "Shepard's Crown" than in "Color of Magic"

I like ER, but it's just early and fits funny with the rest of the later worldbuilding

Agreed.

Wyrd Sisters is better

That's the one that Known-World Players is putting on next Pennsic.

And for what it's worth, I'm not sure I would be with DH if not for our discussion of "Last Continent"

That's what did it for ya, hm?

Quite okay.

hee

America got silver & bronze, but the brazilian set a new WR! good for her!

Which sport?

I think it's possible Siv maybe spending a rare moment with her mom watching TV or streaming Olympics to cheer on Norway

breast stroke

Silver's from Indiana

Oh, I love that image, Mr. D!

Piper: “soooo… when’s the half time show with music?”

jeez, their ARMS.

these ladies are so strong

LOL Piper's going to be disappointed.

Well. She DOES have a thing for strong women

And who didn't appreciate that Tonga flag bearer??

I haven't been watching, so I missed that one.

mmmm

Tove is recording stuff for Dagmar

woo!

YEET

Still impressed by the First Gold for the Philippines

Rahne, the Internet got SUPER THIRSTY over him

I can't imagine why...!

Apparently he was told to wear the regular uniform, so he hid his Traditional outfit and changed and oiled up moments before heading in, so no one could stop him
