Could someone check these out? They may have useful information to add to article and I am unable to view them from work right now. Turlo Lomon 11:00, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The following was unsourced.
Mostly taken from the books, although in some cases it was extrapolated from vague hints. The book is considered "officially unofficial", that is, while Pratchett has authorised it, and had some input, none of the new information is "canonical". (For instance, one adventure suggests that Ankh-Morpork has municipal rubbish dumps, operated by the Guild of Plumbers. However, later books reveal that waste disposal is a non-Guild concern run by Harry King.)
According to Masters, in the USA, where The Discworld Mapp was not, at that time, available, they sold a lot of copies simply by opening the book to the black and white, scaled down copy of the map.
Amongst the campaign scenarios suggested was "EcksEcksEcksEcksian Cart Wars" which combined the Mad Max parody from The Last Continent with elements of the "Autoduel America" setting of SJG's Car Wars game and GURPS Autoduel.

This is a call to arms to make the Terry Pratchett article a Featured Article. It will greatly help the cause if all the side articles that link from it are of a reasonable standard. Terry Pratchett has around 40 side articles (ie the ones relating to his work) - I don't think they are all expected to be GA (Good Article) standard for TP to become featured, but certain basic elements will be looked at for sure.
A full list of the sub articles is here on the TP talk page: I'm posting this comment on the talk pages of each article on the list. Editors reading may also like to help with the TP article too?
The main issue, especially with smaller articles, is often a finding reasonable amount of citations, and prose can sometimes be a little POV too. Coverage of the topic is probably less important, but of course it needs to be reasonably good. --Matt Lewis (talk) 15:22, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
