Modiphius Entertainment will launch its Kickstarter campaign for the upcoming Discworld TTRPG in October. The previously announced Discworld: Adventures in Ankh-Morpork, the first TTRPG for Discworld in 20 years, will launch on Kickstarter on October 15th. Modiphius has not said whether the Discworld TTRPG will use its 2D20 system or a new RPG, but those who sign up to the Discworld mailing list will have access to a Quickstart guide later this month before everyone else. (UPDATE: A GamesRadar+ article confirms this will be a new game system, which includes no modifiers to dice and is narrative-focused.)
Discworld is the beloved fantasy world created by Sir Terry Pratchett. The Discworld novels written by Pratchett weren't a unified series per se, but rather a collection of different characters and storylines that all took place in the same world and were unified by Pratchett's beloved whimsical storytelling manner. The first Discworld book, The Colour of Magic, is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year.

Modiphius recently announced that it had secured the rights to produce the first new roleplaying game for Terry Pratchett’s internationally bestselling Discworld series in over 20 years. After negotiating an agreement with the estate of the late Sir Terry, Modiphius looks to publish tabletop games that honour the humour, satire, and darkly entertaining fantasy series.
With this year marking the 40th anniversary of the release of The Colour of Magic, Modiphius’ roleplaying game will be the first RPG for Discworld since 1998, when Steve Jackson Games published a sourcebook using its GURPS rules.
Those who are signed up to the Modiphius Discworld mailing list will have an exclusive preview of the Quickstart rules 24 hours earlier than the rest of the public, when it previews later this month.
Modiphius has a reputation for creating authentic and immersive licensed tabletop games around global IPs, having produced award-winning games for Conan™, Star Trek™, John Carter of Mars™, Fallout™, and The Elder Scrolls™.
