The world is flat. It rests on the back of four giant elephants, who in turn stand on the back of great A'Tuin, the only turtle to form the basis of an entire branch of astrophysics. Events on the Discworld have been chronicled in the best-selling works of Sir Terry Pratchett. Fans have learned of the adventures of Rincewind the incompetent wizard, Granny Weatherwax the witch (known to trolls as "She Who Must Be Avoided"), Captain Carrot the six-foot dwarf, Archchancellor Ridcully, Susan Sto Helit (granddaughter of Death), and a cast of strange and unique characters. This version of the Discworld Roleplaying Game is a reprint of the original First Edition of the game from 2002 (which is itself a rebranding of the original GURPS Discworld title from 1997). This stand-alone game is "Powered by GURPS" and designed to be compatible with GURPS Third Edition. A revised and expanded edition of this book with GURPS Fourth Edition as its core is available separately.
