	Undead (Discworld) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Like most things about Discworld vampires, though, this is not true in every case, as in Monstrous Regiment one female vampire did easily recorporate all her clothes.
		While there have been some suggestions that Discworld werewolves, like the Hollywood stereotype, can "infect" others with lycanthropy through their bite, on the whole it appears that werewolves on the Disc are born, not made.
		While not technically undead, ranging more into the realm of the personification, bogeymen are frequently lumped into this category in much the same way as werewolves.

		Discworld is a flat circular planet that rides on the back of four giant elephants who in turn sit on the shell of a giant turtle that carries the Disc through the infinite boundaries of space.
		Although Discworld II is considered by many gamers to be superior than its predecessor, it is unfortunate to hear that Pratchett himself has mixed feelings about the latest adaptation of his work.
		Discworld II is based upon the Discworld novels by Pratchett.

		As with the first game, Discworld II is divided into four Acts and the first three are very long and quite complex.
		Discworld II is packed onto two CDs and installs to either Windows 95 (recommended in the manual) or DOS.

	Reaper Man
		I don't mean boy-meets-girl and sweaty-palms and live happily ever after (or not) type romance - I mean sweetness and tenderness and sentiment type romance that has nothing to do with hormones - it would have to be, since Death doesn't have the necessary glands for that kind of thing anyway.
		In many ways, Poons is probably the only time a wizard in the Discworld series actually lives up to the image used so often in fantasy: he is noble, fair and wise, a man who knows what the right thing to do is, and goes out and does it, no matter the cost to himself.
		Discworld's skeleton-with-a-scythe has bit parts in almost every volume, and starring roles in many.

	Four Fat Chicks -- Discworld II: Missing Presumed ... !? Review
		Adapting story lines, locations and characters from several of Pratchett's Discworld novels, now-defunct Perfect Entertainment, helmed at the time by the very funny writer and director Greg Barnett, managed to develop one of the best games no one ever talks about.
		This game is a prime example of how puzzle and story should each reinforce the other, and for that reason alone it serves as a precursor to and model of the way adventure games are being made today—simpler puzzles, more story.
		Despite the stumble at the end, as Discworld II wound down, I was smiling and nodding and wishing there were more games like this.

	BBC - h2g2 - The Discworld
		This Discworld is, without question, one of THE strangest planets in - and let's face it - a very strange multiverse.
		The undead find themselves shunned by society and are left with bad jobs and not much to do.
		One of the most successful members of the (albeit) semi-undead society is Angua, a young female human and occasionally Wolf who has made quite an impact in the Watch where she is employed.

	The Discworld Homework Files: Reaper Man
		The central character is Death, who at the beginning of the book is told that he has lost his job as guardian of the doorway into the next world and must return to the Discworld and live a mortal life.
		His trials and tribulations also serve to emphasise the fundamental interconnectedness of the biological and social being; as a previously disembodied personification he has had no need for a personal name, but as a newly embodied person his person must have a name; society in the form of Miss Flitworth insists upon it.
		As a new Death is not yet arising from the belief of humans, the excess life-force begins to spill over from the undead into totally new organisms.

	Books : Carpe Jugulum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Carpe Jugulum is the 23rd Discworld novel, and with it this durable series continues its juggernaut procession onward.
		The plot is a version of an earlier Discworld novel, Lords and Ladies, with the predatory elves of that novel being replaced here by suave and deadly vampires, and the tiny kingdom of Lancre being defended by its witches.
		Pratchett's vampires are elegant Bela Lugosi types, and they come up against an unlikely but engaging alliance of witches; blue-skinned pixies like Rob Roy Smurfs; a doubting priest with a boil on his face; and a magical house-size Phoenix in a seamless, completely absorbing, and feel-good-about-the-universe mixture.

		Jingo is the 20th of Pratchett's Discworld novels, and the fourth to feature the City Guard of Ankh-Morpork.
		I am not of the kind to rate a book good just it's from Terry Pratchett and some of the last recent editions suggested that the discworld seems to be kind of worn out.
		As with his other Discworld books, Pratchett makes you laugh so hard you don't even realize you're thnking and that is a wonderful feat.

		This is another excellent Discworld novel, with a great, ripping yarn of a story, keeping me hooked from start to finish.
		I'm surprised that so many people in various forums have griped that MR is not a proper Discworld book, simply because Terry has chosen to use a different setting and cast of characters.
		There are plenty of new, interesting characters being introduced and a new sense of potential for the whole Discworld.

		And then the gleam is seen as the glint in a giant eye and it is eclipsed by the blink of an eyelid and the darkness moves a flipper and Great A'Tuin, star turtle, swims onward through the void.
		The Discworld cycle is a creation of Terry Pratchett and is copyrighted by him (I'm using the names and all only to make people buy the books, honest!).
		It describes the Discworld (as if you couldn't guess), concentrating in most books on Ankh-Morpork, the Lancre kingdom in the Ramtop mountains and the country of Death.There are also one-book excursions to places like Klatch, Sto Helit, Tsort, the Counterweight continent and so on.

	Oddly moving, a bit confusing--but still classic Pratchett \| Reaper Man (Discworld Novels (Audio)) \| Terry...
		Reaper Man, the eleventh entry in the celebrated Discworld series, is classic Pratchett and easily one of the best of the lot, and I mean lot.
		Emotionally and philosophically deeper than most Discworld novels, Reaper Man is the only one in the series that focuses on Death - perhaps the steadiest recurring character in the Discworld universe - as its main protagonist, and shows him to be a fascinating and truly deep character.
		I've read all the Discworld novels by Terry Pratchett to date, and the ones I find most satisfying-for wit, philosophy, and constant lampooning of the Establishment-are the City Watch stories with Sam Vimes as the ever-evolving hero.

		Windle Poons is one of the main characters in the Discworld novel Reaper Man written by Terry Pratchett.
		For the rest of the time, he is unwillingly undead, due to Death's absence.
		After his 'death', his senses are quite enhanced from their 130-year-old state although his appearance is somewhat unsettling, mostly from a failed attempt at preventing rotting via an advanced form of biofeedback (basically, controlling the reactions of your organs voluntarily).

		This is the Discworld novel wherein Captain Sam Vimes of Ankh-Morpork's Night Watch retires and gets married, the Night Watch itself becomes an equal species organization, and Gaspode the Talking Dog falls in love with new recruit, Angua, the werewolf.
		Meanwhile back in the world of the living and undead, Captain Sam Vimes and his command investigate the circumstances of Beano's death.

		Even so distinguished an author as A. Byatt has sung his praises, calling Pratchett's intricate and delightful fictional Discworld "more complicated and satisfying than Oz." His latest satiric triumph, Carpe Jugulum, involves an exclusive royal snafu that leads to comic mayhem.

		More important, with no Death to keep it under control, life force is piling up, making its vital presence felt in the form of poltergeist activity and a plague of snowglobes and supermarket baskets, which are only the harbingers of the dreaded appearance of Mall Life.
		Windle is one of the undead, so naturally he is approached by dead-activists.
		Their group is made up of the failed undead, including a bogeyman who's scared of people, a wolf who turns into a man during a full moon, and a shy banshee who, instead of wailing, slips a card under your door that reads: "OOoooEeeeOooEeeeOOOeee".
