View original post Vol XIX: Discworld
View original postI’ve always wanted to do a series specific quiz and since we’re running a Discworld themed game of mafia over on the RPG board I figured I’d kill two birds with one stone. Shameless self-promotion and a quiz on one of my favorite series, if you’d like to join us, just go to our Registration Thread. It probably goes without saying that this quiz contains spoilers.
