I think you get loads and loads of extra kudos for getting Monty Python to infiltrate the discworld. Brilliant.

I'm just going through my (very newly acquired, thanks) Compleat Ankh-Morpork. I've established that there is, in fact, a Hill Street, just got to work out if there's a Watch house nearby with, presumably, blue(ish) uniforms!  lol

A bunch of my early paperbacks were lost in a house move, including that one (although I still have ones either side of it). Just grabbed it, so thanks for the tip :D

This is not really an AAR, just a few photos from the training mission in the rule book. About half way through, so a few more photos to follow.

Creosote, the Seriph of Al-Khali arrives for a state visit in Ankh-Morpork.



Oook! The Librarian is outraged at some the prices being charged in the market for bananas!



The Balancing Monks are dropping off a couple of weights that they deem necessary. Let's hope no one trips over them!



The mission starts with a search for contraband, apparently hidden in a crate somewhere. A constable of the Dolly Sisters Watch (carrying the torch) is investigating.



One of the Chitterling Street Watch is successful with this crate.



We get a second plot card and one of the History Monks makes a suspicious run move.



Another History Monk makes a break for it (just to the left of the house on the right).



The Dolly Sisters Watchman is approached by a seemingly innocent bystander.

That setup looks amazing! I imagine a number of people will be inspired to city games after seeing this thread...  :-*

Sorry to go off topic, but it’s Terry’s birthday today and I thought this might be appropriate.

 :o :o Superb little town!

The yards around the houses are an inspiring idea for fantasy villages.

That is a stunning set up! I love these kinds of 'lived in' tables with lots of extras and paraphenalia.
