Loving seeing this develop, it’s going to be awesome  lo.  Unfortunately the Consulate closed during covid and never reopened.  It now just inhabits the world of online.  The Nog Inn, where Prachett used to drink, is still open though.

The village looks great!  One question, is the mat with the cobbelstone roads from deep cut studios?
It does and yes, it's their 'Cobblestone Streets' mat. They also have a 'Cobblestones' one which, unsurprisingly, is just cobblestones. I'm happy with both but the roads on the former are a bit limiting.

Shame about the Consulate.

The Balancing Monks run a free hospital in Ankh-Morpork. The Balancing Monks believe the Disc's position on the back of the elephants is precarious, and small weights must be placed in significant positions to stop it tipping over. It is considered they must be correct, since the Disc hasn't tipped over yet.

C. M. O. T. Dibbler has seen a niche in the meat-based products market. He's the entrepreneur who brings the 'sausage inna bun' to you.

Thanks, zemjw. I may have to get C. M. O. T., although the prices are a bit steep!

They are a bit on the large side for gaming, but the City Watch and the Canting Crew are such amazing figures.

Great stuff! Can you believe that I have never read the Discworld series? Maybe I should, now that I am starting to get back into fantasy gaming.

I look forward to the adventures of the guards and citizens...!

I love the table when full of terrain and people. It looks so realistic and exciting to game on. So many obstacles adds such amazing realism when gaming characters need to engage opponents and the streets are filled. Well done. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent stuff. The Discworld minis are nice, but meant for collectors.

Start with Guards Guards or Postal. They are fun, nicely contained stories that have good flow.

An excellent looking table!  The balancing monks on parade are great.

Might be best to look at the films first, including the animated ones, as sort of a visual primer, so to speak!

That's a charming little town. I want to get into Traitor's Toll but I have no room to start a new Medieval terrain collection!
