Modiphius Entertainment announced Discworld: Adventures in Lancre and Überwald, a tabletop roleplaying game, with a Gamefound crowdfunding campaign that launched on November 3, 2026. The campaign reached its £50,000 funding goal within 30 minutes, and backers have until November 25, 2026, to pledge.
Why it matters
The game extends the Discworld fantasy universe, which has 41 novels by Terry Pratchett, following his death in 2015 and his estate's confirmation that no further novels would be written. The rapid funding suggests sustained demand for new Discworld material in tabletop form.
The campaign reached its £50,000 goal in 30 minutes, versus the more than £2.4 million raised by the earlier Ankh-Morpork Kickstarter. Digital-only access starts at £40, while the hardcover rulebook tier is priced at £70 and the collector's edition at £100, and final delivery timing has not been confirmed.
The players
Modiphius Entertainment
Modiphius Entertainment is a tabletop games publisher known for licensed and original roleplaying and board game titles.
Terry Pratchett
Terry Pratchett was a British author who wrote 41 Discworld novels before his death in 2015.
The details
The game uses Modiphius's Narrativium system, which emphasizes creative problem-solving, wordplay, and storytelling rather than traditional combat mechanics. It covers the Kingdom of Lancre, Überwald, and the Chalk, and the campaign is being run through Gamefound.
Timeline
2015: Terry Pratchett dies, and his estate confirms no further Discworld novels will be written.
November 3, 2026: The Gamefound crowdfunding campaign launches.
November 25, 2026: Backers' pledge deadline.
June 2027: Digital rewards are planned for delivery.
October 2027: Physical copies are expected.
Franchise Continuity
The new campaign follows the Discworld: Adventures in Ankh-Morpork Kickstarter, which raised more than £2.4 million, and carries the franchise's tabletop line into new settings. The £50,000 goal is a far smaller target than its predecessor's total.
Backers who want the game have until November 25, 2026, to pledge, with digital-only access starting at £40. Physical copies are not expected until October 2027, so buyers should plan for a long wait after pledging.
The takeaway
Fans who want new Discworld content in tabletop form should decide early which tier fits their budget, since the pledge window closes November 25, 2026. Physical delivery is still more than a year away.
What happens next
Backers can pledge until November 25, 2026, and physical copies are expected in October 2027.
