The game included a lot of detail about the Discworld mostly taken from the books, although in some cases it was extrapolated from vague hints. The book is considered "officially unofficial", that is, while Pratchett has authorised it, and had some input, none of the new information is "canonical". (For instance, one adventure suggests that Ankh-Morpork has municipal rubbish dumps, operated by the Guild of Plumbers. However, later books reveal that waste disposal is a non-Guild concern run by Harry King.) The Discworld is the setting for all of Terry Pratchetts Discworld series of novels. ...
