Yes, the naming of the suits is one thing we havent decided on yet.

Granny Weatherwax refers, if I remember correctly, to a suit "with a lot of these black pointy things" (spades?).  And an ace of cups or coins is up someones sleeve.  This complicates matters.

However, just as nowadays the Tarot deck is not used for playing a typical game of cards, I assume that the rather wizardly Caroc cards would not be used for Cripple Mr Onion.  For one, no special cards were mentioned in WA.  However, we assume that the game of CMO once had a magical significance in the past, before it became an ordinary card game.

However, Andrew and I are working on some special cards.  The suits may now need to be changed, though.

Luck (the Lady): Queen of Spades
Death: King of Swords
Great A'tuin: Queen of Coins
Archchancellor: Jack of Staves
Fate: King of Cups
Bel'Shamaroth: Jack of Clubs

As you can see, our idea for the 8 suits were the four tarot and the four modern suits.  But to make flushes even remotely possible, two of the suits have to be combined together, making four suits overall.

Also, we have some ideas for special combinations, like the Octavo (eight 8's) and the Disc (Great A'tuin with four 10s).  At present they are being playtested, so don't expect these rules for at least a week.  We don't want to embarrass ourselves prematurely.

It'll save much confusion if we assume, as I always have, that there are two
decks of cards on the DW: a Tarot equilvalent, which it seems logical to
assume the Four Horsemen would use, and a basic deck very similar to ours. In
fact, given the general state of magical leakage on the DW, it'd be downright
dangerous to play 'normal' games with Caroc cards.

Well, I don't have a published edition, I was fortunate enough to get
an uncorrected proof back in July or August, so there may be some minor
differences, but mine clearly states, "Doubleday Childrens Books", on
the cover.   I too thought it wasn't in the same class as the DW
books, but then, it wasn't SUPPOSED to be...  Taken as a kids book, it
was a very enjoyable read... If you try to compare it to Terry's
offerings for more mature audiences, you'll be disappointed, because
you're trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.  

My main thought was that it was more sophisticated than many
'childrens' books that I remember, but then, I'd started reading
'grown up' books when I was in sixth grade... so my memory of the
children's market is probably quite dated (Grin).

Think about the book, look at it as a kids book, and see if you don't
think better of it.

cheers.

The reason why we place A'tuin with the Queen of coins: firstly, coins look like
the Discworld, and secondly A'tuin seemed to be the mother of the baby turtles
in the red star.

By the way, Bel'Shamaroth is Jack of Diamonds, not Jack of Clubs,.  The reason is
that diamonds have a faint resemblance to octahedrons.

G'day Pratchettophiles,


       Something mulling around for a while - anyone read the rather good
little black book "The Superior Person's Little Book of Words"? It is kind
of like a dictionary with only brilliant words nobody has ever heard of, and
I've a sneaking suspicion that our little author hero has a copy, because many
of the words have crept into the Discworld novels - coruscate and aeaeae
creep into mind.

       Unfortunately, I don't have a copy of it, nor do I know the author and
title or publisher. I would like to know, if anyone has it. Also I am keen to
find out if Terry is going to accept the challenge set out in the book to write
a poem rhyming "gherkin" with "firkin" (an inverted pot) and "merkin" (a pubic
wig).

I was looking through Reaper Man the other day, and realised that there are
quite a few analogies between when the wizards go into the Baskets' lair and
the movie Aliens:

Several of the wizards match characters from the movie: the Archchancellor is
a hick from the country, and takes command... like Corporal Hicks.   The
Lecturer in Recent Runes has quite a lot of Bishop-type actions, and the Dean
is a definate goer for Hudson when he goes wild.

The ArchC says 'I want wild, uncontrolled bursts' (from memory) whereas Hicks
said 'I want short, controlled bursts'

'We don't leave our people in there'
'It must be something we haven't seen yet'

We decided to use a queen to represent Great A'Tuin just to even out the
number of kings, queens and jacks used as special cards for modifiers.
There was no particular reason for this, and since (as far as I know),
Great A'Tuin's actual sex was never discovered, the matter is open to
