Discworld: Up in Smoke! #1

[@Zumwar]

YES! The intro is back 😭😭

[@somecallmetim4490]

Just like the last two scenarios, I assume (and hope) it's only only on the initial episode.

[@nathanlittle1582]

I won't watch every episode of Mystery quest, but i watch every intro 😊 glad its back.

[@nathanlittle1582]

​@somecallmetim4490 can i ask why you prefer it that way?

[@sos_legio_primus]

I thought that would be a popular comment lol.

[@harmonlanager2670]

We are so back

[@Ben-of-old-Yorkshire]

"Will you be able to outrun the creature that guards the books?" No. No, you will not. Nobody outruns the librarian!

[@Geothesponge111]

You could probably outrun the Librarian, but unfortunately you can't out-brachiate him.

[@lexicornfell7361]

Just don’t call him a monkeyaaaaaargh.

[@Blisterdude123]

Just deputise him into the City Watch, we all good bro!

[@enisra_bowman]

@@Blisterdude123 basicly works for peanuts

[@MisterTingles]

Ook ook.

[@ChaladanX]

Just Duncan quietly counting '1, 2, 3, Many' fills me with so much joy. Love it!

[@Xestie]

It was perfect!

[@aaronkiernan7441]

This has hit the vibe of the Discworld universe sooooo well. 1. One, two, three... many. 2. Stupid dragons prone to exploding 3. Complete lack of concern about the explosions 4. Vimes being tired of everyone's shit 5. The Zombie cop shot through the heart 3 days away from retirement 6. Extremely EARNEST Igorina I love it so much

[@troubiemakie]

Lydia and Ben switching seats is messing with my head more than it should lol

[@molarstorm7924]

Hilarious

[@Blitzkrieger17]

omg! right?!!? WTF?! its just not right! lol

[@Rincewindl]

as someone who has read 90% of discworld, yeah a wizard did it extremely excited to listen to this

[@piddlepants]

I normally save Mystery Quest series to binge in one go but there's no way I'm waiting that long to start Discworld fun!

[@Caratacus1]

God I miss Terry Pratchett. Great that he's left a gaming legacy as well as a literary one.

[@Zumwar]

Also I was really wondering when we'd see good ol' Dunc. Loved him in the OG Yogsquest stuff

[@Mathewson1G]

is this the first MQ video he’s in? the OG yogsquests were so good

[@Zumwar]

@@Mathewson1G It is! He hasn't been on this channel at all. Assumedly because of scheduling; dude is fun and great in RP lol

[@IPissAwesome]

You are by far my favourite people doing TTrpgs these days. And I hope that speaks volumes. Thank you for being real.

[@smalwex]

5 minutes in and i already ADORE Duncan's character. absolutely perfect lineup of players this time around, cannot wait for the rest of this series

[@mandyspice3947]

Right? Instant adoration!

[@rincewind3043]

Discworld RPG AND a mystery quest intro - it must truly be Hogswatch!

[@flip878]

Mystery Quest and Discworld!!! I absolutely love Terry Pratchett but haven’t looked into the rpg, glad Tom and the guys are giving this a go. This channel just gets better and better, great way to wind up 2024!

[@Rincewindl]

the rpg is a VERY story heavy focused thing with a focus on RP, doing weird stuff and exploring weird concepts in the fantasy setting i was a lil worried when the creators of it were announced but they hit it straight out of the park after reading through the "demo" version on their kickstarter

[@CharlieCookeActor]

The Intros are back! That makes me so happy. And we get Duncan on Mystery Quest? I thought Christmas was over?

[@sapherno11]

Terry Prachett......Man, that intro made me cry a bit, and the dragons was just...nostalgia hit hard

[@Shaniq307]

I've felt pretty down this year, not many things in my life of late have been worth getting too invested in. When I saw the prompt for this on my phone I literally gasped, I'm so thrilled for this. I can't contain my joy.

[@piddlepants]

Hope things improve for you in 2025 💙

[@totallycarbon2106]

Hope 2025 is looking up for you

[@tomyboy39]

Not only is the intro back, it's a beautiful Discworld Reference too! My god, we're winning today

[@CharlotteRowe12]

Discworld? Oh heck yes!

[@leninade20]

Intro back and Discworld TTRPG! It's a Hogswatch miracle.

[@smallangryowl2162]

Even Tom's "A wizard did it" isn't accurate! It was probably the history monks patching the fabric of time again. Edit: I spoke too soon

[@nathanielfrance5829]

Perfect intro for Discworld. "Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving." All the gold stars

[@Patricia-mm2mr]

Discworld AND mystery quest!? What a gift!

[@MrJSar]

Waiting for the accent drop from Lydia and not only does she set herself up correctly before the game even starts but it's Ben that drops the ball!

[@lexicornfell7361]

5:55 The Trousers of Time. Basically Pratchett’s version of Moorcock’s Multiverse.

[@Temprael]

Duncan and Lyds as Nobby and Colon is a nice touch in the thumbnail. And of course Briony as Carrot (she's the wholesome one).

[@databasekitten]

Love to see you doing Discworld. Best universe and best crew to do it justice

[@kam......]

After splitting up with your friends to cover more ground, you're wandering the halls of a long abandoned mansion on Titan alone when you stumble upon the study. The gentle 'swish-swish' of the portly caretaker's broom can be heard in the distance as you enter. On a desk and under a fancy lamp's light, you find a bloodstained letter. What is this? It's from your benefactor, Mister Quest. How could this be? He should be back on Earth! When you open it, it reads, "Don't be alone. The butler did it". A chill runs up your spine, why didn't anyone think it was weird for an abandoned mansion to have a butler? You step back and a loud fart startles you. Luckily, it was just a whoopie cushion. As you turn towards the door, you see the outline of a portly figure. What is that in his hands? Is that... a knife? Has the butler come to clean *You* up? Or are you on a MysteryQuest?

[@sassamifrass]

A Hogswatch miracle! Thank you for this gift! Was just yesterday discussing with a friend how many Discworld screen adaptions (understandably) adapt the _plot_ of various Discworld novels, but completely lose the core things that we personally find enchanting about Pratchett's work... but I feel like Modiphius has expended a huge amount of effort to capture the delight of reading Sir Terry's writing; not just the story beats. And I trust you guys to do it justice, too 💛

[@Shenaldrac]

Hey, thanks for putting into words what I've felt was off about the tv adaptations but couldn't even explain.

[@sam23696]

The intros are probably a lot of work, but truly it's what brings them from an already great 8/10 to a easy 9/10

[@nanothrill7171]

I do appreciate how you really captured the spirit of discworld. Very anticipation for the rest of the series.

[@Lukasaske]

The Tom-pocalypse! It's coming, mark my words!

[@Blisterdude123]

No waaaaaaaaaay! I frigging adore Pratchett's work, and the Discworld series is the greatest. Also I love that in the first ten minutes Vimes went from Commander, to 'Sarge', to Captain. Wizards did it!

[@fiofofionomoto]

Discworld‽‽ Best Christmas present ever! And the return of the intro!

[@faldororlaridon2691]

Ben's character is so unbelievably perfect for Discworld, I love it so much!

[@traxinox]

I love Bens character, i just picture spy from tf2

[@bencecserkuti7110]

Not only are the intros back, it opens with my favourite side character of the series. Thank you Hogfather!

[@RazeedPip]

Discworld is my favourite fantasy series, so to see this has made my day!

[@DEthan-]

Stuck on a plane delayed due to fog, good thing I've got Mystery Quest! *This is a comment, for the Angorythm.*

[@monkeyfeed908]

Are you stuck on a plane due to fog or are you on a Mystery Quest!

[@finnbryant]

Duncan clearly knows the lore, great choice for this one! I may just buy the discworld rpg, this looks great!

[@secretscarlet8249]

I love how the crew try different accents as MQ develops. It’s hilarious, but the more you do it the more fun it becomes!

[@alkaneshade5527]

Tom and Ben just have the best chemistry.

[@katc2699]

OMG, not my favourite book series of all time and my favourite ttrpg channel of all time??? THANK YOU. I'm so excited to listen to all of this. please do more dis world scenarios!!!

[@Salmon_Samurai]

Is this the first time Duncan's been in one of these? EDIT: Yep! Thought so. Stoked to see more Duncan.

[@jonathanrees325]

To my knowledge, yes indeed.

[@TipTut]

25:31 One, two...many...lots. Troll math! Bravo Dunc!

[@garethhughes7430]

As Many discworld things brought themselves to life in Sir Pterry's own games at his tables, to see his legacy continued in a Mystery Quest is beautiful. Briony is a clear fan, and presumably that's what brought Duncan in as well, and I'm so excited for this hopefully 99 episode series! GNU Terry Prattchett Sgt Angua Awwoooo!

[@BecauseOfDragons]

Really love this system that Modiphius has put together. Unique mechanics that feel very Pratchett and Discworld-esque

[@daili4917]

A wizard did it, but a monk will fix it - or at least patch it up into a semblance of what once was. What do you mean the librarian used to be human, he was always a monke-arrrggh...

[@alecdewell1929]

This was amazing, actually makes me want to play roleplaying games. Love discoworlds and appreciate the librarian reference

[@ReikaSayuuri]

OMG! Yes! Discworld and its in Ankh-Morkpork! Yes! Duncan! Lets Go!

[@kosnk]

I know the views are not as high as on the more "serious" series, but I quite enjoy these light-hearted adventures. Thank you for sharing it 🙏

[@gawainwilliams81]

This is so good, perfect setting for you and the cast. Everyone played a perfectly Discworld styled character.

[@kvasac123]

Wohooo! Discworlad and intro is back!

[@joshconfer209]

The wizzards made vimes not worry about his wife! Where is rincewind and the luggage!!!

[@Ivafakename]

Love this setting, I never knew there was a discworld rpg! I'm also glad the mystery quest intros are back, I almost screamed when I clicked the video, I'll be excited to see if they end up being a 1 a series thing as a compromise or if they go back to one an episode

[@OverdosedToast]

Making me cry days after Christmas... Thank you so much🥰🤗. GNU Sir Terry Pratchett This is a comment, for the Angorythm.❤

[@Gallaelwyd]

This campaign seems super wholesome and im absolutely here for the change of pace. Love the characters and how its shaping up. Cant wait for next Friday!

[@Dopeytheboat]

So happy to see this!!

[@sadraisin]

Ohmygosh an intro! 💙💙💙 Hell yeah

[@mik3yc4li10]

THE INTROS, THEY HAVE COME TO OUR AID!!!

[@kathynayler4810]

I clicked as soon as I saw Discworld and Mystery Quest 🤩

[@LegendarySquoth]

Woohoo Discworld and Bronkey what a great combination. Really looking forward to this one.

[@NukaLemonade]

There is no such thing as a continuity error in Discworld: it just sometimes has alternate pasts.

[@TriangularPrism]

You've just accidentally slipped into the wrong leg of the Trousers of Time is all

[@tiredidealist]

I can never get enough of Duncan's laugh.

[@jaquelinelorn1906]

wow, finally an evil campaign

[@themultifish]

Love that even the intro was Discworld themed for this one

[@SlayerOfWorlds]

Great cast of players this time, awesome.

[@ambitiousram]

Goated roster ngl

[@ColossalDave]

Lydia would play such a good witch/seamstress/agony aunt character

[@NickHoad]

I backed this game on Kickstarter and this is proof that I haven’t wasted my money and the end product captures the spirit of Discworld pretty faithfully

[@mikkelandersen2328]

Woo Discworld! I love that world, and you certainly didn't disappoint in the delivery. Looking forward until the next release

[@LaWraWaN]

Love the intro! Nice to see Duncan :)

[@DucksInARose]

Very adorable! Looking forward to more dragon shenanigans, don't let those children get the best of you! 😂

[@Winterbay]

Hooray for a new intro 🙂 Also, really looking forward to seeing what you do with the absolute chaos that is this scenario.

[@mmmhorsesteaks]

Gold star intro Thomas you magnificent bastard.

[@trevortate6381]

Love the intros, Im glad they're back.

[@carterwalters5915]

Tom-tom-tom, thank you for the intros!!

[@Razoreye175]

Stuck in a traffic jam behind a crash, this couldn't have come at a better time. Also yay for intros again.

[@danbarber6669]

That thumbnail! Right out of the books!

[@Spotifist]

That was fantastic. Haven’t read Discworld in a long while but this takes me back.

[@molarstorm7924]

It is so wonderful Tom that you manage to create great episodes and have different systems and settings the the same time! I’m honestly amazed by that, not just doing ”alien or Cathulu” scenarios but doing all kinds! Very versatile:) Amazing players as well, like always. Lots of love, great work!!

[@lostbutfreesoul]

We are never going to escape from that behavour.... So many of my brothers and sisters, carried around like matches. And... and we keep doing it, give us things to light!

[@zubbworks]

Man I liked those books. They made me feel like I had lived there, and watched time change the city around me. Real cool. Gotta finish em one day.

[@TiredCzech]

The intro is back! Yeees!

[@JynksterDM]

the best just the absolute best! Keep the exposure and different systems coming! How about some Kids on Bikes or some Tales from the Loop? And the new KS Mothership Modules would be awesome! It would be cool to see some MCDM Draw Steel!! All of Your tempo, approach to player autonomy and collaborative skills are fire! and post production is legend tier. Thanks so much for everything you all do!

[@Blackburn6969]

What a treat for the holidays. Awesome cast too

[@Lionlord1000]

Oh sweet i was hoping you would do this.

[@Galrukh]

I AM enjoying Tom!

[@dmitriyzhdanov7163]

I'm still waiting for Star Wars RPG,, but this is even better!

[@MiNiVaL95]

Eyyyy Duncan in Mystery Quest! AND THE INTRO IS BACK!

[@Ovetupp]

I really like the short games and change in ruleset. The cast changes don't hurt either. Always a nice fit to whatever adventure is afoot. The only constant is Lydia trying out her tiny register of accents (And I always love it).

[@abominablewhelk]

Hooray! An intro!

[@thermosplat]

Intros being back is the best thing to happen all year.

[@jurriaandejongh8677]

Wife and I are so hyped about this TTRPG! But.. we first need to convert some friends into the discworld verse first..

[@tkfritz5790]

❤❤❤ Discworld X Mystery Quest is an actual dream come true

[@Cammtom]

I've been waiting for a team I like to take on a Discworld adventure. Great cast and a fun game. Cant wait for more.

[@shynarcissist]

You get a like just for this dream team cast

[@hendas9763]

Merry festag/hogmarch/festivus to us all. Very excited for this thanks tom

[@lukasmadrid1945]

Its backkk!!! Im so glad, the intro rly makes mystery quest special! Excited for this serires

[@magnusgreel275]

A DISCWORLD RPG!! Amazing, this is and will be great :)

[@tkfritz5790]

I haven't watched the video yet, but am already SO excited. Love Discworld, love MQ. Big win
