Shamus Plays WoW #1: It's An Imp's Life

I hope he does one for each race. I really want to see the Undead. That would be hilarious, lol.
Having the story from the point of view of the imp is a great twist that I definitely didn't see coming. Awesome! I look forward to seeing more. Perfect that I just started playing again, too.
I suppose it's a compliment that so many people say this to me. My wife is a huge fan, but I haven't read a single book yet.GrinningManiac said:
At this point, I'm not sure if I should.
I'm heavily biased, being a Terry Pratchett fanboy, but I STRONGLY reccomend you read at least one. Talk to the missus about which ones she likes.Shamus Young said:
Word of warning - the first two (and mabye the next four after that) are arguably his worst, since they were at the start when he had yet to refine his craft and his universe. I'd skip 'em initially, since the books can be read in any order. I read one of the most recent ones first, and then worked whichever way I wanted.
Some of the stories have a continuity (i.e. the City Watch novels start with the Night Watch being a crappy group of four people (including a drunk and a thief) and over the novels it turns into the most professional (and largest) organisation in the city.)
tl;dr please at least read one. Poor Sir Pratchett has Alzhimers, and he can't even physically write any more. He has to dictate to a Stephen-Hawkings-esque machine. He hasn't got long left before Discworld WILL end.
Liking this one already. Big LotR fan, but I hadn't played the LotR MMO. WoW I've at least played a 10 day trial. Really fun to see familiar territory. Absolutely love that once again Shamus has found the inherent contradictions in a game- demons serving the Light. Love it.
