9 / 10Jürgen HubertA very useful resource.
7 / 10paul_mitchenerVery good read, and a nice encyclopedia of Discworld material.
6 / 10DrFaustIt wouldn't have been my natural choice for a system, but on reflection, I think GURPS works. By virtue of its simplicity of the core mechanic, the rules get out of the way to let the players focus on generating the humor from their characters.
6 / 10JDCorleyCould have benefitted a lot more from analyses of comedy, satire, parody, puns, and all the various other bits of being Pratchettian rather than just being a setting guide.

Ratings Explanation

The following components make up a rating:

Ratings. The ratings that users enter into this index are each averaged into the final rating with a weight of between 0 and 4, with weight based on trust algorithms.

Reviews. Each review is averaged into the final rating with a weight of 8. Sometimes reviews can skew high, but they also display fan interest (or disdain) in a product.

Content. The average rating of each content--before its own bayesian weight is inserted--is averaged into the final rating. The weight of a content is equal to its own weight divided by the number of contents, and divided again if it only appears in a fraction of editions.

Bayesian Weight. A rating of 5.00 is inserted into the final rating with a weight of 35. This is an arbitrary weighting of the average rating that keeps things toward the center until they're better rated.
