Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) General The Beyond Divinity Novella

Rhianna Pratchett has written a 50 something page small novella that will be available for pre-orders and a special bundle retail pack (what else will be in there?)
For all the dirty details hit this link

Yes, I've read it.

Anyway, I'm always fond of good stories, so I'm looking forward to it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

This is sorta neat. The only game I have bought that had a novella included in it was one called "Knight Orc" for the Mac and Amiga, made by some European company a long long time ago. The game was text based, but the novella was pretty damn funny. Having a little story to read makes em pretty happy <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> More games should have novellas with them I think. Is this Pratchett Terry Pratchett's wife then?

Rhianna Pratchett is Terry Pratchett's Daughter.

Stonekeep had a wonderful story, I still love it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

it's not a keychain, but it'll do! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

So this story will have characters,
and places we've been to,
in the game so to speak! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

is this true? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> that's <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

i read once a short story that was included in the game "dungeon keeper"
it was a very nice story about a ye-old-knight-who-once-slayed-evil-for luch,
but he was in his 40-ties,full of greed and corruption.
so he took one more quest to enter a dungeon full of gold.
the funny part is after you read the story,and start up the game you see the intro movie of the game,
and you knew that it was that knight from the story! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

I find it kind of sad that these small novels fanish into the void after the publishing of the games ... the first Broken Sword game had one, too.

And as the article states Beyond Divinity is available from April 8th 2003 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Is Rhianna in the 20-28 year old range???? :P

I can probaly guess your next question.
Nope, I don't have her picture nor her email :P

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> Death knows all <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

and it's a small p not a big P ...see <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

A link to a piccie of Rhianna a few years ago with her Dad is here

She worked on PCzone magazine for a while, so have more piccies if you like.

The daughter of the guy who wrote the Discworld novels is writing a 50 page novella for Beyond Divinity? Nice... I hope she's as funny as her father.

She looks a lot like "Betty" from big brother (Belgium) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

what if you live in the states, but you get a copy of the game that doesn't have hte book. er, is there a copy without the book? then can you still get the book? thinking of IF (which will not happen, others are better then me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" /> ) i win. or if I get a copy without it.

I doubt it. (I guess now I know where I'll be buying <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" />...)

Er, she looks about as far as you can get from Betty from Big Brother! Are you thinking of the right person? lol

Her writing style is different from her fathers, don't expect all comedy, she's a different writer remember, not a Terry clone!

Yes, that's true. Every single person has his or her individual style <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> .

*Phew* Finally made it in at last. Have been reading the forums for a while but technical problems have stopped me from posting, but now with a reformated hard drive, a new copy of XP everything is fresh and lovely again.

Firstly....congratulations on finding *the* most unflattering picture of me available on the web. You can imagine how happy I was to see that posted on a forum, cheers!

For the record since some of you think it's appropriate to comment on the way I look (and for a writer, it's not something you think people would ever be interested in) that pic is about 3 or 4 years old and the man I'm pictured with is not my dad it's Bernard Pearson, who makes a lot of Discworld merchandise. Here...

for those interested in such things is an interview that Multiplay UK did with me a little while ago, which contains a couple of pics. One a stylised Zone shot and another looking very pale and playing Counter-Strike at one of the Insomnia LANs. There's also lots of stuff about my gaming past in there.

Annnnyyyyyway! I hope you guys like the novella and the dialogues they were a lot of fun to write.
