We R Igors - 2015 Discworld Calendar

Good news: The new Discworld Calendars, from Gollancz will be available from The Discworld Emporium in August of this year.  

The Discworld Emporium writes:

As any Igor will tell you, ‘What goeth around, cometh around’. This excursion into Pratchett’s world of the Igors has taught us more about anatomy, and indeed ‘re-cycling’, than one could possibly have wished to know. Regardless, we’re delighted to share it with you in this little tome. Hopefully it will have you in thtitcheth!

The Gollancz announcement states that 

The Discworld Diary 2015 is the most lavishly illustrated Discworld diary Gollancz has ever produced – full-colour throughout for the first time – and is published in hardback on the 21 August 2014.

Time to do some Hogswatch shopping ....

Enjoy,

Evil Genius, Good-ish Samaritan: Dr. Hicks Comes to NADWCon

This delightful program item is being offer by three of the UK fans coming to NADWCon.

Evil Genius, Good-ish Samaritan

Dr Hix DPMC invites the audience to present for comment and judging their suggestions for evil deeds that are either (a) not very evil and would be acceptable by the Unseen University if performed by Dr Hix or (b) are evil deeds masquerading as good deeds (e.g. giving children broccoli in their Hogwatch stocking as it better for their teeth). The ideas will be judged by Dr Hix, Lord Vetinari (for his ability to judge when someone is truly evil or when they may require an angel) and an Igor (who has experience of evil geniuses) and the applicant may be deemed an Evil Genius or a Good-ish Samaritan if their idea has merit. Or they may be ridiculed.

Presented by: John Hicks
Judges: Chris Boote (Igor) Atha-Nichols (Lord Vetinari)
