Gods I miss him.

Yep me too. It's so sad reading all the books for the third time knowing there won't ever be another one.

Probs for the gods plural <3

Brohams wielding a dragonsayer, by the looks of it.

Too bad this isn't a dragon

For someone who has never read his work, what would you recommend starting with?

Mort / Guards! Guards! / Small Gods / Going Postal are in my opinion all good starting points. I wish I could start reading the books without knowing anything <3

This looks really interesting but I don't get the reference here in all the comments. Anyone care to enlighten me?

The gods comment was funny because on the fantasy world TP created millions of gods existed

I really love his books and started to draw his quotes in my way to reflect on the ones that touched me the most over the last two decades :)

I'd say guards is the best jumping off point, anything later and you tend to spoil things from other books.

'What if its not exactly a million-to-one chance?'

Basically the plot of Elden Ring

He had debilitating dementia. He got to choose a peaceful, dignified death

Those crop up nine times out of ten.

The quote is missing some context. In the book, the character was squaring up to face - well, not exactly a rival, but more like her own failures and mistakes that had gotten out of hand and caused people suffering. She's not choosing death, here, but rather choosing to face the consequences of her actions, and if that causes her death, then so be it. Personally, I see this as, if not motivating in and of itself, a good example of someone becoming motivated. If what we wanted was easy and safe, we wouldn't need the motivation.
