The success of the best-selling Discworld series has been so phenomenal that there have been radio serialisations, TV adaptations, numerous plays, dozens of audiobooks, pottery figures, calendars, diaries, an encyclopaedia, a couple of computer games, a quizbook, a CD of music inspired by Discworld, several fanzines, newsgroups, fanclubs and a couple of Discworld Conventions.
