you say that but it’s not true, he didn’t write comedic plays, he wrote novels that were sometimes humorous.

A police procedural that had elements of T2, a novel about time travel that revisited an early formative period. There is nothing written expressly to be funny. There are humourous elements but at no point did Terry write a comedy.

I’m frankly baffled why people think it needs to be funny to be a Discworld adventure. nothing he has written, be it a story about breaking tradition or a story about racism has ever been pitched as only comedic. If you take the comedy away the story and the world remain and so it would be with either an RPG or a skirmish game, if the GM or players want to inject humour they can or can’t depending on their preference
