    I love the way the gods are playing a board game with Ricewind and co.'s lives for fun and they hear the dice sometimes. It's just genius.

    Blind Io, Offler (the crocodile god), Zephyrus (god of slight breezes), Fate and the Lady were playing (i think) and The Lady won (i think)

    It's been a while since I read it, but as I recall, all the insinuations seemed to point that she's really Lady Luck. am I right?

    Yeah, definitely. But if you say her name, she'll abandon you - sorry Lipi, you're destined to be unfortunate now.

    Ah, that is a superstition I have never heard about. Cultural differences and all. Well, you live and learn.

    And, she won't abandon me. I have her tied to a post in a hidden room in the cellar. So: MWAHAAAHAAAAAAA :badgrin:

    She never truly abandons anyone. She just changes which face she shows. Yes, she is the one-in-a-million chance. But she's the rest of the chances too.

    It's not a superstition, Lipi, it's Discworld.

    I think Marcia might have been referencing Guys and Dolls, actually, Inwig.

    That was certainly what I was referring to in the first place, so if she was, she was spot on :D

    I'm sure she was. Marcia knows her shows.
