It's not roleplay at all. Terry Prachett is an RL author. He's being knighted in RL.

Nice sentiment, but how is it relevant to SL?

Well he visited SL recently (and I missed it, dammit!)

That's great news. He deserves it. One of the funniest and wittiest authors I've ever had the pleasure of reading :)

I think there are rp sims based on his Discworld series. Also you'll occasionally see the last name Morpork, taken from a city-state in the series called Ankh-Morpork .
