Interested in getting into the Discworld books as I'm interested in the concept of a worldbuilding project or shared world a writer uses as setting for many different novels which may nor may not have overlapping or related stories and characters. Are there any other good examples of this that are worth looking into? Regardless of genre, e.g. fantasy, sci-fi, alt-hist.
I guess Dune has this although kinda one long story
>>23316204Dying Earth series by Jack Vance
I guess franchises like the Star Wars and Warhammer 40k books also does this. in comics you have the DC and marvel universes. I guess Tolkien's middle earth has plenty of stories that involve different characters and stories in the same world.Lovecraft's world
>>23316204Bolo series is I guess like this. First books were written by Keith Laumer, but other authors also wrote anthologies and novels set in the universe.Conan might also count since after the death of Robert Howard many other writers continued writing Conan books.
>>23316204I forget what it's called. Lord of the something.
