Doesn't Ridcully debut in Moving Pictures, actually?

Reaper Man, I think?

Maybe the Fools' Guild maintains a roving street mime patrol to find people to throw in the scorpion pit.

Under Vetinari? They'd end right in the scorpion pit next cell door.

Discworld Noir is probably the best one. It has some innovative gameplay (the notebook, you can use smell to solve puzzles) and most of the puzzles makes logical sense. The fact that it is an original story also helps.

Fantastic voice work* for such a tiny cast, too.

Except for Pyramids. I think that's the only one i've not found the desire to revisit.

The Assassins' Guild exams are hilarious, but I generally tend to put the book away after that.

Mort was my first Pratchett and I've been hooked ever since. It's not so strong when compared with the laters but it's still a leap ahead from Equal Rites (even if just because it doesn't involve The Dungeon Dimensions Plot). I do think the book where Discworld comes into its own is Wyrd Sisters, though.
