Details can be found here http://jonnynexus.com/gamenight/ If you like me used to (or still do) play pen and paper role playing games this book is hilarious, I heartily recommend it. The name Jonny Nexus should need little introduction to fans of RPG-related humour. His website, Critical Miss, the Magazine for Dysfunctional Roleplayers ( http://www.criticalmiss.com/ ) is well known, and well regarded. Synopsis: The gods don't play dice with the universe... unless it's game night. A twelve-thousand-year quest is about to be completed, prophecies will be fulfilled, ancient riddles answered, legendary evils bested, and the nature of the universe revealed. All that's needed is a band of mighty heroes to do the completing. Unfortunately for the locals, some of the gods have taken a personal interest in the chronicle of these heroes' adventures. Now they are each guiding one of the characters towards the conclusion of their epic journey. That is, when they're not squabbling, backstabbing each other, blowing things up by accident, refusing to play by the rules, and turning the AllFather's creation into a mess of petty arguments, fantasy cliché, gratuitous combat and unnecessary dice rolls. |
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
