Description
At the far end of creation, in a not so intelligently designed realm, five adventurers near the climax of an epic quest, upon which hangs the fate of their world. Sadly for them, however, they are but pieces in a roleplaying game being played by a group of bickering gods.
Epic events will unfold, only to then unravel. Secrets will be revealed and then forgotten. A much-abused reality will warp, mutate, rewind, and - on occasion - capitulate. Stupidity will birth tragedy; mischief will spawn chaos; malevolent arrogance will conjure forth genuine evil.
A story of myth and legend twelve thousand years in the making is heading towards its final chapter.
It's game night.
What people are saying about Game Night and Jonny Nexus
"Game Night is gut-bustingly, rib-tearingly, bed-wettingly hilarious. It's also sharply observed, cunningly crafted and decidedly well-written, but it's the funny that leaves the impact... The best novel ever written about gaming. One of the funniest novels ever written about anything."
- Steve Darlington, gaming writer
"A Pratchett-esque debut novel of gods, roleplaying, and game-night kerfuffles. Buy Game Night. It's a fun, fresh, irreverent read that'll ring true to any gamer even if, unlike the protagonists, you happen not to be a god."
- John Kovalic, Writer & Artist (Dork Tower, Munchkin)
"Anyone who has gamed for more than 30 seconds will recognize the gamer archetypes displayed in "Game Night" (And if you don't, you're either extremely lucky or in denial). Nexus has turned these archetypes into TRUE archetypes - as in gods - as you watch them blunder and argue through a gaming session. "
- James R. Jenkins, Amazon
"This is the best work of gaming fiction I have ever read."
- Crothian, ENWorld Forums
"Start with a generous helping of Terry Prachett, add a dash of Douglas Adams, a pinch of Christopher Moore and season heavily with Dead Gentlemen's Gamers. This is one of those few books that I actually laughed out loud when I read it. All in all, it's a fun look at life around the gaming table through the eyes of a group of slightly dysfunctional gods."
- The Geek Life Project
