Description
x"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 Six Gods Sit Down To Spend An Evening Roleplaying. Badly. In an anachronistic realm at the far end of creation, 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. "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)

By Jonny Nexus
xJonny Nexus is a Brighton based IT guy who moonlights as a writer in his spare time. When not doing that, he spends time with his wife, daughter and dog; reads; watches TV, films and the occasional work of theatre; and engages in intermittent bouts of extremely bad roleplaying. Jonny began his writing career by launching the cult gaming webzine Critical Miss (criticalmiss.com), before moving on to write regular columns for the roleplaying magazines Valkyrie and Signs & Portents, as well as penning the Slayers' Guide to Games Masters for Mongoose Publishing. Game Night is his first novel. Originally published in 2007, it was shortlisted for an ENnie award in 2008.
