Game Night
A Fiction, Gaming, Fantasy book. right now the AllFather wishes he did have a watch to examine, if only to prove to himself...
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 cliche, gratuitous combat and unnecessary dice rolls. If you thought your games group couldn't be any worse, Game Night shows just how bad things can get when a bunch of unruly deities decide they want to play. And may the heavens help us all. Jonny Nexus is editor of the acclaimed webzine Critical Miss and author of The Slayers' Guide to Games Masters

This was a fun and well-written book, but as others said, I was disappointed with the ending.In the Overland, the Gods are playing a game because, well you know, it's game night. However, they aren't using token but real people on the world below them. Now they must guide their mortals through the AllFathers game and try to save the... This is a book for people who have roleplayed a lot, who have suffered through it and yet they still kept doing it. As Jonny Nexus himself used to say in his fanzine "Critical Miss", disfunctional gamers.If you have seen "Knights of the Dinner Table" you know what I mean, but there is the rub. While this kind of disfunctionality is... elegant satireIt's a great read! And filled with such subtle criticisms of the world we live in as to be brilliant, especially considering that gaming is itself the criticism. We'll read, and the ending is also to,subtly brilliant I smiled and sat for a few minutes reveling in it. Thanks for the read!
