I know you all miss Jonny Nexus' column in S&P. Well he's written a novel and it is very much in the same vein - incompetant roleplayers in funny situations: Games Night
Read it, its funny.

I yoinked the last copy Amazon UK have, the rest of you wl have to wait 8-10 days :twisted:
Added it in with a couple of other books I wanted for free delivery, pity one I wanted was out of stock though.
Looking forward to reading Jonny's stuff, for those that are interested DTRPG have a collection of his S&P articles.

I might buy it, even though I have all of the original S&Ps with his articles.

Hey Jonny, how the heck are you, not seen you since the day of the famous rant at the SST comic discussion all those years back.
I'll get round to reading your book soon mate.

I would just like to add my recommendation for the book. It really is very funny and mostly spot on when it comes to how roleplayers actually play!

Well I hope it's okay for me to resurrect an old thread, and apologies for the lateness of this post, but I've got something on tomorrow, and it literally only just occurred to me that some people on here might be interested.
The news is that I will be doing a reading and talk at South Woodford Library (which is in outer north-east London) at 2:15pm tomorrow, Saturday 13th December.
I'm planning on doing a couple of readings, one from Game Night and one from Saving Stone (my not yet released novella-length Game Night prequel), following a bit of a talk about how I got to where I am and where I figure going, followed by a Q&A session. We will have books to purchase (excellent Christmas presents for your gamer friends!), and I'll be very ameniable to going off to a pub or coffee place afterwards if anyone fancies picking my brain on any particular subject. If anyone fancies talking about my Mongoose stuff I'll be particularly chuffed, as I never did get as much feedback for them as I did for my free web stuff.
The link for the event is here:

If you're travelling by tube, the nearest station is South Woodford (see map below), on the Central Line. It's apparently about a ten minute walk, and looks quite straight-forward on the app. (Just down George Lane and then turn right onto Woodford Green / High Road). And no, I don't know why Streetmap.co.uk has the street name wrong, but I've cross checked with Google maps, and that is where it is.
Or if you want to drive, it's nicely located next to the North Circular, which is always a nice relaxing drive at this time of year. (Although it's less than a mile from the M11, so it's good for anyone heading from the north or east of London).
The full address is:
South Woodford Library
116 High Rd, London, E18 2QS
020 87089067
If any of you guys can make it, I'd be very chuffed.

Answer, rather late, is that I'm okay, and a bit busy (and there are too many forums!), between day job, personal life, and writing. But it's all good, and I'm now making good headway on the second novel of which I have very high hopes.

And for that you shall be punished :lol:
No seriously, good to hear from you, I've read Game night twice, brilliant.
Let us know when the sequel gets released and through what channels, I'd love to get it.
Sorry can't make London tomorrow though, hope it goes well.
