I don't quite get the cause/effect relationship there.
I'm in New Zealand, and I've bought stacks from Amazon over the years.

From my experience, Amazon shipping seems to make things too expensive. I've bought things from the US before, but I've found that I'm usually better off buying from somewhere other than Amazon once shipping is taken into account. Having said that, the items I've bought have been almost completely RPG stuff so YMMV.

Edit: And just to clarify, I normally make a few large orders, rather than ordering 1-2 items at a time, so I can minimise shipping costs wherever possible.

I've just had a look on Amazon now. With the recent changes to the US postal system meaning that I can no longer get books sent out by the slow, but quite cheap, sea mail option Amazon is now quite competitively priced for some books. I'll have to keep it in mind for the future.
I found it curious that there isn't an Amazon.com.au, when there's Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.fr, Amazon.de, Amazon.jp etc.
I'm a little surprised at that as well. I know we're not the biggest country in the world but it wouldn't seem like such a difficult thing to do. Maybe it has something to do with the tyranny of distance? It seems like a bit of a no-brainer though.
I am eagerly looking forward to the sequel "Takes the Monkey Conquers the World."
I'd forgotten about Takes... I have a few thoughts for a couple of Game Night sequelish novels, but that's a new one.
As it happens, I'm at hard at work on my next, as yet un-named, novel, which could be broadly described as, "An action comedy set in what was once a typical fantasy world, a few hundred years after someone figured out how to mass-produce magic."
I'm really hoping people will enjoy that one as much as they seem to be enjoying Game Night.
Just finished reading the book and I found it entertaining. A couple of spots had me snickering as they reminded me of some situations in our games. And I liked the ending, very well done

Hmm. If I were to personally thank you would that look attentive... or needy?
Anyhow, and regardless, thanks!
Ah yes, the author's bane: confusing reader interaction!
Congrats on the book!

I just got news today that Amazon.com can't get any copies and so they've cancelled my order.
We are sorry to report that we will not be able to obtain the following item(s) from your order:
Jonny Nexus (Author) "Game Night"
Though we had expected to be able to send this item to you, we've since found that it is not available from any of our sources at this time. We realize this is disappointing news to hear, and we apologize for the inconvenience we have caused you.
We have cancelled this item from your order.
Looks like I'll have to find another source.
Print more copies!

Yeah, sorry about that. It wasn't planned, and I only just recently found out about it myself.
Basically, what's happened is that we've updated the book to have some quotes at the front and to fix some typos. Unfortunately, due to some kind of *ahem* issue at the printers, the book has gone temporarily out of print. It should, hopefully be back in print within a few days, but it might take a few days more before it's back on Amazon.

Okay, it's now back up, on both Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk.
(It's only available from third parties on Amazon.co.uk, but since these are selling it at cheaper than Amazon - 6.90, compared with 7.99 on Amazon proper, I don't think this should worry anyone).
Bad stereotypes (of RPG players and RPG characters) aren't funny in and of themselves, despite what the author may think.
Boring. I realise that the author was trying to parody a bad RPG plot, but it wasn't interesting or humourous.
There were a couple of funny scenes, but most of it was lame.
Jonny, I tried to buy this from Paizo's online store but they don't seem to stock it. Do you know if there is any reason why they don't? You really should see about them getting it in. I'd buy it from them if they had it (I'm in Australia so I don't use Amazon).

...it *isn't* yet available through the standard game distribution channels.
Just an update to say that the situation above has changed, and you should now be able to order Game Night through games stores worldwide. Wherever your FLGS is, they should be able to order it through Indie Press Revolution by quoting stock code MOP001. You can get full details about this in this thread.
If your FLGS is in the UK or Ireland, they have an additional option as it can be ordered through Esdevium Games, again with a stock code of MOP001. There was a problem a few weeks ago with them going out-of-stock (I was getting people contact me to complain). But that should now be resolved as we've sent them a batch more.
And finally, as before, you should be able to order it from book shops by quoting its ISBN, which is 978-1-906402-01-3.
