There is a thread in the General RPG Forum that seems to imply it is pretty good. I am considering to pick it up eventually (if I can get it in Germany). I'd looking for that thread.

Edit: Game Night, by Jonny Nexus. You need to read it:)

Well obviously, I'd say it was good, because I'm the author.

But I you can see a bunch of quotes (with links to the pages they come from) here and you can read a free PDF preview of Chapter One here.

Oh, and thanks for mentioning the adverts. It's good to hear that people are noticing them.

Really quick:

It truly is a fun read; I have recommeneded it to all of my friends who game. The best thing about it is that it is a really "skinny" read - there's not a lot of waste to his writing. He gets to the story, gets to the fun, and keeps the gas pedal buried throughout.
