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

(I'm in Australia so I don't use Amazon).

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'm in Australia so it may be a little different here. Is the book available worldwide or just in the US?

Do you have a reference number (ISBN? - Is that what it's called?) I can use so they know what I'm talking about?

Olaf the Stout

It should be available world-wide, and yes it does have an ISBN. It's 978-1-906402-01-3.

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.

 

[Jonny Nexus]

No worries! I've always wanted to be someone.

Cool. Myself, I'm hoping that if I keep plugging away at it, one day I might get to the level of "some guy" or even "some bloke".

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 finished the book and enjoyed it a great deal. I am eagerly looking forward to the sequel "Takes the Monkey Conquers the World."

Excellent! That's really good to hear.

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
