May 16, 2013

I can’t say I’m aware of too many novels which take place at a gaming convention but fan favorite Matt Forbeck is getting his Dangerous Games series off to a flying start with Dangerous Games: How to Play. Death stalks the halls at Gen Con and a young game designer has to do more than roll dice to solve the mystery. You can pick up Dangerous Games: How to Play, in PDF, from our friends at DriveThruFiction for $4.99.

About the book:

WELCOME TO THE BIG SHOW!

Once a year, the greatest tabletop gamers in the world descend upon Indianapolis for Gen Con — the Best Four Days in Gaming — to play games, see friends, and have fun. They play things like Dungeons & Dragons, Magic: The Gathering, Warhammer 40,000, Settlers of Catan, Munchkin, and everything else they can get their hands on. Mostly the competition is friendly.

Sometimes it is not.

When a world-famous game designer turns up murdered at the convention, Liam Parker — the young game designer who stumbles across the body — makes it
his quest to figure out who killed the man, and why.

In the end, Liam must figure out the rules of this most dangerous game fast — or risk losing his life.

How to Play is the first novel in the Dangerous Games series.
