King of Rpgs 1

Jason Thompson, Level 14 Shaman/Oozemaster and author of Manga: The Complete Guide, joins forces with Victor Hao to deliver a wickedly funny send-up of manga and gamer culture. Roll up your character and get ready! THE GREATEST GAMER ON EARTH At the University of California, Escondido, no one would guess that freshman Shesh Maccabee is a hard-core gamer-and in recovery to boot, following a court order, a wireless ban, and months of therapy (all because of one little seven-day Internet cafeacute; episode). His friend Mike-who personally prefers Japanese-console RPGs-is tasked with keeping Shesh far away from any computer with access to World of Warfare. Everything's going according to plan-until a Ren Faire fangirl introduces them to the campus gaming club, where they meet Theodore, a fanatical tabletop game master whose single goal in life is to run the greatest Mages & Monsters game in the world. And there just happens to be room for two more players. Soon Shesh and Mike are dragged into the dungeon of hard-core gaming-and cops, baboon men, Sri Lankan cave roaches, and Gotheacute;mon card collectors converge in the zaniest adventure that ever involved twenty-sided dice!
