"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! HE GREATEST GAMER ON EARTH t 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 cafe 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 Gothemon card collectors converge in the zaniest adventure that ever involved twenty-sided dice!"
