β¦ Synopsis
A ten-thousand-year quest is about to be completed. Prophecies will be fulfilled, ancient riddles answered, legendary evils bested, and the nature of the universe revealed. All thatβs needed is a band of mighty heroes to do the completing.
Unfortunately for the locals, some of the gods have taken a personal interest in the chronicle of these heroesβ adventures. Now they are each guiding one of the characters towards the conclusion of their epic journey. That is, when theyβre not squabbling, backstabbing each other, blowing things up by accident, refusing to play by the rules, and turning the AllFatherβs creation into a mess of petty arguments, fantasy clichΓ©, gratuitous combat and unnecessary dice-rolls.
If you thought your games group couldnβt be any worse, Game Night shows just how bad things can get when a bunch of unruly deities decide they want to play. And may the heavens help us all.
