The Nightside novels take place in "that hidden magical heart of
London, where gods and monsters walk side by side, and sometimes attend
the same self-help groups..." (Hex in the City, Simon R. Green). Highly
recommended for anyone with a twisted funny bone and a taste for both the
weird and for knock-down drag-out fights involving everything from gunslingers
to fallen gods.
Recommended for gamemasters who liked Skirmisher's own Nuisances for
its sense of mischief. Those interested in the Nightside as a world may
also enjoy Simon Green's Drinking Midnight Wine, which appears to touch
the Nightside via Nicholas Hob, the Serpent's Son, and other Powers and
Dominations, and his Shadows Fall, a town which is mentioned in
the Nightside novels as the place forgotten gods go to die. |
