Munchkin (Reprint)

Go down in the dungeon. Kill everything you meet. Backstab your friends and steal their stuff. Grab the treasure and run.

Admit it. You love it.

Munchkin is the mega-hit card game about dungeon adventure . . . with none of that stupid roleplaying stuff. You and your friends compete to kill monsters and grab magic items. And what magic items! Don the Horny Helmet and the Boots of Butt-Kicking. Wield the Staff of Napalm . . . or maybe the Chainsaw of Bloody Dismemberment. Start by slaughtering the Potted Plant and the Drooling Slime, and work your way up to the Plutonium Dragon . . .

And it's illustrated by John Kovalic!

Fast-playing and silly, Munchkin can reduce any roleplaying group to hysteria. And while they're laughing, you can steal their stuff.

Ages 10 and up. Plays in one to two hours. Three to six players.

168 cards, one six-sided die, and a rulesheet. Stock #1408, ISBN 080742094680. $29.95.

112 cards for the game of killing monsters and taking their stuff. Play a new race: Orcs! Face foes like the Hydrant and the Tentacle Demon. Equip yourself with dread armor like the Spiked Codpiece.

Munchkin 2 – Unnatural Axe is a supplement to Munchkin; you will need the original game to play. Or you could add it to any of the other Munchkin game sets instead. It'll work, and it'll be silly, and that's what we all want here.

Munchkin 7 – Cheat With Both Hands (Reprint)

Stir Things Up!

Admit it. You really like to combine all your Munchkin sets . . . the stupider things get, the better. Playing Star Munchkin Cthulhu Booty Zombies is really weird and really fun . . . but it can also slow things down.

There are a lot of ways we COULD have addressed this problem. But this is Munchkin, so the solution we chose was to create a lot of really overpowered new cards. Why be a Super Munchkin when you can be an Ultra Munchkin? If a Half-Breed isn't enough, you can be a 1/3-Breed. And if a single Cheat! card doesn't do it for you, you can Cheat With Both Hands!

There are also a lot more monster enhancers . . . and ITEM enhancers, too. There are several new low-level monsters to help you get those easy kills. Until somebody takes that Sock Puppet and turns it into the Ultra-Rare Extremely Sneaky Sock Puppet With Extra Cheese . . .

Munchkin till you drop – just add players!

This is a supplement, not a stand-alone game. It is meant to be combined with two or more Munchkin games, with or without other supplements.

Also, We Think 7 Is a Neat Number

This set replaces both Munchkin Blender and More Good Cards, which was the original Munchkin 7. We didn't want to reprint More Good Cards, because it was only 56 cards and most of those were originally from Munchkin Blender, anyway*. We didn't want to re-use the name Blender, since this new set – by popular demand – has the classic Munchkin brown card backs rather than Screaming Purple Cards. And we didn't want to eat our vegetables, because vegetables are yucky.

We hope you are confused now, because we are, too . . . but we thought it would be SLIGHTLY less confusing to release a new Munchkin 7 than to call this expansion Munchkin 8 and have frustrated people writing us for the rest of our lives asking, "Why can't my store get Munchkin 7 in stock?"

* And what about the cards NOT from Munchkin Blender? They're in Munchkin Monster Enhancers, a booster pack available wherever you bought this set.

Munchkin Kittens (Reprint)

GURPS Power-Ups 10: Skill Trees

Basic Training

While the GURPS skill system works, it isn't everybody's cup of tea. The most common complaint is that there are too many skills! For other gamers, the headaches are in details such as prerequisites, skill difficulties, the "jumpy" cost progression, webs of defaults, grouped skills and specialties that do similar things in different ways, and specialties and techniques that also overlap just enough to be confusing.

All this stuff clutters character sheets and gamers' minds. While GURPS Power-Ups 7: Wildcard Skills offers one solution, wildcard skills are cinematic and sacrifice distinctions that matter in realistic games. GURPS Power-Ups 10: Skill Trees aims for the middle ground: almost as simple as wildcards, almost as realistic as the standard skill system.

Skill Trees proposes a telescoping "skill tree" system that lets you record only what matters. It offers easy-to-remember pricing and moves fiddly skill-related details from character creation – where they vex players, especially new ones – to pre-game or in-play decisions by the GM, who can ignore them in the name of speed. Being "GURPS Power-Ups 9: Alternate Attributes, but for skills," this is an advanced tool . . . but once the rules hacking is done, skills will serve you, not vice versa.
