The Year of the Munchkin is off to a great start! Thank you all for coming out to support Munchkin Second Edition, the first of many upcoming releases we have planned for the 25th anniversary of Munchkin. We only have a few days left on the campaign, but the great things we have coming won’t stop when it ends. 

It’s time for Flower – with the Unnatural Axe in hand – to take her rightful place on the Dice Tower! Flower will join Spyke as an additional printable STL file that can be attached to the Dice Tower platform. We will distribute the Dice Tower STL files via the pledge manager after the campaign ends (once they are ready to share). The Dice Tower STL files are included with every pledge level!

The Year of the Munchkin will also see a licensed Munchkin board game made in collaboration with Catalyst Game Labs. James Lowder will edit a second edition of The Munchkin Book, which includes both essays and game rules to supplement Munchkin play. Lynnvander Studios will be publishing a 5th Edition compatible campaign book for players who prefer classic RPG rules, but with a Munchkin twist.

Munchkin fans who also enjoy roleplaying will be thrilled that SJ Games is partnering with 9th Level Games to create The Munchkin RPG. 

Delve deep into the dungeon as a gang of the ultimate grabby-handed adventurers. Go beyond min/maxing and just max. Based on the wildly popular card game Munchkin by Steve Jackson Games. Get what you always wanted from an RPG: a character sheet, stacks of Treasure, and the chance to stab your friends in the back because we all know that loot splits better one way.

In the Munchkin RPG you play power hungry adventurers, aka munchkins, romping through dungeons, gathering Treasure, and defeating everything in your path (which sometimes might be your friends). In the end, the player with the most levels wins, because as we know, all TTRPGS have winners. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

Munchkin RPG is powered by polymorph™. 9th Level Games' polymorph™ roleplaying system is designed for fast, easy to learn, narrative rpgs. The system inverts the old RPG model – using a single die to represent your character’s role in a specific game setting. Resolution is concentrated on your character sheet, and you're encouraged to roll your die and find out what happens! With no math, quick character creation, and simple resolutions, this system is great for one shot TTRPG fun! We also have rules on how to incorporate your own Munchkin cards into the game! Huzzah! 

We’re absolutely buzzing over everything we have lined up for The Year of the Munchkin! Sign up for the Munchkin Monthly newsletter to receive updates on everything we have in store.
