The Munchkin Roleplaying Game is a fantasy role-playing game, designed by Andrew Hackard and Steve Jackson and published by Steve Jackson Games. It adapts the Munchkin card game to the D20 system. As with the card game, the game encourages "munchkiny" behavior with outrageous items and monsters.

[edit] System

Main article: D20 system

The Munchkin Roleplaying Game is based on the D20 system but adds new classes, races, monsters, and items to give it a more "munchkiny" feel.

[edit] History

The Munchkin Roleplaying Game was released with three core books, mirroring the core books of the third edition of Dungeons & Dragons: the Munchkin Player's Handbook, Munchkin Master's Guide, and Munchkin Monster Manual. A Gamemasters screen called Munchkin Master's Screen was also released. Later a supplement to the Munchkin Monster Manual called Munchkin Monster Manual 2.5 was released, parodying the name of 3.5 revision of Dungeons & Dragons.

Munchkin Roleplaying Game is currently out of print.

[edit] Spin-offs

The Star Munchkin Roleplaying Game was the game's single spin-off. Similar to how the Munchkin Roleplaying Game was based on the Munchkin card game, the Star Munchkin Roleplaying Game was based on the Munchkin spin-off Star Munchkin.
