Munchkin

[Maitre Du Donjon]

I haven't seen this word used in a long time it seems... What gives?

Maitre D

 

[Crothian]

People have finally stoped misusing the word by creating definitions for it? Or as is more likely the case they have moved on to the newer buzz words.

 

[Maitre Du Donjon]

That fighter is sooo paradigmal

 

[Olgar Shiverstone]

Munchkins got nerfed, obviously.

 

[Mark Chance]

It's still being used. Just gotta hunt a bit more, or move to different hunting grounds. And, still, munchkin ultimately ends up meaning I don't approve of the way you play the game and, furthermore, I am morally superior to you because of it.

 

[Tom Cashel]

This new edition is going to open a whole new can of memes.

Besides, there's munchkins everywhere you look these days...

 

[Darkness]

I think most people currently care mostly for 3.5, and what it might have nerfed.

Don't worry; things'll get back to normal soon enough.

 

[LordAO]
