Girl Genius d20?

[jdrakeh]

Okay, you may have sold me on picking it up. So what are all the supplemental Munchkin games for? I thought I remember seeing a ton of different boxes. Do they change the rules or add different themes or what? Do I need a bunch of different box sets to have fun or is the original enough?

There are both supplements to the original Munchkin (e.g., Munchkin 2: Unnatural Axe) and standalone Munckin Variants for other genres (e.g., Munchkin Cthulhu). There were also some Munchkin RPG books (which, IMO, were a fun read but otherwise useless) and there is a Munchkin boardgame (Munchkin Quest). Munchkin is really The Business of Steve Jackson Games at the moment.

Came for news on a Girl Genius D20 project, left with a hankering to play Munchkin...

Xtheth speaks the truth: Munchkin is a great game. It's illustrated by John Kovalik, the same guy who does the Dork Tower comics.

Haven't seen any d20 stuff myself, but personally I think Spirit of the Century would be utterly perfect for running the Girl Genius setting. Might want to give that a look.

I saw a SotG Girl Genius game at a con last year. You're right: the system fit the comic very well.
