Lynnvander Studios has announced Munchkin 5.5E RPG, an officially licensed tabletop roleplayinggame created in partnership with Steve Jackson Games.

The game features:

  • An officially licensed tabletop roleplaying game set in the world of Munchkin
  • 5.5E-compatible gameplay that embraces the humor and chaos of the original card game
  • Familiar Munchkin races, classes, monsters, treasures, and iconic jokes
  • Adventures filled with outrageous loot, ridiculous encounters, and delightfully questionable teamwork
  • A lighthearted fantasy experience where greed is encouraged and the worst ideas often make thebest stories

The game will be available through a BackerKit campaign, giving fans an opportunity to help bring theproject to life while securing their copy ahead of retail availability.
