We released the Munchkin Holiday Grab Box and Munchkin Santa-Sized Holiday Grab Box to supporters of the Kickstarter project a few months ago, and watching as Munchkin fans ripped open their packages and dug through the goodies inside was a bit of a blast for all of the elves here at the office. We wanted every box to be a surprise, so imagine our shock when one of you naughty Munchkin players, Lance Kirkman, shot and posted videos as you unboxed the two different packages . . .

I'm a huge fan of holidays, especially Christmas, and as such, I spend a lot of time reading about the history of these days we hold dear.

Those of you who came to John Kovalic's work through Munchkin or Chez Geek may have noticed a little bug on some of the boxes that says "Dork Tower" and wondered what the heck that is.
Dork Tower actually predates both of those games. Back in 1998, John started drawing a funny little strip about a game group and their hijinks . . .

Our pointers on designing dungeons for the Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game recommended that monsters be a good match to the adventure and the adventurers. That means you'll eventually want to create your own to fit your scenarios and challenge your players (especially experienced ones!). Monster Traits and Creating Monsters ( Monsters, p. 9 and p. 61) are a good start, but here's further advice . . .

As Santa's elves load down the sleigh, our own shipping elves have escaped into the wilds of Texas and are no longer packing orders. We'll deal with them later, but for now, we want to point out that even though we cannot get gifts into your hands before Christmas morning, your friendly local game store is most likely open and ready to help you make a selection or two . . .
