After months of behind-the-scenes work, we're happy to announce that Munchkin Unicorns and Friends is now on Kickstarter! We've taken this new mini-expansion, illustrated by Katie Cook ( Munchkin Love Shark Baby, Munchkin Kittens), Ian McGinty ( Munchkin Knights, the Munchkin comic), and Len Peralta ( Munchkin Clowns, Super Kitty Bug Slap), to Kickstarter for one reason: To give you the chance to increase the number of cards in the box! . . .

Guy McLimore is one of the Original Gangstas of tabletop roleplaying, with his first professional credit being an article in Dragon Magazine #6 in 1977. He bought hot dogs from a kid named Ernie Gygax at Gen Con IX, and once lost the only 20-sided die in southern Indiana irretrievably down the unfinished wall in a friend's attic game room and had to draw chits from a cup to keep playing for two weeks until a replacement set came from the Dungeon Hobby Shop in Lake Geneva . . .

There I was, minding my own business, when I thought of a cow joke.* Before I could even write it down, I thought of two more. By the time I got those three written down, another was banging at the rickety doors of my attention span . . .

With the Kickstarter launch of The Fantasy Trip fast approaching, development is in full swing, and Steve is leading the charge. In addition to writing and rewriting rules, he's been personally reviewing all of the components, from the box art all the way to the counters.

As we continue to evaluate our sales across all our game lines, we have to make hard decisions about what to keep in print and what to let go. Munchkin is a 17-year-old line with many dozens of titles, and unfortunately, we are past the point where supporting all of them is prudent or even possible. From time to time, we'll post an update about titles that are running low at our main warehouse (or are already out of stock) that you may want to pick up at your friendly local game store or order directly from Warehouse 23 (while supplies last), so you aren't stuck paying exorbitant aftermarket prices to complete your collection . . .

Astute readers of this site – and fans of GURPS – may remember that we added GURPS to DriveThruRPG late last year. Since we talked about what was hot on Warehouse 23 in April last month, we thought we'd poke into what's selling in the world of GURPS on DriveThruRPG.
Transhuman Space Classic
GURPS Basic Set: Campaigns
GURPS Basic Set: Characters
GURPS Classic: Space Atlas 2
GURPS Powers
GURPS City Stats
GURPS Classic: Russia
GURPS Low-Tech
GURPS Martial Arts
GURPS Classic: Space Atlas
Since GURPS books are still relatively new on DriveThruRPG – and we're still working to bring over the existing library – it's not too surprising that core books are among the best sellers . . .

With 29 supplements and counting (30 if you include GURPS Magical Styles: Dungeon Magic) and the Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game, it's safe to say that GURPS Dungeon Fantasy is the longest-running and most successful GURPS series. Yet dungeon-crawling adventure for GURPS didn't start with the release of GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 1: Adventurers in December 2007 . . .

Get ready for some Munchkin, some magic, and probably also a mess: The weekend of August 24 will bring with it #PlayMunchkin Magical Mess events around the U.S. and Canada! These events feature Munchkin Magical Mess, a core Munchkin game that's in the same vein as Moop's Monster Mashup. Magical Mess includes lots of animal puns – you can wield the Flamingun to fight the Panda Ray or Amoeba Earhart, for example!
Each store signed up for the events will have tons of promo cards, including Mistakenly Modified Moop – which is the promo card featuring the mischievous magician Moop, who you'll see on some cards in this set . . .
