Actually, "munchkin" is a colloquialism referring to annoying "big
numbers" players (you know the ones, with the maximums in all attributes
and the special armor that nothing can possibly get through and the big
gun that slays anything it hits, "oh, and did I mention he has special
cyberware that doesn't cost any essence so he also have a magic rating of
9 and knows the "implosion" spell?")

They are players obsessed with having the "best" character (in the sense
of "highest level" or whatever you want to refer to it as...)
