I take it this is the Munchkin's Guide to Power Gaming book?
My friend bought that awhile ago. Good read.
What NOT to do and how to counter those that do.

Definitely. It's another one of those books that should be on every GM's
shelf :)

Uhhh. No. If you had followed the link you would have found out that it
leads to a card game.

You _do_ have internet access -- without it, you wouldn't be posting to the
ShadowRN list. What you probably mean is that you don't have world wide web
access, which is something entirely different :)

Well then, I'll post the text from the page. If you would like a copy of
the graphics and have the capability to recieve attachments, let me know and
I'll send the few relevant graphics.

<begin copy>
Written by Steve Jackson Illustrated by John Kovalic


Go down in the dungeon. Kill everything you meet. Backstab your friends and
steal their stuff. Grab the treasure and run.

Admit it. You love it.

This new card game, designed by Steve Jackson, captures the essence of the
dungeon experience . . . with none of that stupid roleplaying stuff. You and
your friends compete to kill monsters and grab magic items. And what magic
items! Don the Horny Helmet and the Boots of Butt-Kicking. Wield the Staff
of Napalm . . . or maybe the Chainsaw of Bloody Dismemberment. Start by
slaughtering the Potted Plant and the Drooling Slime, and work your way up
to the Plutonium Dragon . . .

And it's illustrated by John Kovalic! Fast-playing and silly, Munchkin can
reduce any roleplaying group to hysteria. And, while they're laughing, you
can steal their stuff.

168 cards, rules sheet, and sturdy set-up box
Stock #1408 Suggested Retail Price: $24.95
ISBN 1-55634-473-2
<end copy>

Please note: The game hasn't been released yet, but can be pre-ordered.
