I played in a campaign once (**&*, of course) where all the characters were
were just sets of numbers, our GM did not even have us make up a character
background. This was the ultimate in munchkin campaigns.
My point is, the game was really boring, and I hated it, and I thought that
that was all that role-playing was. But once I figured out what role-playing
really is, then I got to like it alot more than I did in that first campaign.
I thought I was going somewhere with this, but I think I lost my point in
there somewhere (Help! I've lost my dot!) *about five minutes pass* Oh,
yeah, my point was that games specifically _for_ munchkins, and to a lesser
extent, with munchkin players in it, is not a fun game. It's not Role-playing,
and it's no fun. (I ruled out Magic: the addiction for the same reason)
Oh, and I have noticed that as far as replies go, I tend to give them a little
more respect if they're spelled correctly and capitalization. Does anyone
else notice this?
