I've played a few times where I made the characters made the characters
make Body tests to squeeze into a really small space. Only thing I didn't
mention was I wanted misses. Boy did that throw the 13 Body, extrmely
Munchkin players that brought his own character to my game for a loop. He
rolls his 13 dice against a target number of 4, then looks at me all
smiling, 10 successes. Oooh, only 3 misses, nope you couldn't squeeze in.
I liked it, and it seemed to work well.

so she said fuck this town
nothing's ever going down
spun herself round and round
drilled herself into the ground
twenty kids fell in that hole
i was twenty-one, out of control
she crawled right inside my brain
she's some mental hurricane
