*claps at munchkinproof for a moment* How munchkin proof? Nearly
total-munchkin proof, or just enough so that you really have to work at
being a munchkin?

If you think about it, RPGers are all munchkins. You're sitting there, in
your game, surrounded by bad guys, and you try coming up with the most
inventive solutions you can to survive and triumph.

And thus, we're all quasi-munchkins, trying to swing the rules and
situations our ways to come out alive and on top.

spiritual meaning for me, as I suspect it does for all of us.


-Jared
