Munchkin is a real TTRPG now. On purpose. With rules and everything.
Munchkin 5.5e Ye Olde Rulebook is a sourcebook and adventure book for the tabletop RPG you've been pretending to play correctly.
Look, you were going to play your TTRPG like a game of Munchkin. Now, you can include the backstabbing, loot-hording, and blatant disregard for the story plot with official rules support.
This campaign brings not only Ye Olde Rulebook to your table for maximum chaos, but also The Deadliest Dungeon where you can test your mettle and absolutely, definitely, totally follow the rules. Fight new monsters, trigger new and interesting traps, and hoarde useful loot. It will all be useful. Probably.
Munchkin 5.5e delivers everything you need to become an unstoppable force of greed.
New subclasses including the Oath of the Killjoy Paladin and the College of Nihilism Bard
Built in cheating mechanics called "Cheeky Cheating"
Four new species including Mimics!
All the cursed items, spells, and traps you need
A Pun-spiration system
New feats and spells
And stat blocks for some of the classic Munchkin characters and monsters we all love to hate
Every option embodies the chaos of Munchkin while still being usable in a serious campaign.... For some reason.
Go on grand adventures and show what every gaming table already knows: that treasure trumps everything: relationships, backstories, NPCs… even your Game Master.
Munchkin is a fast-paced and chaotic card game developed by Steve Jackson Games in 2001. For over two decades, Munchkin has remained a tabletop favorite with numerous expansions and sequels.
Players take on the role of “munchkins,” a nod to role-players who focus only on obtaining the best loot and making the most powerful character possible. The game focuses around killing monsters, getting loot and leveling up your character, and both working together and backstabbing your friends to get to level 10 first.
Munchkin 5.5e flips the script. Why only nod to these role-play tropes when you can embody them?
Friendship is not the real treasure you found along the way. That’s just a lie. The real treasure is treasure.
Lock away your dice with the Iron Meowden dice jail or play with fate using the Deck of Ridiculous Things. Munchkin 5.5e is coming to your table with a source book, adventure book, and tons of loot and accessories for a dragons cave.

🎲 We Found More Loot: Foam Brain Games Joins Munchkin 5.5E!
Hello, Munchkins!
Welcome to our first pre-launch update!
We figured we should start with something important.
Loot.
This campaign will contain tons of exciting loot and treasure for you to hoard away. May I offer you a Rubber Duck of Doom in these trying times?
We’re also teaming up with Foam Brain Games to create official dice, dice bags, and pins for Munchkin 5.5E RPG! Foam Brain knows their way around shiny math rocks and the various containers we use to hoard them, so naturally, we handed them the keys to the treasure room.
This also means there’s going to be plenty here for longtime Munchkin fans who may not be RPG players. We’ll have more to reveal as we get closer to launch, including a better look at what Foam Brain has been cooking up.
Don't forget - you being here means you've already found some cool loot! Follow the project and pledge during the campaign, and you’ll get a FREE Munchkin sticker pack!
Already following? You’re set. Just make sure you pledge when the campaign goes live to claim your stickers.
But perhaps you would like... more stuff.
Reserve for $3 and Get Two Munchkin d2 Silver Coin!
What Else Are We Hiding?
Over the next few weeks, we’ll be using these updates to show you more of Munchkin 5.5E RPG, including characters, monsters, loot, and some of the other nonsense we’ve managed to cram into this thing.
And since Munchkin is significantly more fun when everyone gets an opportunity to make bad decisions, we want you involved too.
Which brings us to our first poll - What has caused the most arguments at your Munchkin table?
