Since one of the normal AD&D group was away this week, and because we’re about to start a new campaign, we ended up playing Space Munchkin this week. I won, looking for trouble against a level 1 Janibot and there really wasn’t much anyone could do about it.
Best moment of the night: making three consecutive runaway rolls to escape the Space Vampire, his clone, and the wandering Great Cthulhu. Yeep!
Best exchange.
Dave: I go looking for trouble against the Space Amazons. I’m beating her by five.
Me: (plays card) Sadly, there are no more Space Amazons. She’s the last of her race. You’re now losing by 5.
Dave: (plays card) But she’s misunderstood. That gives her -5.
Me: So you’re tied. She wins ties.
Dave: (examining hand) (deadpan) Oh well.
(break as everyone else falls out laughing)
Dave: So, what’s the bad stuff
Me: (still laughing) You get sodomized by the Space Amazon. You get sodomized by the Last of the Misunderstood Space Amazons!
I love a game where “Last of the Misunderstood Space Amazons” has a useful context.

I think I just read that story in a Best Bisexual Erotica anthology…
Rob Wynne
Heee. Send me a copy 😉

That could also apply if someone aided the Space Amazon by adding “And Its Mate” (which would be another Space Amazon).
Rob Wynne
Very true! Of course the Space Munchkin equivilant is “…and its Clone”, which had been played on the Space Vampire. 🙂
I need a good icon for Munchkin. It’s too much fun not to post about when you play it with a good group of people.

LOL!

I have never (please don’t kick me out of the club) played an actual card game like D&D… but you make it sound AWESOME!
Rob Wynne
We could teach you to play. It’s essy. 🙂
And you can stay in the club, even if I am embarrassed to admit that I’ve forgotten how exactly we came to be aware of one another. *curses own foggy memory*

I need to get that onto the table at the next game day.
Rob Wynne
It’s really a fun game, and very useful for nights when the whole RPG thing doesn’t quite come together.
We’re considering having a games night for just card/board games, though the more I look at our collection the more I consider we need to go shopping before we do. *grin*

Tee hee :))
I LOVE Space Munchkin. And silly guys, too 😉
Rob Wynne
You would have enjoyed last night then. We had both in abundance. 🙂

If you’d combined that deck with Munchkin Cthulhu, she could have been the last of the gibbering blasphemous misunderstood Space Amazons!
Rob Wynne
*grin* I’ve played M:Cth. Due to a bad shuffle, there was a run of Curse cards early int he game. I quipped “Actually, this *is* Munchkin Cthulhu. There’s nothing in the deck *but* curse cards.” 🙂
