This is a meant to be an add-on to the popular game 'Munchkin.
To make this add-on pack a success, we need you to review these ideas and see if they are any good. Ones you like, we will keep in. Ones you do not like we will either modify or ditch. If you think there is a card that we've missed (One that contains you, perhaps) we will try to include that as best we can. If you submit an idea, we will try to put it in as well.
We also need illustrations and drawings to go with these cards, beacause I'm crap at that. You have to be better than my attempts.
Please direct all feedback to the Io livejournal here. It is set up for public posting, so please add your comments there.
