Lynnvander Studios and Steve Jackson Games have announced Munchkin 5.5E RPG

Graphic promoting the role-playing game Munchkin 5.5E, featuring a cartoon dragon and a knight with gold coins and a sign for BackerKit, highlighting a new Pun-spiration system.

Lynnvander Studios has announced Munchkin 5.5E RPG, an officially licensed tabletop roleplaying game created in partnership with Steve Jackson Games. Built for 5.5E-compatible play, the game expands the world of Munchkin into a full roleplaying experience where kicking down doors, collecting ridiculous treasure, and making hilariously bad decisions are all part of the adventure.

Inspired by the bestselling Munchkin card game, Munchkin 5.5E RPG captures the same fast-paced humor and chaotic competition that has entertained players for more than two decades. Instead of noble heroes destined to save the world, players become greedy adventurers racing to gather loot, defeat absurd monsters, and occasionally turn on one another when the treasure is too good to share.

The game features:

  • An officially licensed tabletop roleplaying game set in the world of Munchkin
  • 5.5E-compatible gameplay that embraces the humor and chaos of the original card game
  • Familiar Munchkin races, classes, monsters, treasures, and iconic jokes
  • Adventures filled with outrageous loot, ridiculous encounters, and delightfully questionable teamwork
  • A lighthearted fantasy experience where greed is encouraged and the worst ideas often make the best stories

The game will be available through a BackerKit campaign, giving fans an opportunity to help bring the project to life while securing their copy ahead of retail availability.
