It's 48 B&W non-glossy pages of gamer humor--basically, a John Kovalic comic book in hardbound. It's funny, but it's not worth more than $10. Most of the humor comes in the tables specifying random dungeon sounds, random flavors, colors, etc.

An amusing read for the experienced player or DM, with some sage advice and odd items to toss into a campaign. Some, if not all, of these items appear in the card game Munchkin, in the first 3 sets (Munchkin, Munchkin Unnatural Axe, Munchkin 3: Clerical Errors).

Warning: to be used, must be accompanied by the associated Munchkin d20 Players Handbk (D20 Generic System) and Munchkin d20 Monster Manual (D20 Generic System), which are difficult to find, with information that may well be gleaned from the card game, as well. I dunno - I haven't found them, but I'm not so much looking, either.

Solid, well-written, brief, and apparently fairly profitable. Caveat emptor, and like that.

If you like RPG's and have a shred of a sense of humor, even if you're not familiar with the Munchkin Card game, then this book is for you. At a whopping 48 pages, it shines in a world of enormous and involved Dungeon Master's books. It explains several styles of DMing as well (some I had certainly never thought of!) The equipment used in the Munchkin card game appears here as usable items for characters. Sooo much fun, and a great read. Just keep in mind that, like nearly all RPGs, you'll need the player's handbook and a monster manual as well, which can get pricey fast (the books are out of print.)
