Lynnvander Studios Announces Munchkin® 5.5E RPG, the Official Tabletop Roleplaying Game Based on the Iconic Munchkin Card Game
Officially licensed by Steve Jackson Games, Munchkin® 5.5E RPG brings the humor, monsters, and outrageous treasure of the beloved card game to a full 5E-compatible roleplaying experience.
Lynnvander Studios has announced Munchkin® 5.5E RPG, an officially licensed tabletop roleplaying game created in partnership with Steve Jackson Games.

“We want to give you every humorous absurdity you’ve ever experienced during a game, a reason to play it over and over again. Not only will the mechanics reflect the humor of Munchkin®, we’re designing it in a way that it is not only for Munchkin® themes in a vacuum but can be ported into any other campaign setting.” Tommy Gofton – Lynnvander Studios

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

A Munchkin TTRPG BackerKit will launch October 2026. This gives fans an opportunity to help bring the project to life while securing their copy ahead of retail availability.

Longtime Munchkin® fans won’t need to be RPG players to take part. The campaign will also introduce exclusive Munchkin® merchandise and collectibles available to fans interested in the wider world of Munchkin® beyond the new roleplaying game.
