November 19, 2009: The Little Book That Could
The Vorkosigan Saga Sourcebook and Roleplaying Game has been in development for just slightly longer than it takes to say its title. But, from tragedy comes triumph. Which is exactly how Miles rolls anyway.
If you're a fan of the series, or if you've already picked up the PDF version from e23, then you know the score here. For the rest of you, here's the nut-shaped version: Empires that span the stars jockey for position with one another via subterfuge, diplomacy, and the occasional blowing up of stuff. At the center of much of this is the plucky Miles Vorkosigan. Now here's a guy that's had a tough time of it. He fended off his first assassination attempt before he was even born! Of course, it left him stunted, hunchbacked, and fragile. And yet, despite every unwinnable game The Universe sets in front of him, he still comes out on top. (Sure, he often changes the rules of the game when he starts losing, but that's basically the same as winning, right?)
Not that you have to play Miles, of course. This is your saga to write. Ours, at long last, is finally over.

Munchkin - T-Shirt, XXXL
It's not just a fashion statement -- it's part of the game! The official Munchkin shirt gives special powers to its wearer during a game of looting, pillaging, and backstabbing.
Official Tournament Rules:
- If you are wearing an official Munchkin shirt*, you may draw one extra card from either deck when you start play and when you come back from the dead.
- Your game character is male, even if you are not. Yes, this means that removing or changing shirts can change your sex. (It will not, however, remove the combat penalty for a "Change Sex" curse.)
- The autograph of either Steve Jackson or John Kovalic on the shirt gives you the additional power to ignore the Kneepads of Allure once per game. With both autographs, of course, you can do it twice.
- Wearing two Munchkin shirts at the same time does NOT give another extra card, does NOT let you have both sexes at once, and does NOT let you use more than two autographs.
- Use of the Cheat card with two different shirts overrides Rule 4. (It doesn't matter which shirt is on the outside.)
- But under no circumstances is there any bonus for MORE than two shirts.
It is NOT an official tournament rule, but if you wish to make a house rule that a "Lose Your Armor" card requires you to remove your shirt(s), we cannot stop you.
*On your torso. Right side out.
