munchkinland — **Munchkin Land #30: The Chinese Underworld Revolution** Apr 03, 2013
Show notes

Munchkin is a dedicated deck card game by Steve Jackson Games, written by Steve Jackson and illustrated by John Kovalic, that has a humorous take on role-playing games.

It's a time of openness in China as the west moves in open trade routes, capture territory, and take over the underworld - literally!

The material presented here is my original creation, intended for use with the ***Munchkin*** system from Steve Jackson Games. This material is not official and is not endorsed by Steve Jackson Games.

**Sex #1**
**Writer: Joe Casey**
**Artist: Piotr Kowalski**
**Publisher: Image Comics**
**Cover Price: $2.99**
Finally, a good reason for you come in the comicbook store -- to buy SEX! Simon Cooke has retired from his own "alternative lifestyle" and returned to the city he'd previously sworn to protect. Now he's just another average citizen -- or is he? The term "adult" has never been so appropriate as it is when it applies to SEX.

Major Spoilers Poll of the Week
Stranded Edition
Rodrigo and I had an interesting discussion the other night following a massively long recording of Muchkin Land – a fan podcast that celebrates the card game Munchkin from Steve Jackson Games. I know i didn’t need to explain the podcast to you, because you already listen to it faithfully as one of the Major Spoilerites. Regardless, the topic of being stuck in a boat in the middle of the ocean or stranded on an island worked its way into the conversation and Rodrigo raised an interesting question.

The Great Escape is a 1963 American film about an escape by Allied prisoners of war from a German POW camp during World War II, starring Steve McQueen, James Garner, and Richard Attenborough. The film is based on the book of the same name by Paul Brickhill, a non-fiction account of the mass escape from Stalag Luft III in Sagan (now Żagań, Poland), in the province of Lower Silesia, Nazi Germany. The characters are composites of real men. The film was made by the Mirisch Company, released by United Artists, and produced and directed by John Sturges.

Top Five #040: Songs from the '90s

Top Five is a show where the hosts categorize, rank, compare, and stratify everything… from cars to gadgets to people and movies. From stuff that is hot, and things that are not nearly as interesting - it's Top Five.

The '90s was a decade filled with music of all kinds, so it kind of makes since to try and narrow a decades worth of music to five...
