Munchkin News From Origins

We had a full-scale presence at Origins Game Fair last weekend -- including the second incarnation of the Munchkin Tavern, and the first to feature a package of hotel rooms with special Munchkin swag! It was my first Origins, and it was a good first one to attend, because we made four exciting announcements over the course of the show:

• We have already announced our T-shirt deal with Mighty Fine, but some people hadn't heard about it, so we made a new bookmark to remind them!
• On Thursday, Phil and I tag-teamed the announcement of a deal with Funko to create custom vinyl Munchkin toys. We've been working on this deal for years, and Funko puts out a LOT of great stuff; we're glad we were able to put everything together!
• Friday saw the announcement of a deal with BOOM! Studios to create a monthly Munchkin comic book! This is another project that we've wanted for some time, so the squees were loud and sustained when we got the last bits of the deal worked out in time for the announcement. SQUEEEEEEEEE!
• Finally, we announced the second title in our partnership with AEG: Munchkin Smash Up! We're working with Paul Peterson and the AEG folks to make this the best game it can be. AEG were great to work with on Munchkin Loot Letter, and I'm looking forward to working with them again! (Further congratulations are due to AEG for their multiple Love Letter announcements at Origins -- they know a good game when they publish one!)

The Mighty Fine shirts are already available for purchase! We hope to see Funko toys before the end of 2014. The Munchkin comic book and Munchkin Smash Up will likely launch in 2015.

Don't think this ends our Munchkin announcements for the year -- wait until you see what we're going to be talking about at Gen Con!
