When In Combat Question...

I use a small set of D10 I found to keep track of my combat strength. Then I use the Large D10 for my true level (thank you MIB Paul for the Big D10). I want to get a few Kill-O-Meters for my group.

i really can't speak highly enough of the Kill-o-Meter for streamlining the game...I gave one to each of the members of my gaming group for X-Mas.

Dude, I love the Lego card boot. That is awesome!

@ Signboy - Thank you man, it works really well...

@ Snarky - We are both in Washington State and only about 2-1/2 hours apart... Someday We should get our groups together and have a big @$$ game.

How do you trade? Point at cards and wink? ;-)

The rules go out of their way to say that you can show people your hand, there's no way for us to stop you, so I don't see how it could be against the rules to say, "Hey, I can put in +10 if someone else can throw in another +5 to stop him from winning." In fact, I can't begin to count the number of times I've heard almost exactly that. . .

Obviously talking during trades is kosher, but trades themselves are restricted by the rules.

Yeah it's obvious now, I've just never really played that way. On the other hand I tend to play games with people that get pretty sensitive about people "picking on" each other (which is probably why we don't play Munchkin at all much anymore).

Same here...especially when it's crunch time.

We used to use 10 siders also until the Kill-O-Meters.

We always just ask "anybody got anything?" That pretty much takes care of it we think...lol....

Damn Skippy!!! I talk so much trash when trying to avoid getting stuff played against me... and openly plotting the demised the level 8-9 guyz... Talking trash is a major part of my groups fun... and lord help the low level thief who's stealing everything... L0L

I think there was a discussion on this at the yahoo guild. I use a d10 for the levels and a d20 for the combat power. I haven't had to use anything else, even for epic munchkin. When your combat power goes over 20, you just turn it back, that way you can go up to 40. With a bunch of cards on the table, its pretty easy to see that a "2" is really a 22. Best of all, my d10s and d20s all match so my wife gets her "pretty red set."
