Default Any Christopher Moore fans out there.

I'm a huge Christopher Moore fan and would love to see a Munchkin version of his world. There's probably enough for a base set but one or two boosters would be nice.

I hope this doesn't come too close to card recommendations.

Off the top of my head you've got:
Chet the Huge Shaved Vampire Cat.
Abby Normal the the former wannabe vampire goth girl (rawr! it's a thing).
Death Merchants.
Zombies who reveal your secrets and won't eat stoned brains.
Raziel the stupidest angel.
The Emperor (possibly as a side kick)
The demon Catch.
Stoners with enough weed and explosives.
Action Nerds.
The Sword Cane of Clubbing (the sword is rusted in).
and a bunch of others.

I don't know if Steve knows the Moore novels. I definitely don't. Guess I should check some of them out.

They're pretty good, especially if you're fine with some religious satire (as in Lamb and The Stupidest Angel). Nothin' like an angel who wants to be Spider-Man...

Personally, I prefer Tom Holt's work for my dose of Weird Modern Fantasy; it's very reminiscent of Douglas Adams's Hitchhiker's Guide series in style. Jasper Fforde's work is also neatly bizarre, with the "Thursday Next" and "Nursery Crimes" books especially rewarding a reader who knows his classic literature. Fforde's also got a post-apocalyptic novel out, Shades of Grey (no relation to a certain trilogy), that assigns social status through the range of colors one can see.

Of course, there's a thread for literary recommendations over in Geek Culture that's better suited to further such discussion... ;)

I'd recommend starting with A Dirty Job, Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal, or if you are up for a trilogy Bloodsucking Fiends and it's sequels.

That's exactly the order I recommend people begin.

Neil Gaiman and American Gods is my go-to choice for religiodiculousness.

PLUS, IT'S JUST SHEAR AWESOMENESS WHENEVER DEATH HAS SOMETHING HE'D LIKE TO TALK ABOUT.

It's A Dirty Job that got me thinking about it. I've been trying to come up with a "beta" character modifier (I don't want to list them fearing i will come too close to a card recomendation.). There are lots of possibilities with the male but I can't think of any that are as good/bad for females.

I'm also torn between which I would recommend first between A Dirty Job and Lamb.
