Munchkin Booty Dice?

I was browsing the dice selection on the Q-Workshop site when I noticed something labelled "Munchkin Booty Dice." The link to them is as follows: http://www.miniaturemarket.com/inc/s...288751/1055736

Are these official?

Re: Munchkin Booty Dice?

No they are not, and Q no longer makes them.

Hi! You can search for these on the forums, they have been identified as unofficial.. Or at least that is the last I heard :)

I didn't think so, but I had considered that maybe I missed their release somehow. (I've been following Munchkin dice releases very closely.)

They may no longer make them, but they're still advertising that they have a few for sale.

Re: Munchkin Booty Dice?

We were supposed to receive all copies of those dice in North America last year when we terminated Q-Workshop's license. Obviously, that didn't happen.

Those dice are NOT official and NOT legal for use in tournament play. They're bootlegs that shouldn't be available for sale at all, and we'll be in touch with the store to let them know that.

Re: Munchkin Booty Dice?

The Dice of Protection are also not official and not legal for tournament play.

I see them on Ebay occasionally.

Wasn't there one more set that Q Workshops made that is the same way?

Which were already referred to at the top of the post. . .

I think that's about it, though.

Heres the text from the munchkin News in reference to these items...

October 6, 2010: These "Munchkin" Labeled Dice Are Not Official!
We have learned that the Polish company Q-Workshop, which produced the "Wicked Munchkin Die" and the "Munchkin Cthulhu Dice of Doom" under license, has shipped at least four other dice sets with the Munchkin trademark and images, and with rules advertised as for use with Munchkin. None of these four sets went through our approvals process, let alone GOT approval. They sent me a photo of one prototype die in December of last year, and I commented . . . and apparently they asked one of our European MIBs for rules suggestions. That seems to have been it. But now we have found out that they made them and SHIPPED them.

We don't even know for sure when the unapproved sets were shipped. Until yesterday (Tuesday), we only had a copy of ONE of those sets . . . because an American MIB showed it to us when we visited Con*Stellation earlier this month! We are now, as you might have guessed, discussing the problem with Q-Workshop, and yesterday we got copies of three other sets.

All Q-Workshop dice except the Wicked Munchkin Die and the Munchkin Cthulhu Dice of Doom are unofficial and not usable in Munchkin tournament play in any language, regardless of what the package says. We have been told that some of the unapproved dice (and their rules) have gotten into official tournaments at conventions. That's over, it's done with, the gods of Munchkin have blown a raspberry, and the results of those events remain official.

At this time, the Wicked Munchkin Die and the Munchkin Cthulhu Dice of Doom remain official and tournament-legal, unless the rules of a specific tournament forbid them.

The 4 unlicensed products names are:
Munchkin Dice of Protection, Munchkin Booty d6, Booty d10 and Munchkin Booty Dice Sets

Re: Munchkin Booty Dice?

The Q-Workshop dice that ARE approved and ARE legal are the various flavors of the Wicked Munchkin Die and the Munchkin Cthulhu Dice of Doom.
