Actually this character is playing the Dungeon looter type, this character is not entirely unrealistic in a World War II setting. World War II provides lots of opportunity to get rich, and there are secret doors and hidden passage ways, and some superior officers would want privates to keep on searching for loot so long as they get their share. Perhaps this character is not so much an Munchkin after all. |

What you're describing is a Munchkin player in a Munchkin GM's world.

Re: Whats a Munchkin?
I always thought a munchkin was someone who played an RPG to 'beat' the other players and GM (hehehe) so he could laugh and say 'My character is better than yours is!' at least in his own mind, if not out loud.

In any case, if a character with greedy decides to go try and loot, well, that's roleplaying. It's munchkinism if the player expects this process to go smoothly, or objects to the fact that much of the time he won't actually get anything, or expects to get any special benefits out of his looting. For example, in GURPS I would have a simple way of determining if he actually found useful loot: if he pays the points for wealth, he's found enough loot to give him a level of wealth. |
