Gamers loved Munchkin Pathfinder, so Steve Jackson Games and Paizo Inc. are taking it to the stars! Paizo recently launched the Starfinder Roleplaying Game on August 17th at GenCon. The Core Rulebook sold out in just 6 hours, selling more copies in the four days of the convention than in the history of Paizo’s attendance. And now, Starfinder is the basis for a new Munchkin game.

Munchkin Starfinder launches on Kickstarter on October 23. The 10-day project will fund both the 168-card core game and an expansion.

Munchkin Starfinder will include new classes and races taken from the Starfinder Roleplaying Game. The game has more classes and races than any Munchkin set yet. Players have over a dozen new roles to choose from.

Howard Tayler, known for his webcomic Schlock Mercenary and his popular podcast Writing Excuses, illustrated both the core game and expansion.

Munchkin Pathfinder debuted in 2013 and has become one of the most popular Munchkin games, spawning several expansions and accessories, including Munchkin Pathfinder: TrulyGobnoxious and Munchkin Pathfinder 2 – Guns and Razzes.

The Pathfinder Roleplaying Game is one of the world’s best-selling fantasy roleplaying games, in the true spirit of the classic dungeon crawl. The Starfinder Roleplaying Game  is set in the same universe, centuries later – so while Pathfinder monsters are compatible with a Starfinder game, Starfinder features a lot more lasers, as well as artificial intelligence and space travel.

Gamers interested in the project can watch the Steve Jackson Games Kickstarter page for the project’s launch!
