After Hours: The Intercontinental Union of Disgusting Characters
🕑 Added 2023-03-07 20:36:22 +0000 UTCThe Intercontinental Union of Disgusting Characters is a series of stories about AD&D characters aware of the rules of AD&D. It's a comedic take on metagaming, minmaxing, and role playing that still resonates today. They were written from 1986 to 2000 by Roger M. Wilcox and you can still read them from his home page today.
Baz, Max, and I read through the first stories to find out what metagaming was like back in the day.

The commonly accepted etymology seems to be that ones who were most often doing it were younger gamers (tweens and teens), so munchkin was used to describe them since munchkin was already being used to describe those people at the table. Remembering my first games, that definitely scans.
