The Curious Countdown: Number 10 – It's About Time!
As I was pondering ways to craft interesting posts that let us talk about our stuff, I realized that the Hidden Masters have been around, hidden-mastering, for a loooooong time. So I devised a challenge: Can I count backwards starting from 10, and write 10 Daily Illuminator posts about Steve Jackson Games products that each incorporate that day's number in its name? Oh, and make sure that each day talks about a different product line? And, ideally, ensure that the item is in some fashion "in print" so you can possibly pick it up without too much trouble? I'm honestly not certain I can do it, but that's never stopped me before, so let's go . . . starting with number 10!
As someone who participated in a high-school fundraiser involving the Rocky Horror Picture Show (which 10,000% couldn't be done nowadays), I love Munchkin 10 – Time Warp. It's a great addition to the Munchkin line, with heaps of historical hilarity to add to your game. If you're looking for a great holiday gift for the gamer in your life, a copy of Time Warp – and the core set or deluxe edition, if needed – proves there's no time like the present. (See what I did there?)
Okay! One down; nine to go. I've already name-dropped quite possibly our most iconic product line; by my self-imposed rules, I have to try not to use the series again for this countdown. I am doomed.
