Munchkin Shakespeare<\/a> is DONE!<\/p>\n

At least my part.<\/p>\n

Final tally: about 250 cards, bookmarks, covers, etc.<\/p>\n

It was, without question, the largest single Munchkin project I\u2019ve ever tackled at one sitting.<\/p>\n

Well, several sittings, really. Over about a two-month period.<\/p>\n

The final sitting was the best, though. In London at the time, I wandered around Southwark \u2013 Shake-dawg\u2019s stomping grounds \u2013 and chose the bar at Shakespeare\u2019s Globe to finish the last few drawings.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

Munchkin Shakespeare was a hugely fun project \u2013 but it was also hugely huge<\/em>, thanks to you monsters and all the stretch-goals you hit.<\/p>\n

Would more time have been helpful? Yes. But then, that\u2019s always the case. Point being, Munchkin Shakespeare<\/em> is going to look fantastic. Most of that is due to the Steve Jackson Games Art Department, which always manages to make my silly little scribblings look great. Those folks are amazing.<\/p>\n

Also? The cards are hilarious. I mean, truly madcap<\/em>, green-eyed<\/em>, bloodstained<\/em> tremendous. Thanks to Steve Jackson, Andrew Hackard, and many contributors who threw in crazy ideas during a crowdsourcing braintrust info-dump that launched this too, too silly project.<\/p>\n

Here are some first-looks at a few of the cards (Insert usual \u201cArt Not Final\u201d etc. things I\u2019m supposed to say here)<\/em>!<\/p>\n
