This explains the story of Munchkins and Dragons from the perspective of the players and outside world. For the in-universe story, go here. But, this all takes place before then, so for those of you wanting to read both sides of the story in timeline order, begin here. For those of you who want all the stats, spells, etc. of all the characters, look here.

DM:Welcome, everyone. Now that we have five of you gathered up.. I can now welcome you all.. To this D&D campaign!

Bob:Oh yeah!! D&D!! Finally! I can use this character sheet!

Chuck:Wait, what edition of D&D were we playing again?

DM:3.5e, of course! After all, as we all know..

Everyone else in the group:...Fourth edition ruined the game.

DM:Yep, there you go! Just remember that, and you'll know why we always use 3.5e!

Bob:What about 5e? It's clearly better than that the junk we call 4e.

DM:Maybe when I get more experienced in it.

Bob:So, I'll be playing as a Dwarven fighter. So, I'll be rolling my stats! *rolls 4d6 six times, dropping the lowest each time* 14, 11, 16, 11, 14, 10.. Well, I'll put the 10 in Charisma, Intelligence and Wisdom will be 11, put a 14 in Dexterity and Constitution, and the 16 for Strength! Strength is AWESOME! Now.. Dwarves have -2 Charisma and +2 Constitution, so applying that, and.. there! And call my character Boladin!!

Chuck:I'll be a human cleric. And I already filled out my sheet, here you go, DM. I'm Clara, by the way.

Deric:And I'm going to be the thief! Halfing Rouge, ready to go! 8, 9, 18, 16, 13, 16! Drogo's my name, and treasure is my game!

Gianna:An 18? Pretty good! You have some high stats! You must be lucky! And what's a nice D&D campaign without a good, playful bard? I'll be playing as the bard, and a gnome! You can call me.. Gimble! That's a funny name, isn't it? Gnomes usually have many names, but I'll be using the funniest!

Alex:Now for my class! I'll be the Wizard! And, based on my rolls, I have a 16 in Constitution, I'll put my 18 into Intellegence, the best stat for a wizard, Dexterity gets my 14, 12 is my Wisdom, 10 is my Charisma.. And 7 is my strength. My character's name is Avia.

Bob:What? Why'd you make Strength your lowest stat?

Alex:Hey, you said you'd be the fighter! You're doing the fighting, right? Why do I need strength when you're going to be doing the fighting? I do have spells, but that doesn't depend on Strength! And, everyone.. Here's my list of skills. Perhaps if we SHARED them with each other, we'd be able to optimize them all from each other, and have a wide arrange of them!

Chuck:We're JUST getting together in the game. We wouldn't know each other's skills! Therefore, there is no reason why we should be showing them to each other-Else it is metagaming!

DM:..He has a point.

Deric:Alex!! You can't know EVERYTHING!! Training yourself in EVERY kind of knowledge? No fair!

Alex:Putting a skill point in all 10 types of knolwedge isn't against the rules-I have the skill points for this. Also, it's not knowing everything-I could still fail the Knolwedge check, you know. It's just now I actually have a chance.

DM:...*sigh* I'll allow it. Only because you got an 18 in Intelligence, and because you only put one in each of them besides Arcana.

Deric:Wow, you're such a munchkin, Alex. You know, I'm roleplaying as the rouge! And you know how rouges would want the MOST money, right? If you keep this up, and start gaining much more gold than everyone else, my character might just decide to steal from you..

Alex:Well he can try!! You can bet it won't work!

Deric:Oh, it'll be on.

DM:Well, now that you all created your characters, it's time for the campaign to begin! Let us enter the world, of Dungeons and Dragons!
