Roleplaying characters with supernatural powers or super-human advantages. A person who plays tabletop RPGs and seeks to make the most powerful character possible, often in the form of assigning 'useless' stats such as 'charisma' very low values.
Any advantage this player they can get, they are likely to take. It is not uncommon for such players to ask to start with rare items their character could or would not have obtained. Powergamers are different from twinks in that a powergamer generally seeks to have the most powerful character without regard to the rules, while a twink seeks to manipulate the rules to gain a powerful character. Go away! One who spends a lot of time playing games. One who takes the playing of games very seriously.
One who does well at playing a certain game. B A person who seeks to accomplish everything possible within a videogame - meet all secret goals, get every item, unlock every secret, etc. Another way to put it in words, would be taking shortcuts in the game in a counter-intuitive way. They are obsessed with xp efficiency over all other things, including their own bladder status. Typical behaviors are inordinate amounts of time spent playing the game, getting the best equipment at all times for their character, and "farming" areas for the best loot and xp.
A player of a game that seeks to use the system to dominate and frustrate other players. This is typically not a problem when dealing with games that encourage competitive playing, but swiftly becomes a problem when the objective of the game is not to defeat your opponenet, either real or perceived, but to co-operate and socialize with other players.
What is PowerGaming? Dude, Im going to smash the guys Infurenus at top speed and drive away! Some times it's ok, sometimes it's really annoying, sometimes the gm encourages it.
Munchkins want to be more powerful than everything else. Or, more specificly, they want to be more powerful than all the other players. And that is all that they care about. A powergamer might have a ridiculous vampire-supersaiyan-dragon-titan-cyborg-combat-mage but at least there's a chance he might have an intersting name or personality or something. A munchkin will just have a lifeless list of stats and bonuses. They will usually resist any kind of personality or backstory because they just don;t care and they don't want to deal with the complications of human interaction.
They just want to kill people and pump up their stats quicker than the rest of the party. But a lot of the time Munchkin also gets used as an all purpose insult. Much like calling someone a Fuck it doesn't necessariley mean any thing more than that you don;t like that person very much. Matthew Registered User Validated User. I think it's a mistake to think of munchkinism and power gaming as the same. Power gamers want to use to the rules to maximize the effectiveness of their character.
You may presume, when I say this, that I mean 'effectiveness in combat,' but that's not the case. Power Gamers pour over the rules, know them by heart, and use every legal means at their disposal to make sure they extract every ounce of effectiveness out the rules. If the game is combat heavy, effective in combat. If the game is roleplay heavy, effective in roleplay situations.
Power gamers tend to have a highly developed sense of 'fair play. That within certain boundaries that they have come to understand and which are different for each group the GM is going to Play Fair as well. Munchkins want to play Thor. They may or may not be intimately familiar with the rules, they don't care if the GM bends the rules, they just want to be Thor.
They have no interest in playing a nobody i. To munchkins, a good game is one in which Thor is called upon to travel to hell, kill Cerberus, take on the hordes of demons that serve Sutur, and then kill Sutur. The idea that Sutur might kill them doesn't make sense. If Sutur kills them, it's because the GM was being a dick.
What's the point of playing Thor if you can't kill Sutur?
