anywho, im working 10 hour shifts now, so i might actually be able to get the game some time this year....

edit: also my main reason for posting:

is it a lot like munchkin?

I've had quite alot of fun with Elan by trading loot back to people, knowing they will be about to trade it stragiht back to me. I get Elan loot for assisting, then I fight a monster (usually a rubbish one) that I can't beat without assistance and give that loot to soemone who will be fighting a big monster next turn, then get it back on their turn, thus I get monsters and loot. You don't need to trade loot back all the time, just when you need a boost so mostly early game and then loot starts coming in more than going out so you end up +loot and +shticks.

Advantage of this is you help everyone else out all the time doing things this way so people are less likely to Screw you.

At least in my experiences.

That's mine too. Play Elan as the helper who makes everyone's battles easier with Bard Song, and you do fine. Not least because it's cheap for them to give you Loot. Tends to make the game generally more amicable, but doesn't work if there are less than four players.
