RAISE SUCH A CLATTER
Beginner-friendly | Level: 5 | DM: Alexis Budd
The beginner-friendly table is great for those who are new to playing D&D, though seasoned TTRPG vets are also welcome!
SYNOPSIS: It’s one week before Christmas, and Santa is missing. This time, however, the Elves are ready. Since the last time this Nightmare was visited upon Christmas an elite team of seemingly normal Christmas elves have been training in secret, fostering holiday alliances, and preparing for the day when the treacherous Pumpkin King would inevitably strike again. Finally, the mittens can come off and you and the rest of the eXtrajudicial Military Agents of Santa (X.M.A.S.) can fulfill your purpose and bring Old Jack to justice. However, secrets may lay deep beneath the snow, no matter how crisp and even it appears…
SOLITARY AS AN OYSTER
Intermediate | Level: 5 | DM: Danny Pagett
The intermediate table is intended for players who have some familiarity with the game, but may still be a bit fuzzy on mechanics
SYNOPSIS: CAROL duty. It’s like jury duty but a bit more rare. The Coalition of Antagonist Rehabilitation by Overviewing Lives has chosen you to give your local miser a holiday facelift, and will be providing the means to do so by wielding his past, present, and future against his stone cold heart. The future of the holidays in your villa depends on it. Don’t worry, the Coalition has done this many times. Surely nothing will go wrong.
DUDE, WHERE'S MY SLEIGH?
Intermediate | Level: 5 | DM: Davis Saunders
The intermediate table is intended for players who have some familiarity with the game, but may still be a bit fuzzy on mechanics
SYNOPSIS: It's the Day of the Great Christmas Parade and Santa is missing! He was seen shouting "Christmas is Dead!" before running off into the night. No one has seen him since and if Santa isn't back on his float by the end of the night he won't be able to complete the ceremony that summons the "Spirit of Christmas" to the land. Apparently, this isn't Santa's first existential crisis and when suffering from the "Holiday Blues" he sticks to the same routine - an all-night cookie and milk bender. You need to find Santa, and bring him back to the parade in time to perform the Christmas Ritual and if that's not enough, I think his sleigh was double parked….
CHRISTMAS BOSS RUSH
Advanced | Level: 11 | DM: Gillian Reed
The advanced table is intended for more experienced D&D 5e players who have a handle on the game mechanics and want to do big combos and cool spells.
SYNOPSIS: Christmas Eve is here and the big guy in red is just about to make his rounds. But there’s just one problem: his sleigh has been stolen by an evil league of Christmas villains! With time ticking away, Santa has consulted his nice list to assemble a crack team to infiltrate the league’s tower, fight their way to the top, and save Christmas. But will their Christmas spirit be strong enough to defeat the likes of Ebeneezer Scrooge, The Grinch, The Mouse King, and many more holiday humbugs, or will the nice list finish last?
