We were a bit dubious about the whole idea at first. All this jollity and whimsy, we weren't certain about that at all. We are more your grumpy little gothic Goblins with our ghost stories and heartwarming tales of post-apocalyptic dystopia, but, we have to admit, we are converts. It's all quite fun really. So we set about creating a few Christmas themed (sort of) adventures. Here is one of them for you! Play it as a one-off or, if you are so inclined, try integrating it into an ongoing campaign.
And Another Thing! (By M R McGowan)
When the air traffic control Elf Dewey Landum began picking up a strange airborne signal he started tracking it and trying to contact the suspect aircraft but to no avail. The 'Aircraft' fell to earth in the Arctic desolation. Assuming that there were people in need of his help, Santa rounded up several of his more adventurous Elves and they set out in the Reindeer sleigh to see if they could help.
What they found though wasn't a downed aircraft - at least not one of Earthly origin, anyway. The UFO had buried itself in the ice and was terribly twisted and damaged - much like the bodies of what were presumably aliens that they found inside.
That was far from the end of it, however. Without realising it, somehow the expedition seems to have brought some*THING* back to Santa's Hideout with them and it can mimic other life forms. Whatever it is, it isn't friendly and before long the sense of isolation and paranoia has the Elves, Reindeer and Krumpus all suspicious of one another. No one is quite sure who is actually an alien monster capable of growing stomach mouths or spidery legs and scuttling off at any moment. Oh, and Santa is acting a bit oddly.
This charming little Christmas adventure is ideal for use in a cold, isolated environment with a village full of Elves and a jolly supernatural present giver. Use your own setting or try our 'Santa's Hideout' map (GM's Map #71) which was the inspiration for the scenario idea.
