We played an Xmas special last night in which the team took down a particularly vile Santa Claus, The North Pole proved to be a horrible place full of horrible people. If none of your hunters receive Xmas presents this year feel free to blame my group! 😛

My online group has just realized they are fighting against evil Mary Poppins. That sort of stuff really is fun.
Last year, our intrepid heroes investigated a small college town that had been completely snowed in, but where the inhabitants had been digging tunnels and boulevards. Basically, they were living in a snow-globe. Everyone was happy and smiling, the smell of fir and baking cookies were everywhere, and carolers roamed the streets, singing prettily.
Of course, something had to be wrong, so the team investigated, and found that black tendrils issued from everybody, drifting towards the local fraternity.
After crashing the 1950’s style Christmas party, the team kicked in the door to the attic where a groupd of red-robed cultists were kneeling in a circle around a dim figure.
Doing what roleplayers always do, the team attacked and slaughtered the cultists, disrupting the ritual, and thus suddenly releasing the three weeks worth of negative emotions right back into the local population, creating havoc and ruining Christmas for all (survivors of the outbreak of violence).
By the way, that’s what happens when you ask your players for a line of poetry, some lyrics or a quote to use as the episode name. Usually it works well, but this time all they gave me was “Everything is awesome”.
haha Tore Vange, they should have realised suggesting that would just be a challenge!
oh, it’s always a challenge. We’ve had episode titles such as “Danny’s girl” (hormonal teen sells his soul to be immensely attractive to the opposite sex), “Tropical Zombies” (Name of a cocktail, Island resort overrun by zombies while our intrepid, tea-sipping heroes were there on holiday), “Calling Elvis” where a group of Elvis impersonators accidentally summoned The King at an impersonators convention in Bristol).
Yeah, I love that method. Saves me a lot of brainstorming.
