I'm planning to run a one-off game, over several sessions, with some family over the holidays. Only some of the participants are familiar with D&D. Parameters are:
What are your ideas? Help me brainstorm this.
- I'm going to hand them all pregens, each with a brief backstory.
- The game will start with the trope of being prisoners who must escape, both to let us jump straight into the story and to pre-answer the "why are we going on this adventure?" question.
- It's going to take place in the far north, in a world of ice and snow, probably mostly in a "dungeon".
- It will have some kind of a Christmas (possibly in the generic sense) theme. Maybe they have to rescue Santa Claus, or "Nicklaus", or whatever. Yes, I know that's a groan-eliciting cliché for most of us, and has been since about 1981, but it will be new for this audience.
- They won't be first level, but also not very high level. Somewhere 3-6 range.
- One or two of the players will be on the young side, so it can't be too dark/violent.
