[Asgard issue 8] Call for Submissions!

An interesting question: How about migrating species?

Would some Halfling or Wild Elf tribes move to warmer pastures come winter? What would they celebrate?

The nomadic races probably will have a Thanksgiving holiday and a Purification day


Because being nomadic is a hard life they will want to give thanks for the things that they have.

You may run a google on the subject of Nomadic Peoples holidays or something.
 

The Return to Who-Keep!

Every Who Down in Who-Keep had just leveled up...
But the Grinch, (a prestige class) at his level was stuck!
The Grinch needed Who-Blood! For a ritual, vile!
Now, please don't ask why. (It made Monte Cook smile!)

It could be that his helmet of brilliance was loose,
And his Giant Strength Girdle had chafed his caboose.
But I think it most likely, although he was rich,
Was that over the years the Grinch had turned Lich!

But, Whatever the reason, His helm or caboooze,
He stood there, Pre-Solstice, just hating the Whos,
Staring down from his cave his evil did seep,
And it dripped, and it dropped, down below on Who-Keep.

He had watched every Who as they grew through the years,
As their singing, and thumping, disrupted his ears.
"And" he thought to himself, "This will be the last Solstice,"
"That a single Who voice will rise up to assault us!"

Then he growled, boney fingers all nervously drumming,
"I MUST stop, if I can, the Solstice from coming!"
For, Tomorrow, he knew as the Whos gathered bleating,
They would flock to the grove for their annual meeting.

So he went to his cavern to sharpen his axe,
And awake his familiar, the Dire-Hound Max,
From their burial place he animated Un-Who,
(Get the next Asgard to read chapter two...)
 





Horrible thought:

Your stereotypical Santa is a jolly, well-built fellow with a full beard and very long life who enjoys making things. Sounds kinda like a dwarf (dwarves are gruff; Santa gives out coal. It's close enough).

Santa has elves to help him.

Isn't that going to grate after a while? A smelly old dwarf ordering elves around? What happens when the elves finally get sick of it and go home to Lothlorien?

Does this sound like a good setup for a Christmas adventure? (Only the PCs can save Christmas! Or Hogmas or whatever. Either by making toys (in perilous fashion, I imagine) or getting the helpers back.) If so... anyone up to the task, or should I give it a crack on my lonesome? (A'course I'm busy with me art and all, and scupper me timbers if it isn't Sep19.)

Na, Santa has been killed.
