Christmas time

[Zankafen]

Anybody have good ideas for a Christmas themed adventure or items?

While you may have to redefine good, I have always wanted to turn a particular player's PC (who always hoarded magic items if he could) into a tree, with all his magical items changed into decorations hung up on it.

Some (semi useful) ideas:
Santa gets roaring drunk on all the alcohol plied on him by the parents of kids and the PC's have to continue the work?
Some predator is hunting the reindeer and the PCs must protect them while Santa is inside?
The McGuffin that the PCs need to find/retreive is a present?
Find Santa? or a false Santa.
Stop Santa from entering a particular place (for Santa's safety or the kids)?

Either

The misfit toys summon a "Claws" deamon so they can get back at Santa for making them wrong...

Or

The "Asian" Elves, recently fired from the workshop for quality control problems, build a lead golem , or animate a swarm of rejected "Dora the explorer" dolls....

A prophecy predicts that a savior of man will arrive.

Angels appear and tell the PC to head to some town to greet him.

A bright star appears...

A deity is born...

Or something like that....

Wasn't there an old third-party published adventure back in the days of 1st or 2nd Edition that dealt with Santa Claus? Does any one remember that?

There was a 2nd edition one shot punning on the 12 Days of Christmas and rescuing a Santa figure. I don't know the name or where it came from, I just remember playing it.

I would probably do something that was joked about in one of my OT threads where a vampire dresses up as Santa to get invited into children's homes. Either that or do a Chickverse game. Xmas has lots of options for that sort of wackyness.

Due to the Law of Conversation of Presents, if Santa gives you something he had to take it from someone else. Fortunately, there are enough teddy bears, trains and bikes to go around so no-one ever really notices this. Until someone's list has an item that only one of the PC's possess. So, Santa drops off the Ring of Sustenance and takes the paladins +3 Flaming Keen Dragon-Bane Longsword.

Robot Santa from Futurama still cracks me up. Someone must do something like this for their cyberpunk game. The idea of this demented full-conversion cyborg who thinks he's Santa, tooling around town and punching holes in 'bad people' with chunks of coal...

Run a standard D&D adventure, but make each PC either a small toy (size S or smaller construct) or an anthropomorphic animal (again, size S or smaller). Hilarity ensues.

I've been thinking about this for a week or two. I finally have settled on an "Island of Misfit Toys" set in my Eberron campaign. I'm thinking it's off the Frostfell, but have more ideas about the challenges than the storyline right now.

Nope. I do remember Necromancer Games Feast of the Gobbler Thanksgiving adventure.
