About the adventure
"Those big folk have always been jealous of our celebrations--so much so that they've gone and stole our supplies! Can't have no Yule without Yule ale!" Yuletide draws near for the Hobbits in Hobbiton, but not all is well. A special order of supplies from Buckland haven't arrived yet, and 1 Yule is only a day away! Someone, or a group of someones, will have to go see what happened and hopefully retrieve that essential cart. --- This is a cozy holiday adventure using The One Ring 2ed Starter Set rules. Choose between six pre-generated, lore-friendly Hobbit characters or make your own and prepare for a lovely game of whimsy and comfort. New players to the system, new players to TTRPGs in general, and new fans of Tolkien are all very welcome. Seasoned players/fans should also find this adventure quite charming as well.
This oneshot will take place several times during the month of December. Each session is the same oneshot, so players should only plan to attend one date.

Gameplay details
For a light-hearted, cozy oneshot like this, we'll jump right into the game once we establish which character everyone will be playing. Before or during game, please feel free to private message me any themes, triggers, questions or anything else you may want me to know to avoid or take into consideration. Know that if you PM me during the game, I might not see it immediately, but I will do my best to respond quickly. I also always employ the Open Door policy and will regularly check in for breaks.

How will character creation work
I have six pregenerated hobbit characters for players to choose from. These character sheets are already waiting in Foundry VTT for you. It would be helpful for players to take a look the day before the game session, if possible, to choose a character. Regardless, we will spend the first ten minutes or so of the game session to choose characters. Each of the hobbits provided are already characters that exist in the lore of Middle Earth. They include: Drogo Baggins, Esmeralda Took, Lobelia Bracegirdle, Paladin Took II, Primula Brandybuck, and Rorimac Brandybuck. If any of these characters excite you, feel free to message me with your preference. If you have no idea who these characters are, that is okay too! Do not feel pressured to play these characters "correctly"; make them your own.
