The Night Krampus Stole Christmas

Creating your character

Character Creation All players start at Level 5 — no exceptions, no excuses, just pure mid-tier mayhem wrapped in tinsel. You’ve got 1,000 gp to spend on gear, gifts, and whatever questionable “magical toys” you can afford. No rarity limits — if it fits the budget, it’s on the nice (or naughty) list. Allowed Content: All official 2014 rulebooks and supplements are open! Mix your favorite builds and subclasses — be the barbarian who hates carols, the bard who only knows Christmas songs, or the warlock who sold their soul for eggnog. If you don’t have a character ready, no worries! There will be pre-made heroes available — wrapped, labeled, and ready to drop straight into the blizzard.

Preparing for the session

Before we dive into our DND session, let's get all set up for a good time. Grab your favorite snacks and drinks so you can stay in the game without interruptions. We'll be using Discord and Roll20 for our gaming fun, so here's what you'll need: - Discord: You'll need a microphone for sure, but don't worry, using a webcam is totally optional. It's all about what you're comfortable with. - Roll20: Make sure you have a trusty laptop or PC handy because Roll20 doesn't play nice with phones or tablets. Having everything ready in advance ensures we can jump right into the adventure without any hiccups.

What GM Mellodie brings to the table

🎅✨ What I’ll Bring to the Table (of Holiday Mayhem) 🎲 As your Game Master for this delightfully merry yet mildly terrifying adventure, I’ll be decking the digital halls to make sure everything is running smoother than Santa’s sleigh after too much eggnog. Here’s what you can expect under your virtual Christmas tree: 🎲 Dice & Shenanigans: Use your own dice if you like the clatter of chaos — or let the magic bots roll for you. I’ve got automated dice systems to keep things fast, fair, and full of dramatic nat-20 celebrations. 🧝 Character Art & Holiday Glow-Ups: Need help finding art for your festive hero or grumpy elf? I’ll help you get the perfect portrait — from jolly barbarians in ugly sweaters to mysterious warlocks holding cocoa instead of curses. 🗺️ Maps, Puzzles & Christmas Chaos: You’ll unwrap snowy maps, secret puzzles, and holiday-themed traps (some involving gingerbread, others… less wholesome). Every piece designed to keep you laughing and panicking in equal measure. 👹 Monsters, Elves & Naughty Lists: Expect Krampus, cursed toys, sugar-crazed faeries, and maybe one or two possessed snowmen. I’ll handle all the encounters, NPCs, and unexpected “carol-of-doom” moments. 🎵 Music, Magic & Merriment: From twinkling bells to dramatic orchestral sleigh chases, I’ll have music and ambience ready to set the tone — jolly, spooky, and everything in between. While I can’t send you a real stocking full of loot afterward, I promise a rich, cinematic, and hilariously festive virtual experience — the kind of session you’ll still be laughing about when the fruitcake finally goes stale. So grab your cocoa, sharpen your candy canes, and prepare for a night where Christmas cheer meets Christmas fear! 🎄💀

How GM Mellodie creates a safe table

- Expectations & Boundaries – Open dialogue is essential. We'll discuss content restrictions, themes, and potential triggers to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone. I prioritize player comfort and use tools like X, N, and O cards (digital or physical) to maintain clear communication. - Rules & Mechanics – We’ll go over any house rules or homebrew content specific to the campaign. - Player Safety & Inclusivity – My goal is to foster a respectful and inclusive space for players of all backgrounds, experience levels, and ages. - Ongoing Support & Communication Our table is a safe and welcoming space, and I’m committed to making sure every player feels comfortable. We’ll have post-session aftercare to check in, address concerns, and provide support as needed.
