Revisit the Original

In December of 2012, with the artistic renderings of Bygrinstow and the hand-drawn maps of your truly, the first (unofficial) holiday adventure for DCC became available. In 2013, it was republished with a follow-up adventure by Purple Duck Games on December 16th. A week later, Michael Curtis' masterpiece, The Old Gods Return, hit DriveThruRPG as the first of many Goodman Games DCC holiday modules.

The link for the original version of The Thing in the Chimney is long dead, but this holiday season, why not revisit the original? This link to the original version of the adventure will be active through the month of December. If you find you like it, why not throw Purple Duck a few pennies for the sequel? 

In fact, the sequel was designed to allow judges to create a campaign out of yuletide occurrences, with the Cinder Claws being a patron who sends PCs on quests to rectify events which would otherwise disrupt the Christmas season.

At the waning of every year, as the sun grows closer to the horizon, and spends less time in the sky, there comes a time of terrible cold and deep snow to the lands of the north.   The world waits with hushed breath for this, the longest night of the year, to be over.  Soon, the sun will begin to climb higher each day, and the days grow longer.  Although long stretches of cold weather are yet to come, this is the night in which winter’s back is broken.  After tonight, the world turns slowly back to warmth and light. 

But that is after tonight.

Good gaming and Happy Holidays!
