My mom asked me to make a dnd one shot for my family to play on Christmas (only my dad has played before but not in a very long time and he played 3.5) so i decided on a Christmas themed adventure which involves Santa and his elves, except Santa is a hobgoblin and his "elves" are goblins. the adventure will take place in phandalin and Santa and the goblins are planning a Christmas "surprise" for the small peaceful town. my family are going to go and try to find out what said surprise is. When they arrive at santas "workshop" they find out one of the goblins has been murdered and the entire workshop is hellbent on finding out whodunit. so basically its a Christmas murder mystery set in phandalin in which you solve the murder of a goblin. I also plan to throw in an imp and a madcap (from DIA). i will post the results of this adventure in the new year i can guarantee it will be very entertaining.

Sounds like a blast... Definitely an opportunity for a, “what’s in the box” moment.
