Lol I thought the discounts were ads

Remember the first year they did it, and it was a bunch of cute digital content? Feel like it's been coupon book after coupon book these past few years. Pass.

 Also, yes.

That's true....

On the second day of Christmas Hasbro gave to me... Another coupon.  Time to remedy that.  

Christmas Elf (gnome subrace)

 

Long ago, back when the world was young, a group of rock gnomes ventured North in search of a fabled maker of toys, much more powerful than any other.  They found him not, but were a prideful bunch, and could not bear to return to their home empty handed.  As such, they decided to make the unlivable tundra their home, drilling deep into the ground, and adopting a false persona as elves- making others believe they were fearsome drow.  They lived this way for millennia, but grew bored in their endless expanse of white and grey.  So, one gnome came up with an idea.  They'd recreate the creature they sought, and fulfil the fables they had heard.  They worked for dozens of years, experimenting with everything from potions to machines.  Eventually, they settled on a mutated green and red illithid tadpole, infused with the spirit of the many gnomes creativity.  One gnome, the very one who suggested the idea, implanted the tadpole into himself.  Within moments, he was transformed, not into the jolly old creature they wished, but a bloated, terrible being.  The gnomes tried to fight back, but were enslaved by the unholy being.  Now, they are a hivemind, forced to make twisted toys, distorted and deadly things of childplay. 
You have broken away from the hivemind, and into the world.  

Ability Score Increase- Your dexterity increases by 1.  

Adapted to the North- You have resistance to cold damage.  

Twisted Toys- Your chaotic enslaver has taught you how to make deadly weapons disguised as playthings.  You may spend materials worth 1 gold at the end of a long rest to create one of the following.  After 24 hours, the toy ceases to work.  

Wind-Up Warrior- This small toy appears to be a small windup toy, shaped as a tiny animal or human.  When you use a bonus action to wind it up and place it on the ground, it runs in a straight line until it runs into a creature.  When it hits a creature, it makes an attack roll, dealing 1d4 damage if it beats the creature's AC.  

Fireball Candle- This small candle smells faintly of cinnamon.  When lit, it's fuse begins to burn quickly, and the candle explodes at the start of the creature that lit it's next turn, dealing 1d6 damage to any creature within 5ft that fails a Dexterity saving throw.  

Rigged Deck- The edges of this deck of cards are quite sharp.  Shuffling this deck causes a creature to take 1d4 damage, as they get extremely painful papercuts.  

 

 

 

 

 

 Fantastic! I thank you for making this worthless calendar interesting!

"over 20 days of gifts" Larian has 3 days only so far and is way better than this discount parade of bs we won't buy

Tried using ADVENTDDB35 on the Hasbro site and it says that code is invalid despite this site saying it's good through the 31st. What gives? I was going to grab that Xanathar figure since it's literally pictured in the coupon and it doesn't seem to work. 

Kinda like this, a ton of discounts and like 3-4 actual free stuff, they did have free monsters and a printable paper owl bear, so while pretty meh, still better than this year's discount bonanza.

Ah yes, 50% off of products and $70+ shipping, great.

So far this is turning out to be the same garbage as last year

Sometimes I wonder why I bother subscribing, because all it gets me is WotC asking for more money lol

At least last year we got some free monsters

I was as vocal about my disappointment in this years Advent(ure) Calendar as the rest of y'all, but I think that, in light of the recent lay-off announcements, maybe we can just give them a break with this one...?

What I mean is, we KNOW the rest of this is pretty much going to be awful (i.e. more and more Discounts, trying to get us to spend even more money this holiday season). We KNOW that the free dice and adventures they're supposedly giving us are stuff that can already be claimed, for free, from months ago.

I'm just saying, given what has happened to the hard-working staff who love this game as much as we do (both the ones who are now gone and the ones who remain but have lost some of their amazing colleagues), as a result of corporate greed and Executive Office entitlement, maybe it's time that we just let this thread (and Advent Calendar) rest in peace...

No freebies

They were still a lot of discounts but there were some free printable crafts.

Good lord this is awful. If you are looking for a company who knows how to do this right, go check out the Kobold Press ADVENTure Calendar. It is not something every day, but the deals that they offer are solid, and six of the days are completely free and you can use them in your game immediately!
