Christmas Victoriana
Picture this: snow-draped streets lit by the flicker of gas lamps, bustling holiday markets brimming with trinkets and treats, and characters driven by hope, redemption, and maybe a touch of mischief. This sourcebook delivers a lighthearted but thoughtful approach to Christmas stories set in the Victorian era, where every choice shapes the story and every character matters.
Christmas Space Opera
Let’s talk about the holidays in roleplaying: they usually miss the mark. You’ve seen it, overloaded with pun-filled reindeer knights, Santa clones, and monsters that wear their thematic gimmicks on their sleeves. Sure, it’s entertaining for about five minutes, but where’s the heart? That’s what I set out to fix with Christmas Space Opera. This isn’t about slapping some tinsel on generic tropes and calling it festive. It’s about capturing the essence of the season, joy, generosity, connection, and reimagining it in a sprawling, interstellar setting that’s as dazzling as it is heartfelt.
Christmas Romance
Christmas Romance is your chance to infuse your roleplaying with the warmth, magic, and bittersweet charm of the holiday season, without the usual barrage of groan-worthy puns or groggy-eyed monsters lurking under tinsel. Let’s be honest, most attempts to merge Christmas and roleplaying are as flat as last year’s fruitcake. That’s where this book steps in, offering a story-first, character-forward approach to the season that doesn’t feel like a gimmick.
Christmas Pirates
Picture this: a crew of pirates with hearts (possibly) of gold, navigating the high seas in search of treasure that’s more than silver and gold, it’s about what truly matters during the season. Maybe it's helping a struggling coastal village in exchange for warm cider and their undying gratitude. Or stealing from a greedy merchant lord whose vaults overflow while his workers shiver through the cold. Or, perhaps, it's solving the mystery of why the northern lights have vanished and returning their glow to the skies. Every story you tell will be drenched in festive cheer, with enough swashbuckling drama to keep things lively.
Christmas Mystery
Tired of roleplaying Christmas stories that feel like re-gifted jokes and tinsel-covered tropes? I get it. Too many holiday-themed attempts miss the mark, leaning on monsters dressed in Santa hats or groan-worthy puns. That’s why I created Christmas Mystery. It’s a sourcebook that captures the essence of the holiday season, minus the overly on-the-nose shtick, and wraps it in the cozy, suspenseful charm of a great mystery.
Christmas Espionage
Every page is a toolkit designed to help you craft stories that embrace the cultural and emotional weight of Christmas while wrapping it in the shadowy intrigue of espionage. Think covert operations under glittering lights, coded messages tucked in holiday cards, and tense negotiations over mulled wine. It’s about the quiet drama of loyalty, trust, and betrayal set against the backdrop of twinkling trees and snow-dusted streets.
Occult Christmas
This isn't a book about Santa or silent nights. It's about finding the occult roots hidden beneath the holly and ivy, the alchemical metaphors wrapped in the spirit of giving, and the strange synchronicities that make the season feel both magical and otherworldly. Imagine secret rituals performed in candlelit parlors on the longest night of the year or unearthing an ancient grimoire tucked beneath the tinsel at a Victorian-themed Christmas market. Now imagine weaving these moments into a narrative where your characters must navigate the fine line between festive joy and the dangerous allure of the unknown.
Christmas Crime
Step into a world where the spirit of the season clashes with the grit of crime fiction. Christmas Crime takes the tired holiday tropes you’ve seen before, shakes off the tinsel, and drops them into a hard-boiled story that captures the true essence of secular Christmas. This isn’t about fighting holiday-themed monsters or groaning over another pun-laden plot. It’s a toolkit for roleplaying stories where decisions, not dice, determine the outcome, and where the stakes are as real as they are festive.
Christmas Horror
Christmas Horror invites you to step into the shadowed glow of the holiday season, where the warm twinkle of lights disguises a creeping chill. This isn’t your standard holiday fare packed with cheesy jokes or re-skinned monsters. No, this is something deeper, a secular and cultural exploration of Christmas through the lens of fear and unease, stripped of religious overtones for reasons that should go without saying. What you’ll find here is a toolkit designed to unearth the raw spirit of the season, capturing its joy, its sorrow, and its uncanny potential to unsettle.
This sourcebook puts the focus squarely on storytelling and character. It’s not about slashing through enemies or hunting for treasure under a holiday tree; it’s about choices that matter. The setting offers familiar elements, frost-covered streets, the buzz of crowded markets, the quiet solitude of snow-covered woods, but twists them into something that lingers in your mind long after the session ends. Every decision carries weight, and every consequence ripples through the narrative, building tension that stays just out of sight, waiting to pounce.
Preparing for What's Next
While I’d love nothing more than a stable footing, a predictable way to plan and execute projects, the reality is that constant change is the new normal. The world shifts, the bills keep showing up, and adaptability is the only plan that works. So, I’m focusing on setting things up to roll with the punches, no matter what 2025 decides to do.
Christmas Academia
Tired of roleplaying Christmas content that feels like a bargain bin of monsters, puns, and half-baked seasonal gags? Me too. That’s why I wrote Christmas Academia, a sourcebook designed to give your roleplaying sessions a thoughtful, layered take on the holiday season. Instead of leaning on lazy tropes or overplayed gimmicks, this book captures the true spirit of Christmas through secular and cultural celebrations, wrapped in the brooding, melancholic tone of contemporary dark academia. No bright-eyed Santas or overstuffed elves here, this is the season as you've always wanted to explore it: reflective, complex, and deeply human.
Christmas Fantasy
Let’s face it, most attempts to bring Christmas into roleplaying either lean too hard into cheesy monster encounters or drown in pun-filled gags that aren’t nearly as charming as the creators think. If you've had enough of that and want something that truly captures the spirit of Christmas without getting bogged down in the usual tropes, then Christmas Fantasy might just be what you’ve been waiting for.
This book isn’t about Santa or reindeer, or any other religious iconography, for that matter (I’m sure we all can guess why). Instead, it's focused on the heart and soul of secular and cultural celebrations that surround the holiday. Forget the overdone clichés. What Christmas Fantasy brings to the table is a fresh take on the season that’s still unmistakably festive. It's about that special vibe: the glow of the season, the warmth of shared traditions, and the simple joy of coming together. And I’m doing it without hitting you over the head with garish decorations or tiresome jokes.
