Christmas is almost upon us again! I realize that there are only going to be a few groups playing over the holiday as many people take off to visit family, but I’m a nice guy and don’t mind catering to a handful of people. So, in the interest of keeping your players on their toes this season, I have put together several demented Christmas plot ideas.

As you may have noticed from some of my other posts – especially my Halloween post – that I am a fan of horror. This interest extends into role-playing for me and I am always looking for new and unique story ideas for my campaigns. I just found a unintentionally great site for helping develop horror plot hooks.
I recently purchased the 4th edition version of “The Manual of the Planes”. Playing in bizarre areas has always appealed to me (I really liked Planescape from AD&D 2nd Edition) and I wanted to see what changes were made since 3rd Edition.
There are many ways to annoy, aggravate, frustrate, and generally irk your players. Unfortunately, many of these are easy to do without realizing it. If you want to keep your campaign going – and your players happy – there are equally easy ways to avoid these pitfalls.
With the increasing role of computers in table-top role-playing, I am surprised that the use of sound effects are not more common. This would be an easy atmosphere builder to add to a campaign that could greatly increase the immersion into the story.
