How do you put Christmas into your fantasy campaign? This one-shot (with an option to play it over several sessions) asserts the importance of the holiday setting being Christmas since it\u2019s the linchpin of Dickens&#8217; effort. However, that puts pressure on a world that is fantasy but not a fantasy setting that includes Christianity. In the adventure, the suggestion is it\u2019s either a local holiday or this adventure is a dream sequence. Something for the GM to mull over when choosing this product. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Among the DM tips contained within the book is a remainder, this story is best not spoiled, even to your players.
