This past weekend, The Krampus ran loose in the Tribute Universe in an attempt to stop the holiday from happening. Luckily, a band of brave heroes joined together to stop the vile villain and save Santa Claus in the process. 
Planned since October, we had 12 players planned to play. But, due to an ice storm that hit the area, there were only 8 players that could attend. The scenario started as Holiday (who was last seen during the Seasons of Crime event) attempted to steal the latest video game craze from a department store. However, during the robbery, the city's heroes (along with a new hero to the area) stepped in to take him down. Then the sky went dark, plunging the entire world into eternal night. 
As  the heroes attempted to find out what happened, an elf fell from the sky in a burst of light and smelled of gingerbread and peppermint. As he recovered, he explained that The Box of Eternal Night had been opened and that Santa's Workshop had been taken over by The Krampus. 
Gathering together, the team had the elf transport them back, where they battled The Krampus and his minions. Finally, after a long battle, they managed to defeat the holiday demon and free Santa Claus (who then banished The Krampus from his workshop). Will The Krampus return this year? Next year? That's up to you! Grab the latest AoV: Solo and bring him into your game today!

This past Sunday, I had the distinct pleasure of running a holiday themed M&M3e game with my friends, Walt Robillard (of Hazard Studios), Dale Robbins (of DWR Game Studio) and my wife/editor, CD. As with all of my superhero games, this one took place in the Tribute Universe and centered around a series of crimes happening on Black Friday. Faced with the villainy off Snowclone, H.A.D.E.S., a duo from our upcoming AoV: Duo #1, and Holiday himself, the trio managed to defeat the bad guys and save the most important shopping day of the season. 
To run the game, I tried out the Roll20 site for the first time and I have to say, it won't be the last time I use it. The interface is very adaptable and it was nice to have the tools readily available to run a game. If you haven't tried it yet, give it a shot.
