Operation: Santa

Tom Turkey’s Terror Tunnel

Event Description:
Commander John Blitzen and his team of Reindeer comman-does are the best of the best. Having defeated the white-tailed turncoat Rudolph and having saved Santa from both the evil G.N.O.M.E and the hideous Easter Bunny, the ragged team arrives home… only to find Santa’s daughter kidnapped! Tom Turkey and his tryptophan thugs have taken her to the Tunnel of Terror, it’s up to you to stop him!

Santa’s Notes:
The biggest change this year is obviously the redesigned character sheet. I was inspired by (read: ripped-off) Brock Samson’s License to Kill from the Venture Bros. I was going to cut them with rounded corners, but gave up after Vixen’s sheet turned out like it did.

This was also the year that I added the item deck, having people draw cards rather than having me roll for it. Also worth noting, Dasher’s character sheet isn’t here, because we ran with seven. We ended up re-using the sheet when we needed to add a last-minute ninth player in 2012. The extra character illustration is from regular player Jeremy, who couldn’t make it that year but still kindly sketched us one of his excellent reindeer illustrations.
