Campaign Chronicles

Christmas will be upon us soon so I thought it would be nice to write another holiday themed post. With that in mind, I present to you the Gift of the Mogwai....

Another rumor claims that they are devilish spirits (as a side note, "Mogwai" is Cantonese for "devil") given bodies who enjoy wreaking havoc and spreading death and destruction.

The Grinch is a 53-year old Half-Ogre Bugbear that lives in the mountains just North of the town of Whoville.

The following are two versions of everyone's favorite red-nosed reindeer.  The first is more of a D&D "encounter-style" version while the second is much closer to the Bass and Rankin stop animation version portrayed in the holiday specials.  I hope you enjoy them and Happy Holidays!
