D&D: Catch The Next Batch Of Holiday Specials
The first of the D&D Holiday Specials has already arrived. More lurk in the shadows, ready to bedeck your timeline with D&Dtide cheer.
The Holiday season is in full swing, which means cozy winter logos are upon us all. From Warhammer to D&D and beyond, there are festive wintry gamer logos–and if you love holiday themed events, then Christmas is sort of the big one, on account of the decades of feel good movies and over-commercialization that worms its way into even the Grinchiest of hearts.
There is no escaping it, wherever you go. No matter what your belief is, there’s a generalizes way of saying the time of Winter Renewal is upon us, and for some reason that means gaudy sweaters.
But like, tastefully gaudy sweaters. The kind you would wear “ironically” but really it’s completely unironic, but there’s just enough of a layer of doubt to deflect the fact that you actually really do love Christmas. Sure, on the surface you’re enjoying it. And just underneath that you’re rolling your eyes at everything. But underneath that you’re a kid, gleefully cheering.
So it seems only fitting that D&D would tap into that. After all, if you can have high school comedy D&D, pirate D&D, noir D&D and beyond, surely you can have Christmas D&D, which is exactly what Wizards of the Coast has launched, with four different D&D holiday specials. The first has already happened, but you can catch it on YouTube below.
