D&D: Curl Up With A Holiday Special
‘Tis the season for holiday specials, and this year even livestreams have gotten in on the act. Check out the holiday specials full of D&Dtide cheer.
Tired of the same old holiday specials? Elves wanting to be dentists. Christmas princes and time traveling knights who bring an old fashioned charm to big city life? Old hat. Heartwarming tales of misers becoming merrymakers? Bah, humbug!
This year, why not turn to something new? Start a tradition for once instead of blindly following what everyone’s always done for years. The irony here kids that we’re about to suggest watching D&D, the most commercially successful and oldest rpg– which is as traditional as it gets.
But like tastefully gaudy sweaters–he kind you say you 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, D&D is there no matter thr genre. 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 last is happening later today and thr others are gathered in full, right here.
