I've slowly been putting together the pieces to run a game based very loosely on J. R. R. Tolkien's, "The Father Christmas Letters." This book is a compilation of letters Tolkien wrote to his children at Christmastime from 1920 to 1939. Several of these letters describe the problems Father Christmas, his friend Polar Bear, and the Elven workers had in dealing with raiding Goblins. The Goblins would try to steal the toys from the North Pole. In my version Father Christmas will get help from some 1960's TV Christmas Special characters also!
I'm using 28mm figures and the rules will be G.A.S.L.I.G.H.T. For the Goblins I'm going to use Games Workshop Goblins. For Father Christmas' side I'm using figures from several sources. I'm not finished painting figures yet, but I thought I'd show you what I have so far. I'm going to be running the scenario New Years Eve, so I'm frantically painting the rest.

Don't forget the great white Polar Bear!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is a teacher and currently using the Father Christmas Letters as a source for English Lessons.
It's been some time since I read these letters, but seeing the book last week, I enjoyed re-reading them (even if it was some rather than all).
Good luck with the project.
