Much love for this module. Like especially that they have the opt-out text directions for pre-existing groups. I aint't run it yet but I may be looking to tweak a few of the dangling threads since I game with pretty crafty cusses. I may even take a chance to run this at my workplace with some noobs who will fall for evry pitfall. My intuition is that the novelty of breaking up gametime as real time for the 1 hour lunches strikes me as a good reward system for thinking or acting quick and paying off the reveals to entertain me.
The setting without spoilers seems right in line with the season. There are clever nods to holiday traditions and treats peppered in the text. The scenarios lend themselves to Robert Beevan style misadventure.
Just barely got into DCC. Been gaming since my grade school days. I tend to keep a loose grip on adventure details and re-purpose the encounters and features I like for use elsewhere and discard what I don't like in a canned adventure. Looking forward to running this with a laid-back or new group mostly. But I think this is a good fit for me and others who have very little interest sizing up encumberance tables and tracking our blood-sugar levels.
Destined to be a classic; I suspect regularly it'll be reprinted regularly until they top the the scratch off character sheet novelty with some new implementation of the mosaic strip-tease charcter sheets sold seperately.
