WHY ARE PEOPLE RIOTING DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON?
As Christmas approaches, the news is suddenly filled with reports of mobs of holiday shoppers going on rampages in stores and shopping malls throughout Christendom. There isn't looting going on--just violent, destructive rampages that destroy all Christmas decorations and businesses, and even claim dozens of lives. The rioters detained by authorities offer no insight into the cause, claiming that one moment they were shopping, the next the just filled with blind rage and an urge to destroy everything Christmas related.
Roll 1d6 against the following tables for some random adventure elements you can create a scenario around.
What is the Cause?
1. Roll twice on the table, re-rolling any additional results of "1". Both
indicated causes are in effect, as is an unholy union between
two forces that hate Christmas!
2. The Society for Men Acquiring Power, Prestige, and Earthly
Domination (SLAPPED) is testing their network of mind-control
satellites. They hope to trigger worldwide chaos on Christmas Eve.
3. Extreme environmentalists are pumping a gas that drives people
temporarily insane, because they want to cause Christmas to be
outlawed so no firs will be cut down just to be put indoors.
4. Evil cultists are summoning demons that temporarily drive people
insane with the goal of ruining Christmas.
5. The secret magical society Mages Against Revolting Holiday Cheer
(MARCH) has put cursed magic items in the Christmas decorations
in stores and malls around the world. They trigger them with a ritual
at their secret Sanctum Sanctorum, and crowds go insane until the
item is smashed.
6. A mad scientist has infected Mariah Cary's "All I Want for Christmas
is You" with extra-dimensional sub-sonics that drive humans who hear
it into animalistic fury. He hates that song and wants it gone.
Here's the theme song for this adventure!
