For some different Christmas action this Holiday Season, you need to get yourself A Christmas Box from NUELOW Games! It's got comics and battle scenarios featuring NUELOW stars Jill Trent & Daisy Smythe, the Black Cat, and Judy of the Jungle; it's got Santa and his daughter Sugar Plum, Jesus Christ, Martians, Bill Clinton, and many more, all battling with the Spirit of Christmas in their hearts; it's got a collection of horror-themed short stories; and the core rulebook for ROLF!: The Rollplaying Game of Big Dumb Fighters....
Basically, it's everything you need to have a different sort of gaming experience with the family and loved ones this Christmas, and to otherwise entertain yourself while you are waiting up for Santa to bring the presents. (You can even ask Santa if he wants to play himself and join you for a ROLF! battle or two!)
Are you excited yet? Here at NUELOW Games, we're counting the minutes until we find out whether Santa thinks we've been naughty or nice! (This year, L.L. Hundal went to hand-deliver our wish lists, since we think there was probably a mistake last year.)
Meanwhile, here's a Christmas song to get you into the spirit and/or pass some of those very, VERY long minutes!
Enjoy some Christmas music and an early short story by Robert E. Howard (written and published when he was still in high school). It's a Very Western Christmas today at NUELOW Games!
GOLDEN HOPE CHRISTMAS
By Robert E. Howard
Chapter 1
Red Ghallinan was a gunman. Not a trade to be proud of,
perhaps, but Red was proud of it. Proud of his skill with a gun, proud of the
notches on the long blue barrel of his heavy .45s. Red was a wiry, medium-sized
man with a cruel, thin lipped mouth and close-set, shifty eyes. He was
bow-legged from much riding, and, with his slouching walk and hard face he was,
indeed, an unprepossessing figure. Red’s mind and soul were as warped as his
exterior. His insister reputation caused men to strive to avoid offending him
but at the same tome to cut him off from the fellowship of people. No man, good
or bad, cares to chum with a killer. Even the outlaws hated him and feared him
too much to admit him to their gang, so he was a lone wolf. But a lone wolf may
sometimes be more feared than the whole pack.
Let us not blame Red too much. He was born and reared in an
environment of evil. His father and his father’s father had been rustlers and
gun-fighters. Until he was a grown man, Red knew nothing but crime as a
legitimate way of making a living and by the time he learned that a man may
earn a sufficient livelihood and still remain within the law he was too set in
his ways to change. So it was not altogether his fault that he was a
gunfighter. Rather, it was the fault of those unscrupulous politicians and
mine-owners who hired him to kill their enemies. For that was the way Red
lived. He was a born gun-fighter. The killer instinct burned strongly in
him—the heritage of Cain. He had never seen the man who surpassed him or even
equalled him in the speed of the draw or in swift, straight shooting. These
qualities together with the cold nerve and reckless bravery that goes with red
hair, made him much in demand with rich men who had enemies. So he did a large
business. But the forefront of the law began to come into Idaho and Red
saw with hate the first sign of that organization which had driven him out of
Texas a few years before—the vigilantes. Red’s jobs became fewer and fewer for
he feared to kill unless he could make it appear self-defense. At last it reached a point where Red was faced with the
alternative of moving on or going to work. So he rode over to miner’s cabin and
announced his intention of buying the miner’s claim. The miner, after one
skittish glance at Red’s guns, sold his claim for fifty dollars, signed the
deed and left the country precipitately. Red worked the claim for a few days and then quit in
disgust. He had not gotten one ounce of gold dust. This was due, partly to his
distaste for work, partly to his ignorance of placer mining and mostly to the
poorness of the claim. He was standing in the front door of the saloon of the
mining town, when the stage-coach drove in and a passenger alit. He was a well built, frank-appearing young fellow and Red
hated him instinctively. Hated him for his cleanliness, for his open, honest,
pleasant face, because he was everything that Red was not. The newcomer was very friendly and very soon the whole town
knew his antecedents. His name was Hal Sharon, a tenderfoot from the east, who
had come to Idaho with the hopes of striking a bonanza and going home wealthy.
Of course there was a girl in the case, though Hal said little on that point.
He had a few hundred dollars and wanted to buy a good claim. At this Red took a
new interest in the young man. Red bought drinks and lauded his claim. Sharon proved
singularly trustful. He did not ask to see the claim but took Red’s word for
it. A trustfulness that would have touched a less hardened man than Red. One or two men, angered at the deliberate swindle, tried to
warn Hal but a cold glance from Red caused them to change their minds. Hal
bought Red’s claim for five hundred dollars. He toiled unceasingly all fall and early winter, barely
making enough to keep him in food and clothes, while Red lived in the little
town and sneered at his uncomplaining efforts. As winter deepened, everywhere the miners stopped work and
came to town to live until the snow should have melted and the ground thawed
out in the spring. Only Hal Sharon stayed at his claim, working on in the cold
and snow, spurred on by the thought of riches—and a girl.
--
It was a little over three weeks until Christmas when, one
cold night Red Ghallinan sat by the stove in the saloon and listened to the
blizzard outside. He though to Sharon, doubtless shivering in his cabin up on
the slopes, and he sneered. He listened idly to the talk of the miners and
cow-punchers who were discussing the coming festivals, a dance and so on. Christmas meant nothing to Red. Though the one bright spot I
his life had been one Christmas years ago when Red was a ragged waif, shivering
on the snow covered streets of Kansas City. He had passed a great church and, attracted by the warmth,
had entered timidly. The people had sung, “Hark, the Herald Angels Sing!” and
when the congregation exited, an old, white haired woman had seen the boy
and had taken him home and fed him and clothed him. Red had lived in her home
as one of the family until spring, but when the wild geese began to fly north
and the trees began to bud, the wanderlust got into the boy’s blood and he ran
away and came back to his native Texas prairies. But that was years ago and Red
never thought of it now. The door flew open and a furred and muffled figure strode
in. It was Sharon—his hands shoved deep in his coat pockets. Instantly Red was on his feet, hand twisting just above a
gun. But Hal took no notice of him. He pushed his way to the bar. “Boys,” he said: “I named my claim the Golden Hope, and it
was a true name! Boys, I’ve struck it rich!” And he threw a double handful of nuggets and gold-dust on
the bar.
--
Christmas Eve Red stood in the door of an eating house and
watched Sharon coming down the slope, whistling merrily. He had a right to be
merry. He was already worth twelve thousand dollars and had not exhausted his
claim by half. Red watched with hate in his eyes. Ever since the night that
Sharon had thrown his first gold on the bar, his hatred of the man had grown.
Hal’s fortune seemed a personal injury to Red. Had he not worked like a slave
on that claim without getting a pound of gold? And here this stranger had come
and gotten rich off the same claim! Thousands to him, a measly five hundred to
Red. To Red’s warped mind this assumed monstrous proportions—an outrage. He
hated Sharon as he had never hated a man before. And since with him to hate was
to kill, he determined to kill Hal Sharon. With a curse he reached for a gun
when a thought stayed his hand. The Vigilantes! They would get him sure if he
killed Sharon openly. A cunning light came to his eyes and he turned and strode
away toward the unpretentious boarding house where he stayed. Hal Sharon walked into a saloon. “Seen Ghallinan lately?” he asked. The bartender shook his head. Hal tossed a bulging buck-sack on the bar, and said: “Give that to him when you see him. It’s got about a
thousand dollars worth of gold-dust in it.” The bartender gasped. “What! You giving Red a thousand bucks
after he tried to swindle you? Yes, it is safe here. Ain’t a galoot in camp
touch anything belonging to a gun-fighter. But say—“ “Well,” answered Hal, “I don’t think he got enough for his
claim; he practically gave it to me. And anyway, “ he laughed over his
shoulder, “It’s Christmas!”
Chapter 2
Morning in the mountains. The highest peaks touched with a
delicate pink. The stars paling as the darkness grew grey. Light on the peaks,
shadow still in the valleys, as if the paint brush of the Master had but passed
lightly over the land, coloring openly the highest places, the places nearest
to Him. Now the light-legions began to invade the valleys, driving before them
the darkness; the light on the peaks grew stronger, the snow beginning to cast
back the light. But as yet no sun. The king had sent his courtiers before him
but he himself had not appeared. In a certain valley, smoke curled from the chimney of a rude
log cabin. High on the hillside, a man gave a grunt of satisfaction. The man
lay in a hollow, from which he had scraped the drifted snow. Ever since the
first hint of dawn, he had lain there, watching the cabin. A heavy rifle lay
beneath his arm. Down in the valley, the cabin door swung wide and a man
stepped out. The watcher on the hill saw that it was the man he had come to
kill.
Hal Sharon threw his arms wide and laughed aloud in the
sheer joy of living. Up on the hill, Red Ghallinan watched the man over the sights
of a Sharpe .50 rifle. For the first time he noticed what a magnificent figure
the young man was. Tall, strong, handsome, with the glow of health on his
cheek. For some reason Red was not getting the enjoyment he thought
he would. He shook his shoulders impatiently. His finger tightened on the
trigger—suddenly Hal broke into song; the words floated clearly to Red. “Hark, the Herald Angels Sing!” Where had he heard that song before? Suddenly a mist floated
across Red Ghallinan’s eyes; the rifle slipped unnoticed from his hands, He
drew his hand across his eyes and looked toward the east. There, alone hung one
great star and as he looked, over the shoulder of a great mountain came the
great sun. “Gawd!” gulped Red, why—it is Christmas!”

The Members of Pyschostick wish you a happy Christmas!
And speaking of Christmas Cheer, here's something that's offered for you enjoyment under the Open Game license.
Bobble Hat of Christmas Good Will (for d20 System games)
This unique artifact radiates a faint magic aura from December 1 to January 5. During this time, it causes the wearer to radiate cheerful Christmas energy--but there is a price to pay should he or she abuse the status as an incarnation of the Christmas Spirit. d20 System Game Mechanics: Grants the wearer a +2 bonus to all Charisma-based skill checks. In addition, the wearer gains a +1 supernatural modifier to AC/DR and a 1 point per die of damage dealt by an attack, because those that would harm the character are hesitant to do so. If the wearer uses Bluff or Diplomacy skills to defraud or cause trouble for another person, all benefits of the Bobble Hat of Christmas Good Will are lost and the character comes under a curse that results in a -4 penalty to all Charisma-based skill checks. The only way the curse can be removed is through the power of a god, or by the character giving a Christmas gift to his most hated enemy, as well as giving away the Bobble Hat of Christmas Good Will to a more worthy owner.
Every December. the Spirit of Christmas roams the land, touching bottles, cartons, and jugs of eggnog, imbuing them with magic of the Holiday Season beyond that which the beverage already possesses. This article describes this special eggnog in terms of the d20 System and how you can bring it to your game.
EGGNOG OF POWER FOR THE d20 SYSTEM!
Whenever a character comes into possession of a container full of eggnog during the Holiday Season, the GM rolls 1d100. On a result of 100, the eggnog has been touched by the Spirit of Christmas and is just super-tasty.
But! If the eggnog has been enhanced by the Spirit of Christmas, the GM rolls 1d6 to discover what magic powers are granted those who drink a cup of it. Upon rolling, the GM consults the following list:
1. Eggnog of Cheer that grants +2 bonus to morale checks and +2 bonus to Charisma-based skill checks.
2. Eggnog of Might that grants +1 to melee and unarmed attack rolls and damage, and a +2 bonus to all Strength-based skill checks.
3. Eggnog of Fortitude that grants a +2 bonus to all Fortitude saves and Constitution-based skill checks.
4. Eggnog of Christmas Harmony that makes everyone within a 60-foot roll a Will save (DC30) or lose all desire to fight, but instead join together and sing Christmas songs. If one person is attacked (say by someone who has made a successful Will save), then all those under the influence of Christmas Cheer will turn upon the attacker.
5. Eggnog of Christmas Partying that grants a +4 bonus to all Perform (Dance) and Perform (Sing) skill checks, as well as the ability to point out that someone is standing underneath a sprig of mistletoe without being slapped or kicked in the groin.
6. Eggnog of Generosity that fills consumers with the desire to bring happiness and security to others in this Christmas season. They can do anything from donate to charities to taking the fight to the mobbed-up slumlords.
A typical container of eggnog contains 8 cups and a character must drink at least one cup to benefit from the Christmas magic. The affect lasts for 24 hours and cannot be dispelled by anything short of the power of a god.
Once a container of Eggnog of Power has been opened, it spoils within 1d10 days. If a character drinks spoiled eggnog, he or she must roll a Fortitude Save (DC18) or become very ill, suffering -4 to all attack rolls and skill checks for 24 hours. If the save is successful, the penalty is only -2.

And here's some multicultural Christmas music that'll get almost everyone into a proper mood!
Christmas time is near, and you're going to find lots of Christmas weirdness here... because it's our favorite time of year!
We're kicking off a month-long Christmas celebration here at NUELOW Games with this great little adaptation of one of Steve Miller's favorite Christmas tunes!
Continuing with the Christmas celebration. The text in this post is presented under the Open Game License and may be reproduced accordingly. Copyright 2015 by Steve Miller. CHRISTMAS PUDDING
Made with mysterious ingredients and with highly secretive methods, these miraculous food items take several hours to prepare and must be kept in ceramic or tin containers for 1d6+6 months before consumed by those they were prepared for--friends, family, or members of an adventuring party. Each Christmas Pudding contains 12 portions, and a character who eats a portion gains a +1 bonus to morale checks and Fortitude saves for 8 hours.
The recipe for Christmas Puddings can only be obtained through dangerous quests (or from grandmothers). They can be purchased in many village stores around holiday times for 2d6gp each. They can be carried and stored like standard adventuring rations once obtained--but they are really a dish best served at feasts and holidays.
The Twelve Days of Christmas continue with another magic item for d20 System games (such as Pathfinder or d20 Modern). The text in this post is released under the Open Game License. Copyright 2015 by Steve Miller
JINGLE BELLS
This item is a pair of small bells joined together on a bright red leather strap radiates enchantment magic, and when shaken, they emit a soft, harmonious ringing sound.
As a standard action, the user can shake the bells. All creatures, save the user, within 20 feet must roll Will saves (DC15) or be filled with a sense of good cheer and fellowship toward each other. Hostilities instantly cease and the creatures will join together in singing songs and enjoying each other's company. If anyone attacks a creature under the enchantment of the jingle bells, all affected creatures turn on the attacker.
On the Fifth Day of Christmas, NUELOW Games brings to you... the Little Drummer Boy's Drum. All text in this post is presented under the Open Game License, and it may be reproduced in accordance with it. Copyright 2015 by Steve Miller.
The Little Drummer Boy's Drum (aka The Drum of Bethlehem)
Art by William Morris Hunt
This item appears to all inspection to be a well-used and extremely well-made tabor-style snare drum. It does not appear to be magical, but attempts to break or destroy it fail. The word "Bethlehem" is painted onto the drum's head in Aramaic script. Powers: When a character with 5 or more ranks in Perform (drim) plays it, he or she gains a +10 bonus to any related skill checks. If the performance is done using theLittle Drummer Boy's Drumsticks, the bonus increases to +15. Additionally, the performer can designate one target within 60 feet to be subjected to an affect similar to a sleep spell. The target receives a Will save equal to the character's Perform (drum) skill check. If the saving throw fails, the target falls into a magical slumber that lasts a number of hours equal to the character's total Perform (drum) skill. (The first power--the bonus to the Peform skill--is evident to both the user and those witnessing the performance, The second power is only evident if an identify spell, or similar means, is used to examine the drum while it is being played with the Little Drummer Boy's Drumsticks. Drawback: None. Method of Destruction: The Little Drummer Boy's Drum loses all enchantment if its head is pierced with one of theLittle Drummer Boy's Drumsticks. It can then be destroyed without problem. Special Note: Despite its name, this drum is not the one that legend holds was present in the manger where Jesus Christ spent his first few nights on Earth. It was created in 1612 by Maltorn MacRae, a Scottish wizard who had come into possession of theLittle Drummer Boy's Drumsticks and desperately wanted a drum worthy of those precious items. If someone should damage the Drum, it can be repaired using MacRae's original enchantments... if his book describing them can be located.

It's the fourth day of Christmas, and here's another tidbit for use in your d20 System games. As usual, all text in this post is released under the Open Game License.
The Little Drummer Boy's Drumsticks (aka the Drumsticks of Bethlehem)
These appear to be a set of well-used drumsticks carved from oak wood. When they are checked for magical aura (though the use of spells, devices, or abilities), they radiate faint abjuration magic or a divine nature. Powers: Reported to have been touched by the Christ Child and his mother days after his brith, these drumsticks are a single artifact in two parts. When separated, they have no apparent magical function. Each stick radiates magic, is seemingly indestructible, and can used as improvised piercing weapon that deals 1d2 points of damage. While the item can be considered an enchanted weapon at +1 level, it does not grant bonuses to hit or damage.
When the sticks are carried by the same person, he or she gains a +1 bonus to all saving throws. He or she gains a +6 bonus to all Perform (drums) skill checks when using the Drumsticks of Bethlehem. Once per day, the character may designate a target and cast a sleep spell upon it while playing the drums using the drumsticks. Drawbacks: Whenever carrying the Drumsticks of Bethlehem, the character must roll a Will save (DC18) whenever idle, or near a cute baby. If the save fails, he or she is gripped by an urge to start using the drumsticks on any available surface. If there is a snare drum available, the save is against DC24). Destruction: The Drumsticks of Bethlehem can only be destroyed by being tossed into the fires of Hell itself.
On the third day of Christmas, we have another feat for you! The text is released under the Open Game License and may be reproduced in accordance with its terms. Copyright 2015 by Steve Miller.
SELFLESS
You are ready to support those in need. Benefit: Give up one of your character's actions. Designate another player. The character under that player's control gains a +4 bonus to the next d20 roll made. You may use this ability as many times each round as you have actions. Special: When this feat is chosen, gain 2 character points that must be spent on skills immediately.
One the second day of Christmas, NUELOW brings to you... a feat that lets characters emulate Santa's ability to tell the Naughty from the Nice!
OGL d20 SYSTEM FEAT: NAUGHTY OR NICE
You can tell someone's good or evil by just looking at them.
Prerequisite: Intelligence 12, Wisdom 12
Benefit: As a standard action, you may look at a living person or being and immediately know if they have good or evil intentions toward you, your allies, or innocent beings. (This does not necessarily reflect their alignment--although it is revealed if the d20 System variant includes the alignment mechanic--but rather what the moral ramifications of their immediately past or near-future actions will be. You may use this ability a number of times each day equal to your Wisdom bonus.
Targets must have Intelligence and Wisdom scores of at least 4 for the ability of this feat to be effective. Spells and abilities that prevent scrying or other divination magic or spell-like and supernatural powers also impede this feat. The target appears "nice" when studied.
Special: This feat is considered a "minor power feat" for the purposes to acquiring superpower talents.
Happy Christmas from NUELOW Games everyone! Here's a feat to go with the season that's suitable for any d20 System game. The following text is presented under the Open Game License. Copyright 2015 by Steve Miller.
NEW FEAT: TIDINGS OF COMFORT AND JOY
You spread joy and cheer. Prerequisite: Wisdom 12, Charisma 14 Benefit: Take a full round action to make a Concentration check (DC8). For the duration of the next encounter, all other PCs and allied NPCs present when you make the check gain a +2 bonus to all saving throws and morale checks. Special: The bonus is increased to +4 for present PCs and NPCs who join together and sing a Christmas carol (or other campaign-setting appropriate song of a similar nature) while the skill check is being made. Skills checks of Perform (sing) (DC4) are needed to stay on key.
