Santa's Soldiers Presents: A Very Krampus Christmas
Publisher: Deep7

I found this adventure aid a little disappointing. I was looking for an aid that would help me throw Krampus into an existing campaign as a Christmas aside. What I found was a wealth of background information for people who have no idea who Krampus is, which it seems to me is not who would be interested in the product. That background information is readily available on the Internet. The rest of the material, which related to ideas how to bring Krampus into a campaign and statistical information on Krampus and his minions (which is the part I thought I was going to be excited about), turned out to be bound with iron shackles to the game system of the creators of the product, and just to read through it assumed and demanded intimate familiarity with that system. Also the tone was a little silly in places, which to me is not a deal-breaker, but combined with the product's other weaknesses turned me off to the supplement. I suspect this tone is characteristic of their whole game system, which I found jarring--and this opinion should be consdered pretty definitive coming from a player of such romps as Toon and Bunnies & Burrows! For a truly entertaining and engaging read on Krampus, I'd instead refer gamers (or anyone else) to Brom's eponymous novel Krampus.

"...bound with iron shackles..." we see what you did there. :) As stated in the product description, A Very Krampus Christmas is a free supplement for the Santa's Soldiers RPG, so it logically follows that the presentation of the character and stats would support the Santa's Soldiers setting and system. We're sorry it didn't work for your needs, but then again, it was never intended to be a system-agnostic game aid.

This simple one-page chart is extremely easy to use, well thought out, and even attractively designed. I love to add interest to items players discover, and having a chart like this handy makes doing so a cakewalk. I often try to design tables of this ilk for myself, only to spend hours tweaking them until I find them adequately random. Having this ready-made tool in hand saves me time and makes inventory descriptions of items more definitive. I rate the product an A+ and will definitely be on the lookout for other products from Rusted Iron Games.
