Hi! Due to your tags I just found you randomly in the probablybadrpgideas ”Christmas is coming roll initiative” post. And I’m reaally curious now, can you tell more about the oneshot? And also really cool blog you got here otherwose too
thanks so much for the question and interest in my blog!
I'll be running a christmas-themed oneshot in a version of "The Black Hack" known as "The Mecha Hack". It's a rules-light system that's quick to pickup and easy to play. The Mecha Hack specifically has rule sets for mech-suit combat.
The bare bones plot pitch is that my players will be sent on a top-secret mission in the middle of a blizzard to prevent an unknown aircraft from becoming a threat on Christmas eve. After they reach a specific set of coordinates to intercept the bogey it'll be revealed when the clock strikes midnight that their foe is none other than Santa Claus himself. Santa has a transforming sleigh that turns into his own personal Mech, and eight drone-like robot companions that are easily mistaken for flying deer, except instead of legs they have guns :) Anyway, Santa shows up, they fight, and before the night is over he mysteriously vanishes and leaves presents for the squad, and everyone else on the planet.
