DISCLAIMER: This game is ridiculous. It's a mega-crossover RPG based on a silly YouTube edit. It's for fun no matter how much gore and nightmare fuel I put in it. Thank you.

Spoiler: Storyline (click to show/hide)

Once Upon a Time...

In a world of no logic, meaning, or sanity, universes merged to celebrate Christmas. A world underwater. A mercenary team. Three adolescents. And pastel ponies.

But in Halloween Town, the Pumpkin King Jack Skellington found himself dissatisfied after his governed holiday was cancelled one too many times. He elected to conquer Christmas, instead. He made a pact with a demon, a monster hellbent on ruling the very energies of the holidays for itself. It was known as The Black Hiver. And though people died, and trials were failed and succeeded left and right, both were eventually defeated.
In universe of logic, meaning, and sanity, it is Christmas time yet again. But something's...wrong. The atmosphere has changed. And soon, the people of four different worlds collide again in a festive wonderland. Someone, somewhere, somewhen, has awakened the Black Hiver. And his corruption and terror are far more serious. Fourteen worlds are colliding. Ten holidays shall be used. Nine other demons roam the Multiverse. This is the apex of the vengeance of the Sadistic Holiday Demon.

And make sure to the watch the original video:

Yeah, I based it off a YTP, sue me.

After checking those both out, I welcome you to my newest attempt at an RPG after The Zodiac Chronicles: The Sadistic Holiday Demon. Basically, to put it abridged, a villain from a story-based YouTube Poop went dark, edgy, and serious, and decided to try again in the actual Multiverse. As you may have gathered, this game is themed around Holidays. There are Ten in total (including Christmas and other Holidays, or at least ones celebrated in America), and while four Universes are unlocked right at the start (with more characters per franchise being unlocked later), there are fourteen in total. One franchise will be unlocked for each holiday saved (save for Thanksgiving because I miscounted, there are two there). If you want a spoiler'd look at which franchises and which holidays are included, here you go:

Spoiler: Holiday-Universe List (click to show/hide)

Sidenote: (L) Indicates a franchise that was featured in the original video. Also, each franchise was randomly selected using Wheel Decide, so if certain franchises don't match up with holidays that make sense for them (like COD: Zombies), that's why out of universe. There will be an explanation in universe, so don't worry too much about it.

Christmas: My Little Pony (L), Star Wars, Team Fortress 2 (L), Harry Potter

New Years: RWBY

Valentine's Day: Doctor Who

Saint Patrick's Day: SMT: Persona

Easter: Payday 2

Mother's Day: Call of Duty: Zombies

Father's Day: Ed, Edd, n' Eddy (L)

Independence Day: BlazBlue

Halloween: Overwatch

Thanksgiving: Spongebob Squarepants (L), Super Smash Bros.

And now for some indepth rules:

Spoiler: Rules (click to show/hide)

The game is (as usual for me) a d10-based Chunky Salsa RPG. The game runs on an internal calender, though PCs can skip however many days they want to get to missions/Holiday Demons faster, and days will skip automatically if there are no missions, so don't worry about being bogged down or bored.

The main mechanic is Decay: for every Main Mission the PCs fail or simply don't get to within the time limit, the themed world representing their holiday will decay more and more. Too much decay and the world is lost. No boss fight, no fixing things. Saving a world weakens the Black Hiver while letting a world die will strengthen him. The game is split up into four mission types accessible between missions:

Main Missions: Fight off the corruptive influence of the Holiday Demons to save the Multiverse. These missions must be done to prevent corruption.
Side Missions: Between rescuing civilians, battling mini-bosses or waves of mooks, defending an area, or simply repairing valuable tech or buildings, these missions are for the purpose of granting the Party Items, Weapons, NPC Allies, and other goodies. Failing these will not result in Decay, but PCs can still die and there is a time limit on these.
Recruitment Ops: Missions that revolve around completing a specific objective. Completing this objective will unlock a group of character sheets for an unlocked Universe: i.e, completing a mission for Star Wars will unlock new characters from the franchise. These missions have no Decay or timelimit, but PCs can still die.
Demon Battles: Boss Battles against the patron Holiday Demon of that world. Defeating these Demons will Save the Holiday World, and allow safe passage to the next Holiday World and thus, the next Demon. However, should the Demon kill the whole party, it counts as a loss, and that world Decays, granting the Black Hiver powers.

The next post will feature the starting Character Sheets, don't worry. You can Suggest a Holiday and Franchise to be used (like, for example, Canada Day which will unlock Steven Universe if completed), so long as it can slip between the other preset holidays and I approve it.

Every player gets a single character. I'm actually gonna ditch colors, instead imposing a hard cap of having only one of a character at a time. So, Detox, you're in.

[King Zultan]

So is this going to be one of those games with the IC and OOC threads, or all in one?

[Greatness942]

So is this going to be one of those games with the IC and OOC threads, or all in one?

It'd honestly depend on what's easier. All in one might get confusing, so I'm leaning towards the former.

[Detoxicated]

will we be playing a different character for each holiday? Can we send other chars on missions but you roll the results. What to do with downtime?

[Dustan Hache]

Well this looks interesting. I think I'll try Soldier* out if you'll have me.

[Greatness942]

As interesting as both ideas sound, no. You have the same party every holiday, and time management is the key, not outsourcing.

As for downtime, players will be able to gain missions by talking to NPCs (or just have a polite conversation), or buy items or skills from within the area.

Well this looks interesting. I think I'll try Soldier* out if you'll have me.

Of course! You're in.

[Detoxicated]

okay sounds neat. just wanted to make sure if i got you right.

[Greatness942]

Bumping the thread one last time.

[King Zultan]

I'm interested in joining this but I'm not sure what to pick.

[Greatness942]

I'm interested in joining this but I'm not sure what to pick.

If you have to take my advice, I'd recommend looking up characters you're stuck on to get a feel for them in their source material, and then using that as a baseline to choose them.

[Dustan Hache]

I can hardly wait to save Easter.
