Is This Anything?
A D&D One-Shot that plays out like a Hallmark Christmas Movie.
In the town of Wickhollow, the wreaths go up a week before Solstice. The winter baking competition has been running since before anyone can remember. The mayor wears a sash. The candle in the window of the oldest house on the main road has been lit every Longest Night for several generations.
Someone in your party has been here before. They lived here, they loved here, they lost here. They left. They swore they'd never come back. But the town has welcomed them back with open arms.
Something is wrong this year. It's not a problem that can be solved by hitting it, but it is certainly the type of problem that will absolutely ruin the Longest Night celebrations if nobody does anything.
---
This is the idea of a one-shot that needs player and DM input to fully flesh it out.
What's wrong could be a family feud nobody will say aloud. It could be a recent loss that the town hasn't fully grieved yet. It could be a ritual nobody remembers how to perform. It could be the reason the hometown hero left in the first place, a wrong done to them that still sits unaddressed in the room.
One in the party is the "hometown hero" of sorts. They've returned to the town for the first time in years. Why they've returned could be a recent death in the family. It could be an old love to rekindle. It could be a letter with no return address that somehow found them anyway. It could just be that they were passing through; they swear they were only passing through.
The rest of the party are the quirky and lovable townsfolk. A chimneysweep, always covered in soot. A stablehand who can't escape the smell. An innkeeper who reserved the last room just for the "hero". The child who still believes all of it, completely, without irony.
The climax of the story is not driven by combat, but by a speech, a performance, a small act of community that the "hometown hero" could not have managed at session zero.
And it must start snowing right at the end. That is not a suggestion. The DM does not get a vote on this. It must start snowing.

It's the #LongestNight, so we have to feature that well-known painter of night scenes, Atkinson Grimshaw: here's his rather magical "Evening Glow" of 1882. https://victorianweb.org/painting/grimshaw/paintings/gidwitz11.html #paintings

Happy #WinterSolstice to everyone, from #Nucilandia 🐿️
Today marks the #longestNight and the #shortestDay — the #turningPoint. From here on, the #lightReturns. Each sunrise will linger a little longer, each day growing brighter than the last.
May this be a reminder that even at the lowest point, #hope is already on its way back. #TheSun endures, life persists, and warmth will rise again.

Today is the #WinterSolstice in the northern half of the planet. It will occur in just over an hour’s time at 09:20Z, marking the start of #Winter, accompanied by the #LongestNight. Meanwhile, the other side of the #Earth is half a year out of phase and will mark the start of #Summer on their #SummerSolstice and the #LongestDay.

“Surely there could be no darker place in the be-wintered world than the interior of Maeshowe. One of the light rays is caught in this stone web of death. Through the long corridor it has found its way; it splashes the far wall of the chamber. The illumination lasts a few minutes, then is quenched.”
George Mackay Brown

It's been a long and weary year for me. Reflecting on it as the sun set to start the longest night of the year, 15.36. Here comes the #solstice2024

The #JuneSolstice will occur at 2050Z today. So that will be on the 21 June for the majority of the population of the planet. It’s the #LongestDay or #LongestNight of the year depending on your latitude. Roll on #summer or #winter.

On the night of Winter Solstice
When the questions loosened their grip
When Body gave over to Wisdom
And Mind elected freedom
In the flickering candlelight
One Who Sees
Did, finally, actually see
In letting go
She came home
To herself
A newfound, powerful flow
And such peace as she had never known before -

On the #longestNight of the year I slept poorly. Awake from 3:00 until after 6:00, finally sleeping then, but the alarm was just a few minutes later.
Can prob blame that #espresso I had with supper last night…
I'm sorry I drank
that espresso
that I ordered
after dinner last nightand which I probably
should have saved
for breakfast.It was delicious,
so dark and
bitter and hot -

Every winter solstice we catch the last rays of light at sunset in a candle and let it burn through the night, extinguishing it at sunrise the next dawn.
As a resident of lands with hard winters and long nights, this tradition means a lot to me.
