Throne of Candycane: The Final Holiday Battle
A Mythic Level 25 Holiday One-Shot Adventure of Epic Proportions
The Time Has Come to Save Christmas…
In the darkest reaches of the Abyss, where festivity and joy are twisted into unspeakable horrors, only the most legendary of heroes can hope to restore the magic of the holidays. This is not just a fight—it’s a festive, cosmic showdown between the forces of evil and the spirit of Christmas itself. The fate of the holidays, and perhaps the entire multiverse, hinges on a single, desperate act: retrieving the Wand of Candycane for Santa Claus.
The Challenge:
You and your fellow adventurers have ascended to unimaginable power, reaching Level 25—a mythic status beyond the realms of ordinary heroes. Your mission: descend into the Abyss, face the most twisted beings imaginable, and save Christmas for all. The journey takes you deep into the heart of the Abyss, where Demogorgon the Negaelf spreads chaos and malice, and then beyond, to confront Orcus the Grinch himself. These titans of darkness stand between you and the light of the holidays.
The Mission:
The Wand of Candycane, a powerful artifact, has been stolen from Santa Claus. Without it, the power of joy and warmth that keeps the holiday season alive will fade, leaving the world cold and dark. You must descend into the Abyss and challenge Demogorgon the Negaelf—a monstrous, holiday-hating fiend who seeks to pervert the magic of Christmas. But your journey doesn’t end there; you must also defeat Orcus the Grinch, a vile demon lord whose hatred for everything festive has driven him to steal the magic of the holidays. Only by defeating these forces can you return the Wand of Candycane to Santa and save Christmas.
The Festive Foes:
This epic one-shot is your chance to engage in two monumental battles that will test your abilities, strategy, and teamwork to the fullest.

DM Jedi Mindauce is a true standout among DM’s. I’ve been playing tabletop RPG’s for over 10 years now, and I can honestly say that he is one of the best DM’s I’ve ever played with. It’s rare to find a DM who can improv, tell a compelling story, build an engaging and immersive world, AND do some killer voices and impressions! He’s also a wizard when it comes to Foundry VTT. His maps are always new and exciting, and he has a wealth of assets and resources loaded into his Foundry VTT, which make rolling and level-ups feel seamless. I cannot recommend him highly enough to players of all backgrounds and experience!
Mindsaucy is not only an excellent DM at a technical and mechanical level– knowing the rules, making fair rulings, keeping the game moving, and engaging players– but their skills are FAR beyond just the mastery at the art of being a GM. They do excellent world building and story telling– all enhanced with a highly customized, visually engaging and immersive implementation of Foundry. Every session I fall in love with his NPCs, which are all well crafted characters. They work to weave your PC’s background into the story, too. They’re always well prepared and has a variety of different encounters, no matter what pillar of DnD you like best. Also super kind and very patient with a player like me who does not play much 5e and has never used a VTT. Definitely recommend them for a one-shot or whole campaign!
I’ve been playing with the Jedi for several months now and the games are always fun. There’s a decent challenge, but you still get to feel powerful. Great guy and great fun!

I never had a professional D&D experience before DM Jedi Mindsauce. Let me just say that he sets a high bar. He offers great storytelling, atmosphere, characters, voice acting, and an open world approach that gives players a lot of freedom. I have a feeling I'll be gaming with this DM for a long time given the terrific experience he offers!

As a first time DnD player, I had very little knowledge of what to expect along with all the rules/nuances of the game. Jedi Mindsauce has made the whole experience easy to understand and has been tremendously helpful providing guidance and leeway to a player who is just getting his feet wet. I've thoroughly enjoyed my experience and am looking forward to all the other campaigns & one-shots I will play in the future thanks to Jedi Mindsauce's introduction to this universe.

TLDR... COMPLETE PACKAGE - AWESOME! As the title indicates, DJ Jedi Mindsauce has proven to be one of the BEST GMs that I’ve had in my 40+ years of playing Tabletop RPGs! I myself have been a game designer for nearly 30 years so believe me when I say that I have an extremely “high bar”, and Jedi has lived up to my expectations. Between the virtual tabletop that he provides, as well as his host of characters/voices that he's created for his worlds, he has given us one of the most "complete" experiences that I've ever had while gaming. HE CLEARLY LOVES WHAT HE DOES! He bas been a great GM so far and I have no intention of finding another one anytime soon.
--- If you are looking to get into gaming, or just looking for your next adventure, I urge you to read more about my experience with him so far...
My friends and I have been playing with him for close to 6 months now and his well thought out, immersive world(s) never cease to impressed me. I absolutely love his virtual tabletop solution (accessible via any browser so no need to “download X or Y to get started”), along with all of the various maps and other information he has plugged into it. (Players can recall everything they’ve seen during the game so far, maps, images, letters/documentation they find throughout the game, a list of important NPCs you’ve encountered, it’s truly impressive.) As for my group, a few of my friends were new to D&D and Jedi was more than patient with everyone in the group, helped get everyone started, and continues to be a patient teacher as we have been evolving our characters as we level. (He has even responded to private messages between sessions as time permits.) He clearly thinks through what us players “might try” because he always has a great response (always in character), to everything we throw at him. He has given us an incredible amount of freedom to push the narrative where we'd like (as opposed to "sticking to a specific script" like many GMs), yet our story has continued to progress at an even clip. He is more than willing to work with the group and goes out of his way to make everyone in the party feel like the "heroes" that TTRPGs have always given us the platform to be. On top of this, he clearly has a great sense on how to balance combat encounters that cater both to the group's composition (our specific classes) and the number of players. (Even when we have the occasional group member missing here and there.)
The bottom line is that If you give this guy a chance, I guarantee there's a strong likelihood that you will have found your new GM for the foreseeable future. I couldn't be happier that we chose to go with him as our GM, he's absolutely fantastic!
