15: Relics
With so many stories attached to Christmas like Santa and Scrooge, you have plenty of material to avoid the Nativity if you don’t want to reckon with it or risk offence. But Relics is a game about angels which starts with God closing the Gates of Heaven and features a bunch of Biblical and apocryphal figures on stage as well as beings from various other mythologies with the option to play some, so this seems like a good game to look at Bible stories as inspiration.
And The Angel Came In Unto Her
The Band experience their first Christmas since the Gates closed, and the surprising ways that people celebrate a major intervention millennia ago, especially when they know more than most about the specifics - because some of them were there.
“So, I get Saint Nicholas going from giving gold to some specific people to giving gifts to everybody, like the celebration becomes a second birthday, but where did the flying reindeer come in? I mean, yes, we can make reindeer fly, but...”
Can they save a mother-to-be, bring peace to a battlefield, and figure out how to wrap a present?
