2021 Yuletide Promo Post



Welcome to the Fandom Promo post, everyone!

Here's where you get those eyes on your fandoms for sign ups!

Share what makes your Yuletide fandoms the shiniest and why you love them. A big part of Yuletide is how small our fandoms can be, and this is a good way to make sure other people know what gems there are out there!

Suggested form to use:

<b>FANDOM NAME</b>:
<b>WHAT MAKES IT GREAT</b>:
<b>WHERE CAN I FIND IT (optional)</b>
:


(Bonus optional: What are you thinking of requesting for this?)

EDIT:

Useful tips (Not required, but helps people if they want to engage with your fandom!):

- Mention what form of media the canon is. Is it a comic miniseries? Is it a twenty season tv show? Is it a book? Is it a twitter feed?
- Is it standalone or part of a series?
- It's best to make each fandom its own entry with its own title in the subject line! That makes it easier for people to find/see what you're promoting! Don't worry about 'spam', that is the entire point of this entry and you're using it exactly as intended.


For reference, last year's promo post!

Nice Marines RPG

FANDOM NAME: Nice Marines (Roleplaying Game)

WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: This is a tiny one-page TTRPG by Grant Howitt, obviously a parody/nod to Warhammer 40k...except it's about death machine soldiers trying to figure out how to do nice things. I quote from the intro:

YOU ARE A SPACE MARINE: an immortal giant genetically engineered to be the perfect instrument of war. You and your squadmates are oathsworn protectors of the Astral Commonwealth - and one another. The iconoclasts of the galaxy shiver in terror at the very mention of your name.

However: support forces have not arrived following the recent liberation of VAnnis, leaving you in charge of a diplomatic envoy dedicated to rebuilding after the conflict. You have no idea how to do this.


Character generation also includes the fact that your character has never understood some aspect of civilian culture, such as "Animals | Cuisine | Love | Fashion | Food | Humour | Lying | Art | Grav-cars | Sadness."

It's only one page! And think of all the worldbuilding/crack humor potential!

WHERE CAN I FIND IT (optional): This is available as a pay-what-you-want (including free) one-page PDF here.
