Star Players

LETTERS TO SANTA

To keep things merry, at the start of each game each coach gets to roll on the Letters to Santa table. Each coach will roll a D8 and get the following:

1-2: You’ve been naughty. Not much for you this year. Father Sawbones has come to visit. Once your team has been setup, randomly select one player who will lose 1MA for the rest of the game.

3-4: Not a bad effort. Choose one player to gain the Pro skill for the rest of the game.

5-6: I can see you’ve been tidying your room. Roll for a random lesser magic potion.
