All Aboard The Astral Express!

Every year, Klaus the Kindhearted travels across the planes visiting all the good little boys and girls and delivering to them magical treats and gifts. He does this on his magical train, The Astral Express. This year, however, while skirting the abyss he inadvertently picked up a nefarious hitchhiker. A creature born of malice and hunger and hate: The Gingerdead Man. Summoned by Klaus as a last-ditch effort to save his train and the gift-giving season, will your party be able to safely navigate the Astral Express and thwart the Gingerdead Man’s evil plots?

Hey everyone!

In honor of the holiday season, we have gathered together for another free collaboration, this time centered around a magically powered train soaring through the sky!
Along with maps of a wide variety of train cars to navigate through, this collaboration includes a written adventure, new monsters, minis, magic items, and musical tracks to bring it all together in one cohesive package! You can view a list of everything contained in the pack below as well as links to each of the creators responsible for contributing to this effort. Most creators have also created their own patron-only content, so we highly encourage that you check out their Patreons below.

Included in this mega collaboration is:

  • 4 atmospheric musical tracks
  • 8 yuletide magic items
  • 17 monsters complete with stats
  • 25 monster tokens
  • 16 different 17 x 11 maps, available as gridded and gridless, as well as printable PDFs.
  • 2 backdrops to place your maps onto

You can download all the PDF, maps, tokens and music using the link at the top of this post.

Here are links to all the creators involved in the project!

This is great! I'm starting to prep to run this but I'm confused about the map for room 10 The Lounge Car. Every other room seems to have a map but this one. There is an extra map that appears to be a dungeon car but that doesn't fit thematically with the lounge car. Regardless this is great and if that's a map that didn't get made this still looks like an amazing adventure!

Thank you Nate! This was figured out amongst the others and apparently was a car that was in mid-production when the creator had to back out of the project, somehow slipped through the cracks. A cleaned up version of it has been uploaded separately to this post's downloads.

Huh, I couldn't find a stat block for Klaus. Only reason it matters is how long it takes to bake him in the engine before he becomes a blackened cookie. Ehh, I'll just call it 30 HP.
