Winter Veil is not too far away, and another year in a row I’m offering my services to play Greatfather Winter at your Winter Veil event!
.
PLEASE SEE BOTTOM OF THE POST FOR CURRENT LISTINGS AND GIGS!
Since 2017 I’ve done quite a few events playing the part of the jolly winter spirit for the holiday. I wish I remembered to remember every single event but so far I can say I’ve done (and can still do!)
What Do I Offer?
What Do I Offer? -
General Great-Father Interactions: Such as, listening to peoples wishes, talking with them, being a presence to interact with. (Yes people have sat on my lap! Including tauren…)
- Photo-ops: Stand next to the friendly Great-Father Winter for your chance of a special holiday souvenir for your mantle with the family photos! This is a feature that is usually taken care by the ones who book Great-Father, since I am too busy with making dreams come true! A person is usually assigned as the photographer (screenshots) and then add a special Holiday frame around it with the year and event name!
- Guest Appearance: Want a surprise guest for your guild? Friend? Public event? Then why not bring jolly ol Great-Father Winter! He will be there to support, interact or look pretty for any occasion. Contests, fashion shows, your guild photo - just ask!
- Experiences for Horde, Alliance and Neutral (WRA and MG!!) provided they are okay with an orcish Great-Father!
What is my over all experience?
What is my over all experience? Since 2017, I’ve offered my services to friends and strangers alike to interact with Great-Father Winter. I’ve done in-game acting just as long, and I put full dedication to immersion to the role. I’ve done numerous in-game plays that range from 60 minutes to 2 Hours, I’ve done several Mog Competitions, public speaking, classes, event hosting, planning and creation.
With Great-Father Winter himself he’s: Been a guest for mog judging , fashion shows, date auctions, photo-ops, walk around character, in several Holiday themed plays and general interacting with the public on my own.
I’ve also heard every question under the sun! Asking if he’s real, “Why don’t you know my nam”, “Why didn’t I get that gift?”, “Why are there other Great-Fathers?”, “Prove that you’re real!” -…and I have an answer for about everything! But I cannot do much if someone just wants to be the obnoxious bully to Santa Claus. Let me give you a hint…It does’t look cool and it actually looks embarrassing! You are ruining other peoples enjoyment by being the Greench’s behind.
What comes with the Great-Father Gotosh Holiday Package?
What comes with the Great-Father Gotosh Holiday Package? I have TWO Gotoshs.
- Shaman Gotosh provides the elemental aspect of Great-Father Winter
- Hunter Gotosh is able to provide an added attraction of Metzen the Reindeer if that is wanted.
Neither are hindered by mog restrictions and have the full outfit on each!
-
I have most, if not all Winter Veil related items (save for a cushion toy I believe).
-
Immersive items such as snow, winters trees and so on.
-
Often times, I have my own personal handler who is dressed as Greatfathers Reindeer helper “Zargy the Reindeer”, he helps me with remembering to take breaks and seeing people I might of missed!
-
A great love and passion for being there as Greatfather!
-
My ability to stand there for hours and not break character!

Is there anything I should know?
Is there anything I should know?
Yes , actually!
It should be explicitly noted , that Gotosh’s Great-Father Winter is in no way associated with Smokey Wood Pastures or any sort of commercial advertisement. This is information that would provided to the hosts off camera.
Gotosh works purely independently and is doing this because wants to, not because he’s working for a company.
Gotosh will never reveal that he is an actor playing a character, so the hosts should refer to him as Great-Father Winter and not ‘Gotosh’, even in joking. To Gotosh, he and Great-Father are two separate people. Due to his shamanism, he’s able to help events get in contact with him due to Great-Father being a winter spirit. The fact they look the same is coincidence, or may have to do with his influence in getting him on the physical world of Azeroth.
Gotosh’s version of Great-Father Winter is separate to the narrative of the Smokey Wood’s Pasture gentleman you see standing out front.Great-Father Winter provides a positive orcish figure that is focused on something happy, rather then the usual narrative we see pushed on orcs. He takes this modern symbol and fuses it with the tradition of changing seasons and promoting the true purpose of Winter’s Veil. The honoring the harmony of the world.
At the same time, still providing a happy, fun and good matured personality that stays true to the modern holiday spirit of gift giving and tasty treats! He is a manifestation of Winter itself, brought onto Azeroth to remind people to be good to each other.
