Swags posted:Oh man, I am so happy you like it because I know jack and poo poo about board games. I literally just sorted BGG by complexity and tried to grab one of the hard ones that it would be unlikely you would have. Hope it plays well! Hah! Truth be told I don't have many super high complexity games, but if a game rates on near the same complexity as a game like Advanced Squad Leader then I'm very interested in setting some time aside to learn and play it. The sad reality is that I hardly have time to rationalize for this sort of activity these days, but the idea of there being a game like this waiting for me is exciting in and of itself. Good on you for your selection method!

I have been gifted part 1 of 2 from our gracious TGSS runner Leperflesh! They gave me a bunch of digital 2 player games for my wife and I to play. Say What You Mean: a game of 2 wizard penpals Mars Colony: A game of a barely qualified Saviour to save the Martian colony from itself And its sequel Mars Colony: 39 Dark, where the Saviour instead is now tasked with leading a protest movement And Echo Radio: where the same person on 2 different dimensions communicate with each other. Thank you Santa Leperflesh! Looking forward to getting part 2!

What's this? A package! My apartment doesn't allow pets so you might think I wouldn't have a package inspector but I've......................adapted. She does not appear impressed. I, however, am absolutely loving delighted.  TRO Clan Invasion! Thankyou so much Santa, I'll do some reading and get some sweet Clan mechs in the Kickstarter to go with it!

I gotta give thanks to TG forums goons magnusth and especially UnCO3 for giving me much needed advice about good indie 2-player games. Your package is, as we previously discussed, still winding its way through Canada Post after spending an unreasonable amount of time getting to and then through international customs. They are targeting Dec 23rd for delivery

Having returned from my conference, I discovered a mysterous triangular package! It was promptly given to the package inspector to check. She responded with confusion and a little distain (her usual state), which I took to be a sign that it was ok to open.  Inside was an amazing poster/map/game, The Golden Sea!  I am really really excited to get some friends together and map out a journey through this weird, post-apocalyptic desert. Massive thanks, Santa!

Ok I know Berenzen's package is slightly in limbo (attempted delivery on Sunday, is now at a post office for pickup, Berenzen said that should be OK); I know a bonus package for JackMann (who already got the main part of their gift) is delayed, but that's a known thing being tracked - the shipper failed to send it, and something is being done to make good on that, and they already got a fully gift-valued package anyway. And, Rhjamiz saidRhjamiz posted:I have received the second package, just didn't post yet. Busy week this week, will be opening both and posting pictures soon. which I am like 90% sure is the lightning bonus round package. That covers everything! That means NOBODY HAS BEEN GRINCHED for a second year running. Do stick around for a few final gift openings, a couple of goons decided to wait until xmas to open their stuff, but I wanted you all to know that I'm delighted with these results and I hope you will all come back again next year. Also don't forget you can ask to be on the mailing list to be reminded next year when the thread goes up, just send an email to tgsecretsanta@gmail.com and I'll put you on the list!

A package has arrived, after a long strange trip. Inside was a sweet LARP Axe!   This is pretty awesome. I don't have an axe in the collection yet, and this is a really nice make. Thank you once again Leperflesh!

Well, Christmas is upon us, so I opened up my gifts at last: The Package inspection doggo looks somewhat perturbed in this photo, but that might have to do with his getup. It's apparently to help dry him off when he gets wet (don't worry, we're not making him wear it 24/7). But what lies within these packages?  It's probably hard to tell from my terrible photography, but these are some cool 15mm scale mechs from White Dragon Games and some neat 15mm space army mans! But that's not all, there was also a cool card! I forgot to take a picture of the front, but I got the good stuff:  Thanks, Opossum Santa!

It's gift opening time! I put in some effort negotiating with the  Well, guess I'll just have to open it with reckless disregard for my own safety.   It's Sushi Go!, a copy of the Expanse RPG, and two halves of different notes stuck to each other! I especially appreciate Amazon's consideration this year, giving me two puzzles to solve in addition to figuring out who my Santa is.   The Expanse is a rather beautiful book and even has a fancy poster map of the solar system folded in the back. I haven't seen any of the show, but I've got access to Prime Video and heard good things from some friends about it, so I'll have to check it out as I read through my gift! And if I'm clueing the relevant note together, Sushi Go! is a drafting game, which fills a nice void in my board game collection. Drafting has always been a fun format for me, no matter the card game. So this little set collection game sounds like it should scratch that "sit and pass some packs" itch. I'm looking forward to wheeling some wasabi in the near future! Thank you, Santa! These are great selections! And my apologies if you identified yourself in either of the gift notes; the smirks on the box must have eaten that part.

I also opened a package today from my Santa. I didn't have the inspection service to help out, but they were present and watching. Goddamn, that's a big box. What on earth could be in it?  THERE ARE MORE BOXES UNDERNEATH  Holy crap, thank you Flex. You are an incredibly generous Santa. A merry Christmas to you! Gaghskull fucked around with this message at 14:17 on Dec 27, 2019 |

Merry xmas everyone! I'm back from my marathon family stuff, exhausted but I survived, and it looks like we're at 100% gifts now! Berenzen, I'm glad you like that axe! I don't know anything about larp, but I did a lot of searching and it seemed like a well-reviewed piece that could work in fantasy or in post-apocalypse type SF settings, so I'm hopeful it will work with at least one larp that you larp in the future. Also, it was sold by an Etsy person who had the best deal on shipping... anyway good luck with your chopping up of your enemies, hopefully. occamsnailfile posted:A merry possum-day to all!

Glad you like the gifts, I saw the Expanse RPG while browsing B&N, I don't know if it is any good but the show is pretty sweet. Hope you enjoy. and I peeped your BGG list and didn't see Sushi Go! It is a fun little game that should scratch a bit of that drafting itch. Merry Christmas!

The much belated unboxing of awesomeness:  Alas, I have no security cats or pups to clear the box for opening. Star Wars pics will at least cover up addresses (those porgs really do get everywhere).    Two cards along with two enticing blue and gold packages!   And the first one is a kickass Bandai AT-ST model! This will go nicely with the two other imperial models I’ve got.   Grundma done gifted me the dopest of this line of models! I think—-no, I know—-this one will require I get my brushes and paint out of retirement. Water transfers will not do this one justice.  Vader and I are well chuffed over the gifts—-many thanks! Also it’s the holidays, don’t judge Vader for keeping it casual and capeless

Rhjamiz posted:So belatedly, first gift! Yay I am glad they both arrived safely. I hope the snacks meet your criteria. The honey butter potato chips are a personal favorite. The book has a sequel if you happen to like it as well as a wide body of other work by the author. The game is..... Man the game is something. I couldn't ship dongs so I gave the gift of virtual cthulhoid dongs!

The butter soy crisps were... not. The initial flavor was fine but they have a strong aftertaste of raw potato.
