Thank you, Santa!

... Since it's seems to be the pattern this year I'll out myself! Hi! I'm your Santa! Amusingly Amazon still seems to think that the package is in transit, and wasn't expecting it to get there until Monday!

Hope you enjoy the games - they're both really fun and light. Plus love-letter seems to be the Gift of the Year - I think I've seen at least three or four different Santees get it!

A parcel has been delivered for you, due to Christmas we are receiving more parcels than usual so please collect asap. Many thanks
I wonder what this could be - the only thing I have on order isn't scheduled to arrive until the end of the week...


THANKYOU SANTA!

Glad you like it! I haven't play it yet myself but really want to - you made the gift selection pretty easy, but I had no idea if you had this already. I thought this would be a safe bet considering you're a goon! Hopefully this comes in handy when the family wants to play a game :)

Gonna go ahead and out myself here, I am your Santa. And now that both parcels have arrived; if you do decide to open one before Christmas Day itself, I suggest the one that arrived today. Its nifty, but the first one that showed up is niftier. Feel free to wait on both, of course, but hey, instant gratification isn't always a bad thing ;)

Yeah, I hosed up while I was ordering and forgot to have them wrap it and add a whimsical note. Wait by your mailbox, because there's something else on its way! Also, yes, GUMSHOE is awesome and I think MCB is the best of the many excellent games that use it. Seriously, check out the entire chapter on how forensic science applies to super powers, or the sections where they talk about the legal ramifications of certain powers, and how mind reading ties into the Fourth Amendment and stuff.

My gift from Santa has arrived! BEHOLD!



That's the Mardu Horde* intro deck for MTG, with all the cards from the two free boosters arranged so they can be checked out, plus a whole boatload of dice with new bags in which to carry them! It's perfect, hail Santa!

*For context for those that don't play wizard poker, the Mardu Horde group is featured in two of the other decks I own, meaning that all of the cards I have just received have a high degree of synergy with them, opening up a lot of options for deckbuilding.

Deliberately chosen for that reason. Didn't realize the two boosters were going to be in there though. I was originally going to try to get you a pre-built Blue White deck (since the color question I e-mailed you said you liked blue :shobon: ) but I noticed that this pre-built deck would have a lot of synergy with your other pre-built decks from the block so I went with that instead.

It works great, my other deck is White/Red, too (the Heroes deck of Heroes vs. Monsters), so I've got no shortage of options. Every intro deck comes with a pair of boosters now, to entice new players to get more cards to go with all the stuff from the boosters they can't use in the deck they just obtained.
