I've just ordered my Lightning Round 2 gift, my giftee should already have an email letting them know they've got something!

Well, I know that I would like to receive a tracking number for whatever my santee decides to send to me, but my conditions are a bit unusual.

I live in Colombia, but since I would rather not subject ANYBODY to international shipping (for it is a frightening limbo), I also provided a US address for a parcel delivery system I use all the time. If they did send it there, having such a number helps track stuff down.

Especially during this season, since, well, a TON of people order stuff online and have it brought over via such services.

Thank you, Santa! It's just what I wanted, and both of these are definitely going to see a lot of use in the next few weeks.

I'm glad both finally got to you. I was worried about the Blood Wars since you said you weren't big on card games, but I figured it would be good for gaming inspiration at the least, and I remembered it being fun back in the day anyway. I'm happy you like them both!

Surely Colombia can't be that bad.
Australia here, and I'm not expecting to see anything arrive until the end of the month. I'm also on the less population-dense half of the country so even after parcels make it to Aus, they generally take another week to get across the country thanks to our wonderfully efficient postal service :v:

It takes forever for stuff to get to us in the future :rolleyes:

Awesome! Houses looks like an interesting game and I don't think I have any Wick books, so I'm definitely going to be sitting down to check it out in depth once this semester finishes wrapping up. Thanks, Benedict!

As far as things go on my end, the last part of my Santee's gift should be arriving tomorrow. Then I can finish adding all the personal touches over the weekend and send everything out early next week.

I didn't realize there were other people on SA besides me that like Wick's stuff. Color me pleasantly surprised. I've been harboring thoughts of running some of his games, and now I know there's a potential pool of players. I'll have to remember this.

Well the 2 player starter I have, aside from 1 battleship and 3 cruisers each, has 4 Frigates and lots of fighters for the Terrans and 3 more powerful frigates and few fighters for the Dindrenzi, so these just keep up the underdog little ships storyline :v: Thanks again!

Hm. Troubling news. I am informed by Amazon that the second part of Bucnasti's gift has supposedly been delivered, but he has not been by to report its arrival. On the plus side, it was just a little thing, a bonus gift atop the Mutant City Blues that comprises the actual gift, but it was really cool and I really hope it got there alright. :ohdearsass:

You're very welcome. I'm not the hugest fan of the style the books written in, but its a super solid game and has some interesting story.

Also, Aural, you said the package was beat up, was the book undamaged? I got a used copy to sneak in under the budget and had it sent to me, examined it, then repacked and sent. Didnt expect them to chew the box up. Hopefully the bubble wrap helped? If it was damaged at all let me know and ill make it right.

Things are chugging along nicely. I've responded to all emails, and the spreadsheet is filling up with lots of "received" status notes. Awesome!

The following goons have not posted to say that they've bought or shipped anything, and also their Santees haven't received anything. Please don't panic, I'm not calling you out: this is a bookkeeping auditing exercise more than anything. If your name is on this list and you have sent something, please post or PM me or email tgsecretsanta@gmail.com.

If you haven't gotten something out yet, it's OK! It's only December 6th. If you're shipping domestically, you have probably another week or so before you'd have to start thinking about a more expensive shipping option. If you're shipping internationally, you should probably get something going before the end of next week.
