I arrived home to find a box from Amazon. My first thought was, "What did I order now?" Then my kid demolished the box like some sort of viking. Luckily I had a chance to extract the contents while he popped the bubble wrap. Thanks Santa, seriously dude (or dudette), this was an awesome and very thoughtful gift.  And the dogs love it too.  Now I can learn all about the BT-7's I send to their deaths on paper and on pixel.

Oh poo poo, is that a package waiting for me? It is! And what's inside? Awwww yeah, it's motherfuckin Galaxy Trucker. Another Vlaada Chvatil game I can check off my list. Thank you Secret Santa...but we're not done yet! The kind soul who gave me the gift of the world's most scientifically accurate galaxy trucking boardgame declined to indicate who they were, so whoever sent me this you can either speak up in the thread, PM me, or email Leperflesh and inform one of us how much this cost you, whereupon I will make an equal amount donation to the charity of your choice in your name. If you don't want to discuss prices then at least tell me which charity you'd like to receive a donation and I will make a $30 donation to them instead.

It's cold, time to take out the trash. May as well go get the mail. Oh, some Amazon packages. Perhaps clothes or a magnet? Eh, it's just another cat. Wait, there's something else. Behind the cat.  Ho ho! Time to Thompson the Watergate with the Greys! These fared much better than I would've expected, being crammed in my apartment's tiny mailbox. Thanks, Lech!

I believe I have replied or handled all emails sent to me! I probably won't catch up with this thread till Friday, depending on how severe the turkey coma is. For those of you in the relevant nations, happy thanksgiving! I am thankful for all of you cool goons and your generosity and sense of fun. Warms my cockles, it does.

I didn't even think about taking pictures before I headed home for Thanksgiving. I'll try to get pictures up when I get home. The last bit for my giftee's stuff should arrive by then too.

Mantic is having a Black Friday sale starting at 10 AM UK time - about three hours from this post, if I did my time zone math right. quote:Throughout the day, we'll be adding a Black Friday deal to the website every hour between 10am and midnight (UK time). quote:These deals will be very limited, so you’ll have to be quick if you want to pick up something special, like a Lower Abyssal Horde for £17.99 (RRP £29.99) or a Grubatek Coliseum Deluxe Dreadball pitch for £9.99 (RRP £19.99). That's only a taste of what we've got lined up! Please go ahead and post any other Black Friday trad games-related deals you see popping up this weekend; a lot of TGSS goons haven't made their purchases yet, so it's a good opportunity to find some deals.

I just realized I didn't post pictures yet!  No pictures of the outside of the box or of cats sniffing and rubbing against the box this year... too excited to open it!  Amazon upped their gift wrap game this year... I put this bag on a cat, no worries.  Thanks, Santa!! I can't wait to play as a magician saving the world from madness and insanity...

Pretty goddamn good, Mr. Santa. Literally a perfect gift, and one I wouldn't have ever gotten myself. I'm already looking forward to reading through the rules here and maybe pulling them into some game play!

I was a little afraid that it was too similar to the manuals you have so far...but then I realized all of those manuals were updates on previous ones so how about the newest one I could find! For what it's worth, I was a smidge under $30 with that. There's a few Battletech kindle novels I found, so if you own a kindle I can purchase one of those for you as well.

THANKS SANTA! I mean look at this! Came home from Thanksgiving with the family to a wonderful package on the doorstep:  Here's some close ups of each item:  Hell yeah Assault Lance! I have the Intro box and Pursuit Lance for Battletech, so this fits in soooo nice.  Blue Sun expansion for the Firefly game. Very nice; map expansion and gorram Reavers!  And the Breakin' Atmo deck expansion, for new jobs and supplies. Awesome! Thanks again, Santa! This is absolutely perfect!

That's more than enough for one Secret Santa, if you feel like making up the difference do a quick donation to your favorite charity. I feel like I need to read through everything I've currently got!

Yay! a double helping of fun. My Santa sent me a lovely gift (after DTRPG jacked it up), accompanied by this enticing card: The aforementioned gift was an electronic copy of this gem of a game:  Which I look forward to savoring and perhaps running if I can find any players. Thanks, Secret Santa! Also, I've just received notice that the gift for my santee has shipped, so hopefully that will arrive sometime early next week, USPS willing.

Thanks to Goon Santa for the very thoughtful trio of board games! These were accompanied by the following funny gift notes (frogs added for emphasis): quote:Hey! Mikey Purp! I hope your Christmas... quote:Yo, Mikey Purp! Have an... And my personal favorite: quote:Hello, Mikey Purp. Here is a third gift. Thanks again! These three games are a perfect foundation for my growing collection.
