I TAKE RESPONSIBILITY Seriously, glad you like 'em! I don't know much about minis, so I figured some paints would be the best idea. I hope you get good use out of that set!

I got presents! Thanks, LordAba! I do like the gift. I will get good use out of the Lord of the Rings cards, and I'm interested in trying out Pixel Tactics, which I don't know anything about so that's good! I mean, except that it's pixelated, and presumably tactical. Here is the obligatory cat photo:

Leperflesh posted:I got presents! Sweet, I did notice the Lord of Rings set wasn't on your list but it had a "saga expansion" so I wasn't sure if you could directly use it. Unfortunately the store didn't have any of the expansions that you specified, and one of the guys told me that Thunderstone Advanced was something that might have severely died down. Pixel Tactics is my usual default gift because it is so self contained and a great 1v1 experience.

The gift for my Santee Number 1* has been deployed and should arrive sometime between next Tuesday and Thursday. *Number 1 according to Leperflesh's bookkeeping, I love all my Santees equally.

My sentry yoshi squad alerted me that a mysterious package arrived! Fortunately it was labeled. How...mysterious. It could be a trap but it could be adorable. Only one way to find out.  Adorable it is! And Krysmbot has a new companion.

I successfully guessed the contents just from the pun in the tag. Excellently done. Hopefully Krysm will share and let me play too.

Hey. Hey. You know what you should do? Yeah, you, reading the thread. You know what you oughta do? You should sign up for the Lightning Bonus Round. You miss the initial gift exchange? You want another present? You feel like taking a chance on making me donate to the charity of your choice? Then sign up for the Lightning Bonus round and all your problems will be solved!

I love seeing what other gifts people get. I hadn't heard of Takenoko before, but looking at it now it seems really great!Kai Tave posted:Hey. Hey. You know what you should do?

I've been considering it, but waiting to see how things shake out with exchange rates and whether or not an irresponsible black friday order I made can be cancelled before it gets shipped

Takenoko is a fantastically chill game that works really well with people who aren't, like, super hardcore boardgamers but it's still got a nice, puzzle-like sense of challenge.

Okay, I'm home. As promised, a picture of my loot! Two games I've heard a lot of good stuff about, but never had a chance to try out. Huzzah! I'll probably join in on the lightning round, but not until after I mail off my first secret santa shipment tomorrow.

I'll definitely update it for the lightning round. Do you have the requisite D6s for Fiasco? It needs two different colors of dice, and 2 of each color for player. (Ex. 4 players would need a total of 8 white and 8 black dice. [Or whatever colors]) Also, not sure if Amazon printed my gift message; if you like Fiasco, there's over 30 more playsets available for free on their website. And on Age of Rebellion, there's a sequel adventure to the one in the box on FFG's website, plus two more character folios to support 6 players.

LIGHTNING BONUS ROUND 1 IS NOW CLOSED! We have six goons exchanging seven presents in this round (one goon is doubling up), but it's been (over) a full week, so it's time to get this one going. Round 1 goons, I'll be sending out the emails for your assignments over the next half hour or so! LIGHTNING BONUS ROUND 2 IS NOW OPEN! given the rate at which we did not fill up round 1, I do not know if this round will fill either. But, it still happens if at least three goons jump in! For the full rules on the lightning bonus round, see the OP, and the post about round 1. Even if you already participated in a previous round, you still need to send an email to sign up. I use these emails to help keep track of santee assignments, communications about specific gift exchanges, delivery issues, etc. e. round 1 emails are all sent.

An update: Drivethrurpg still a bunch of dumbasses, gifts are a pain. My Santa has corrected, and now in addition to the aforementioned Cosmic Patrol, I am the proud owner of these additional fine products!   I am thrilled and excited to have three new RPGs and a supplement to devour and plot campaigns that will sadly(?) likely never get played.  Thank you Secret Santa, whoever you are. (My gift is in the city where my Santee lives, scheduled for delivery tomorrow.)

I assume there is a goon waiting on me to post my gift I received! I have thoughts and a picture to post but that will come later tonight when I'm not at work. I have been horribly sick through thanksgiving and am now on the mend due to large amounts of antibiotics. I took a quick picture last night on my iPad and fell asleep. I promise to post tonight while I wrap my santees presents.

Gift deployed. I asked the vendor to send it directly to my Santee. I also asked them to include a note saying that it was a SA Secret Santa gift but they might not do that. So, if anyone receives a random box from Perry Miniatures that they don't recall ordering, then it's probably from me.

I also had the vendor send my gift straight to the Santee as they live very, very far away from me so if you get a random Amazon package it's from me. Speaking of which, I got a random Amazon Package! I asked for books and I got a tingling feeling it's gonna be good.   It's perfect.

I missed the main round and the first lightning round, but I'm game for Lightning Round 2! Gift Preferences: I pretty much stick to wargames and other minis these days. Board games are also cool. The more unique and/or interesting, the better! I'm deploying in January, so nothing to crazy/huge/whatever. Nothing too anime-ish, it's just not my thing. Anything else is fair game! General Location: Colorado, USA. I Solemnly Vow to not only not-Grinch this up, but get my gift out Lightning Quick! NovaLion fucked around with this message at 16:49 on Dec 1, 2016 |
