Reaper has strayed more into the budget end of things of late, but these are some primo detailed sculpts cast in metal and they look great! Now to plan a one-shot around some mouseling adventurers. I can easily see it turn into more depending on how attached people get to their characters

by.a.teammate posted:Oh just you wait 😉 Oh, so I'm taking it you're the fabulous fellow responsible for all this  So much stuff in the mystery box! Sand check out that card! Some gatchas! These are really neat! I particularly like the mushroom ring, though my fingers are a bit big (I'm blaming the mushroom itself), might need to modify it slightly.  Supreme blue rose! This sounds really cool! And the wet hot American summer rpg! It is bizarre that this exists!  Thanks so so much, this is far too much. You rock not-so-secret Santa!

reinforcements from Mars!  thank you Santa! I will bash dem kits. I also received word today that my package has finally shipped, somewhat belatedly. I was hoping it would arrive a bit sooner in time to the half of my gift I mailed myself, but hey, better late than never. sorry for the delay, it sort of spoils the effect.

Because I'm the super-sekrit Secret Santa! I tried sending you hot sauce in a grenade-shaped bottle too, but that got bounced for some reason. Glad the other stuff came through, and that you like them!

Hey again, Bubble - let me know if you want to contact Amazon or if I should. If I do, one of the questions is if the box was also damaged. Let me know, and you'll probably need to mail it back or drop it at a Kohl's. Thanks!

A mysterious package arrived, interrupting Jobke's naps time. She was not impressed. But I was impressed by what the package contained: a copy of Hanabi (a family favorite), a John Carter 2d20 sourcebook, and an beautiful Yoshitaka Amano art book! All really cool stuff!

I was worried you might already have Hanabi, but it was worth the risk as it's so inexpensive. I'm sure you'll find a good home for it. I was very paranoid everything would get there, as I used amazon.nl and I sure can't read Dutch. Google did its best translating the page, but it didn't translate any of the text on any buttons, so it was a lot of fun trying to decide which button was "pay for my order" and which button was "delete everything" and which button was "give Bezos extra money for Ultra Super Prime and also sign up for an Amazon credit card".

Santa's secret has been received! A+ presentation  This is my favorite kind of RPG, one I know nothing about! Looking forward to digging in to it.  The Dangly mug is so nice that... regrettably I must admit I already have one.  I'll make sure this one goes to a good home though. Many thanks Santa(secret)!

Haha aw poo poo. Sorry about the mug. I wanted to get you a cool RPG and a Hams thing, but I'm so disconnected from WH at this point I couldn't possibly find you a worthwhile present for the game itself. At least you should enjoy Malice, based on your OP. It's a very neat little game! Merry Christmas.

At this rate, I'm going to be one of the last presents - maybe the last present, to ship. How embarrassing! ...but I need to let the BLO cure properly before I can put on finish, so... nothing to be done. I'll make sure it arrives by the deadline, regardless.

Yup. Postal workers are "essential workers" and so they basically have to work even in heavily impacted areas, and worker protections for them are often inadequate. It's a good thing that they can't come back to work until they've tested negative, and also a good thing that they don't get docked pay. If 0.1% of workers milk that system, that is neither an indictment of the system itself, nor of postal workers and their union. This also ignores the many news reports that total shipping volume is higher than usual across the board. More people are staying home for christmas so they're mailing their presents more. Your mail is taking longer because there's more mail.

Leperflesh posted:Your mail is taking longer because there's more mail. I'm sure the fact that they literally dragged outside and smashed sorting machines to gently caress with the election isn't helping either! It's like a perfect storm of delays, and frankly good on USPS for getting it done as well as they are

Sorting machines handle envelopes, not packages, but yep. e. as far as I know, and I should say that's based on some outdated info because it's been a long time since I worked at UPS. Maybe those fix-rate standardized boxes USPS uses can also be machine-sorted. I doubt it though. Packages tend to jam in any automated system.
