I got presents!





that's really generous, rydiafan. Thank you very much! My wife and I are both looking forward to trying these out. I've been meaning to pick up some version of Codenames for years, just never got around to it, so that's definitely going to work, and solving mysteries sounds like a fun time too.

I'll Fetch My Sarcasm Robes
Last component of Santee Primes gift has been delivered, I'll wrap it up and ship it off this weekend.

Lightning Round gift has been ordered but Amazon Global didn't have any gift options so I hope they enjoy getting a random package with no indication of what its for.

Is there going to be a lightning round 3?

You've got a third gift coming, but I'm getting conflicting ETAs.

Also, there's apparently lots of Community made scenarios for CoC, so if you like it you should check out the files section of its Board Game Geek entry.

Further cheer has arrived! And it's beautifully wrapped



I almost didn't want to open it, I wanted to stick it under a tree, wait for the snow to fall and the robins to sing and a dodgy fat bloke in a red suit to climb down my nonexistent chimney, as he takes a break from startling young children...

then I remembered I have no impulse control whatsoever.





Thank you so much, Santa! That's incredible, I'm blown away. I can't wait to get this on the table.

I really hope you enjoy this, I've heard very good things about it as a game. It looked like you liked scifi games and who doesn't love a bit of Dune.

Holy poo poo, I almost missed this! I want to participate!

Gift Preference:
Handmade stuff, weird obscure stuff, old stuff.

If you're buying something new, pretty much anything that falls under the Traditional Games umbrella is fine. Random RPG books, random euro games, random Ameritrash games, random miniatures, whatever. As long as you don't buy me something like Munchkin I'm happy.

Edit: if you're the kind of person who prefers to know exactly what to buy somebody, I could use Negation Angels, Negators, Void Archons, or Death Archons which are models for the game Warmachine.

Gift Preferences
I enjoy both sci-fi and fantasy genre books, delicious snacks, and interesting things. Steam games also appreciated, though I prefer there be a physical component of the gift since I like opening presents. :v

Also while TTRPG stuff is appreciated, I'll likely never use it, be it boardgames or rulebooks. No local games or gamers for me, alas.

Reports of a monolith rampaging through Melbourne appear to be true!

A team of adventurers have ventured inside its strange architecture, and unearthed treasure and danger from across the Tasman Sea.



A blessed tower of good rolling (currently flattened) and a dangerous mimic capable of devouring two decks of cards in one bite (not to be used for.

Are you happy now?
Seeing as Gift #1 arrived I now feel a bit more confidence of doing another round. Is Lighting Round 3(?) still open?

Gift Preferences:
- Something British/Australian early war 28mm miniatures for Bolt Action. I am about to start building an army for Bolt Action for action in Libya 1940/Greece/Crete. British BEF 1940 would work just as well as seeing as they all look the same or 8th army later. I have nothing so far, so anything will do.
- Army Painter paints suitable for painting Commonwealth units in 1940-42 in the BEF/North Africa/Greece. Think light brown/sand/Khaki/Dark Brown (I have the wash set already).
- A book on the Greek campaign, or the Australian 6th Division (between 1940-45). I really need some painting guides too if there's such a thing for the Greek campaign.
- Terrain suitable for 28mm desert warfare.

General Location: Melbourne, Australia (but happy to order for someone overseas because it will come from somewhere in the same country).

Solemn Vow: You have it. Done it once so far.

Edit- Email sent.

Really hope you guys get into this. I saw you played a few dudes on a map games and this is a really good one of them. I don’t know what edition it is so all I would say is please check the Woodland Alliance board and see if it’s the updated one.

Tomorrow, doom!
But now, tea.
Lightning Round 2 cheer has been dispatched, ETA Thursday 9th. Once again no gift options so it'll be a MYSTERIOUS PACKAGE.

The restriction on gift options this year is proving to be a pain. If we weren't all receiving such a lovely Brexit Dividend(TM) in the British postal system, I'd really prefer to include some sort of gift card or just a cheery note. In previous years I used to include silly letters and I'm saddened that I can't toss those in this year.

I'm glad you liked it. As soon as I read the crazy dice, I thought of those then ran out and bought it from my LGS. The minis were super cool, honestly I like the noodly Boi on the right there the most. I saw these too, but I couldn't afford it at the time:

When you see it, you'll shit yourself.


So I got an unexpected package waiting for me when I came back home after a long day, arriving back at 11am (thankfully I think my neighbours were there to put it in the shared area, so it was safe!).

And I got an awesome assortment of gifts! Heart, basically the dungeon-crawling sequel of one of my favourite games, Spire, an hexboard with stickers for the same, and a murder-scree pin from Final Fantasy XIV!



Just this haul made me really happy, but there was also a card! A card with, strangely enough, a sticker with the axe that I use for my FFXIV character. A nice touch, I thought.

What I wasn't ready for, though, was the real gift that I hadn't seen yet:



Custom art of my FFXIV, in one of the glams that I regularly use on her. Which just blew me away. Just the best Secret Santa gift I've ever gotten. I'm not kidding. I'm just left speechless. My santa really went above and beyond.
(also you either are in my FC or you did a really deep dive in the FFXIV thread, but either way, incredible)

Wasn't me, but I think they probably just did post history and filtered by posts you made in the thread, then went to most recent. It looks like a really good rendition too!

In a more on topic question: where are we at for LR3 signups?

Not including either of you, we have four people signed up for LR3. It will kick off either when we get at least 8, or on December 8th (one week after LR2 kicked off), whichever comes first.

e. The Bloop is all signed up, so we're at 5 now.
