When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

Arrived home from work to find an.unexpected box!

And inside,



some boardgame component bowls (which fold flat) that I'd already been eyeing off in a store, and a cool dice case with matching tray!

Thanks LR TGSS!

That's the dice case - it has that foam, and a few layers of firmer foam without holes that can be cut to fit other dice (I think)!

Holiday joy arrived at my doorstep today!



This delightful wolf...fox...thing just screams "HOLIDAY JOY IS MANDATORY!!!!" What's inside, you ask?



My Santa certainly delivered! My gaming crew had just been discussing how we'd like to pick up Gloomhaven again! And what is that next to it?



A neat tiny dungeon-crawler! This should be fun to pack on my trips.

There's a chance half of it won't arrive in time because some companies don't believe in shipping estimates.

I chose well then :v:

A box from Milsims arrived on my door today, the same time my box from Milsims to UrbanLabyrinth was delivered per tracker notification, and I momentarily paniced thinking they had accidentally mailed it to the billing address.



Fortunately it was weird coincidence, and instead I got two whole armies of awesome 15mm WW2 mans to paint and play with, thanks Santa!

Thank you, mysterious benefactor goon

Yay they finally arrived!

Shoutout to our fellow Goon that runs the Unnatural One Etsy store. He was super easy to shoot ideas back and forth with and even bumped me the top of the priority list to ensure it got sent out in time.

I didn't know you'd be getting bonus die and hamsas, that rules. The big-dice box is intended to be done up as a hi-viz vest, hence the color and orange strip going down the middle.

I had asked if he could 3D print some tiny hard hats and put them in there but the color we were running with is too opaque for that work.

Hope you enjoy them, and if they ever roll under a couch or something they should be extremely easy to locate!

edit-
Oh, by the way, per Unnatural One: "It also has fluorescence under UV (doesn't glow in the dark and despite my phone it's actually glowing yellow)"


Maybe one a once-over with a Geiger counter on these things. They apparently defy the capability of cameras to capture their true image.

My holiday cheer arrived earlier this week but I finally had a chance to sit down and unbox!



I’ve played a lot of Splendor on Steam, so I’m stoked to have a physical copy that I can bring as a palate cleanser on game night. I dig a game that seems simple, but can get surprisingly cut throat.

Thanks Santa Goon!

Hey, glad you like it! I looked for some good dexterity-y games but I couldn't find anything that wasn't stinking Pre-Order or out of stock, they're big this year! I'm also in awe at the size of that lad, the copies they have at my walmart are like the size of a hardcover book.

My lightning round is severely stressing me out, it STILL hasn't shipped (I am never touching Etsy for time sensitive materials again for as long as I live), so if I don't get a shipping notification by tomorrow, my Santee is gonna get a gift certificate for Miniature Market as an apology. I'll still let the package ship and not demand a refund or anything, think of it as a bonus for your bonus, but I'm not holding my breath it'll arrive on time. This is seriously Grinching my holiday. :\

Glad you like everything! Managed to find JotL for half off so Tin Helm found it's way into the box too :toot:

Glad you like them! There was a bewildering world of terrain available I swear didn’t exist back in my (2nd and 3rd edition) 40K days. Also this is part one...part two will arrive when FedEx decides to drop it off (hopefully by Wednesday though).

I'm so excited but loving nervous for my people to get their gifts. Like...
This is such a cool thing. The secret Santa. Exciting but nerve racking

There was a package in my mailbox! Apparently it's been there for a few days, because the carrier hand delivered my mail yesterday due to a certified letter and the day before was Sunday. I must've just missed it in the mailbox Saturday.



Oh, Q was involved. Nevermind, he probably just sent it backwards through time to gently caress with me and my Santa. Through Q all things are possible, so jot that down.



Inside was a super nice leather case full of...



Metal dice with white faces and rainbow trim!



The camera doesn't really do justice the how bright the edges are and how the color shifts in the light. They're super cool!

Thanks, Gau!

Oooh, look what came in the mail for me today:


Gift included:
1. Absolutely awesome leather dice bag
2. 3 mini painting brushes
3. A really nice set of D&D dice
4. 3 mini paints
5. A fantastic blue dragon miniature
6. A large and invaluable gemstone (not pictured, it's already in my safety deposit box at the bank)

This is exactly what I needed to get me back into mini painting, plus no home is complete without a set of dice. You are awesome Santa and this couldn't have been a better gift!

Got two boxes!

First box:



Better "Wach" out, there's a spooky ghost!

Second box:



This time it's a spooky scary skeleton. And a spooky scary agony uncle!

I think these are different santas, since they have different order numbers, but I don't know. So thank you, Santa or Santas! I am going to have one heck of a famous bench for any undead team between these and Hedningen's Franky!

I still don't get this running joke thing, but I'm guessing it has to do with undead and nature. Un-natural?

I'm also not sure if that Heresy Rising book earlier was part of this or not.

I got another gift! Double lucky day for me!



I've never heard of this before, which is awesome! Doing some research online it looks like this is the fourth edition of a RPG from the early 90s that leans into horror in the draining, unsettling form rather than goofy fun jumpscares with werewolves. I'm very excited to read this, because it seems like exactly the kind of thing that will be a fascinating book to peruse even if I never get to play it.



Plus, look at this artwork! It's like if Guillermo del Toro did the concept art for Bloodborne.



This picture isn't upside-down, it's like that in the book. Stylistic as all heck. I'm getting flashbacks to reading Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark under my blanket when I was 10 years old.

Thanks so much, Scary Santa!

You are very welcome sir! That is the first bonus round btw

That is the 1st RPG I ever played and even 20 some years later I vividly recall some amazing campaigns I played with just really indepth crazy things that occurred and legit character growth

I was so nervous picking that out for someone so I'm glad your digging the artwork! Really a great dark setting

I can totally understand. This seems to be very boundary-pushing and not for everyone. That said, I like they way they handle it. I actually captured part of the section about the social contract in my last photo above, where they talk about having a safe word/signal, and the players giving the GM a confidential list of triggering topics that are off limits. It allows for challenging content without making an unpleasant situation.

Alrighty, updates!

My Santee's package has arrived as of yesterday according to USPS.

My own gifts have arrived!



Junior inspector Shifu is busy inspecting all the closets in our new house for the millionth time, now that he's pretty sure the ceiling fans aren't after him. I had to bring packages to senior inspector Po, who I guess will get to it someday.



Somehow a note that is both very revealing but also mysterious. Love the owl paper!

Since the big day is quite near and it will be the first time babies can help tear things apart, I'll be holding off on opening them until Xmas. Thanks very much to my Santa. One is almost certainly a movie, which I look forward to inflicting on/delighting my family.

Merry Goonmas, Goons and all!
