Professional zombie impersonator.
Sorry for cutting it close, but both main round gifts have been shipped with alleged arrival dates of this Saturday.

Of course, the special wrapping paper I got for Santee #1 arrived right after I finished boxing everything up. When they receive their box, I'll post it and they can pretend everything was wrapped with that.

Sounta knocked it out of the park :swoon:



I am a massive massive hidden movement fan, and this one was on my To Buy list for Christmas.
ooooh I'm very excited about getting this to the table

Hidden movement shelf looking jam packed :allears:


And a card!

Are you happy now?
Something just got delivered but I had to leave it to get a COVID test.



Came back after 2 hours and I open it and find this:



Just what is needed in these times: A Plague Doctor, his bandit buddies and a camping site to isolate myself for a day while waiting for results. Will be perfect for The Silver Bayonet and Rangers of Shadow Deep. Also works for clutter for Oathmark and Bolt Action. Thank you Santa!

Glad it hit the mark - I had Rangers in mind when I was picking things, but happy to hear it'll have some wider utility too!

Sorry for my abysmal penmanship, I touch computers for a living and so the ancient art of handwriting is forever lost to me. ;)

Hope you have a blast with it, Merry Christmas!

Two items of cheer arrived! Firstly, a deck-building game about building the best fort, with pizza and toys!



And what's in that neatly-wrapped package?



Why an expansion pack that adds cats and dogs! So of course it had to be inspected by Sinister, just in case a real cat had snuck in with it.

Then came a knock-knock-knocking on my door again, this time bringing–

–shut it, Ramba.



This is indeed a Zaku! With a light-up eye.

It shall guard the cheer from all comers, at least until a Gundam shows up.





These are both fantastic gifts, and I can't wait to get Fort to the table.

Thank you, Santas! Thantas!

Cheers mate, I absolutely can't wait to play it - my players and I are fiends for hidden movement.

The card was lovely as well, and greatly appreciated.

This was I for LR5! Merry Christmas mate.

You looked like you enjoyed cards and quick light games, and Fort is a cheeky little drafting game with a LOT of charm to it that doesn't overstay its welcome.

I have not grabbed the expansion myself, but now you have the complete set because it's Christmas!

I have also confirmed that the second box was actually NOT involved in this, so just one gift in that post.

Also also, the first part (of two) of my LR5 gift has arrived per Amazon, but I haven't seen a post, so I hope they delivered it to the right place :ohdear:

Received a mystery box in the mail and inside was a solo or coop adventure-type RPG game!



Played a bit and it feels very much like an adventure book but more open-ended, which is awesome.

I think this is the second part Nemesis Of Moles was talking about so thank you! I love these types of games!

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.

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!

I'm so glad these got to you (and that you like them)! The leather case is locally produced and I figure every gamer needs pretty dice.

With the USPS being what it is lately, I figured invoking a godlike entity for delivery assistance couldn't hurt...

OK, I think I get the joke now, which is that everyone is getting me



Treemen! Lots and lots of treemen, so I have a forest of treemen. There might be some witty pun involved too, but if so I can't see the forest for the treemen.

But this treeman came bearing gold!



Burning Wheel Gold! (that's my Santa's joke)



Thanks Santa moths!

You all get a hearty groan. Thanks for your elaborate scheme. I must have ended up on Santa's naughty list to have been punished so.

I got another package, too, with no trees involved, although it still lets me point the finger at you for that joke, because I can

A package came today! In it were two fancy bags.



Kaya is inspecting them, in case they're full of dog treats.



Jorji Costava, meanwhile, is just annoyed his perch has been stolen from him.



A board game and its expansion, you say? What could it be?



Photosynthesis! I played this a couple times at a board game gathering and really enjoyed it! I'm super happy to have this added to my collection and look forward to playing it with my wife.



Jorji, however, is just happy to have the high ground back.

Thanks, so much, Lightning Round 5 Santa! Unpacking, punching, and assembling everything was a much better use of my time then whatever I was supposed to be doing for work this afternoon.

I came down stairs and found a package! It wasn't for me! The FedEx guy rang the doorbell and asked for it back! A few minutes later the UPS guy rang the doorbell and I found a package! It was for me!


It's Azul and an expansion for it! I'm really excited to play this in real life since I've only ever done TTS for it. Thanks Santa!
