:dance: So excited!

Gift Preferences: I'd prefer physical games or books. GM tools are good too! I have some Blue Dungeon Tiles, but that's about it, and I'm usually the one GM'ing. Please don't send me any more PDFs, I have too many by now, so they're getting a bit hard to keep track of! You can see my wishlist at CoolStuffInc.com here and my DriveThruRPG.com wishlist here for some ideas of what I like, but honestly my favorite stuff I received last year were things not even on my radar, so if you think of something you think is awesome that I haven't listed, feel free to send it my way because I'll probably think it's awesome too!

Pastebin of stuff I own!

I'd prefer not to get minis, I think. I like the idea of mini-based wargames, but I'm never going to have the time to put them together or paint them, so they'll sadly just sit there, unused.

Location: I live in San Francisco, California, USA.

Solemn Vow: This'll be my second time doing the TGSS. Last year I ordered my santee's gift on Black Friday and had it sent out quickly, and also participated in a lightning round. I promise that I'll have awesome gifts for my santee(s) this year!

Holy crap.

So I had the idea to run my own Secret Santa for some of my friends (13 people in total, including myself), and good lord, "herding cats" doesn't accurately explain the cajoling I had to do just to get people's addresses and what they wanted. Made a Facebook event, everyone joined but nobody followed the directions. Made a post in the event explaining what I needed, a couple of people gave it. Eventually had to directly message everyone else individually to extract the info from them.

But now assignments are out and I just have to sit back and nervously wonder who isn't going to get their presents wait.

So yeah, I've gained an extraordinary amount of respect for Leperflesh not just for running this, but for doing it several years in a row!

Also, thanks Not So Secret Santa Spincut! I received my copy of The Hobbit: Over Hill and Under Hill (expansion for the Lord of the Rings LCG), and Coup, which looks like a really cool fast-paced game (plays in 15 minutes!).

Along with my Steam game this is a pretty sweet pile of loot. You are a good goon.

Sweet! Glad you like them!

I like Coup. It's a great, quick little game and it works well with a wide range of players. So hopefully you like it too!

I'm very happy that my gift was well enjoyed :toot: (and I honestly have no idea how secret I should keep who it was that I gifted to :v: )

Basically, be as secretive or not as you want to be. If you want to say, "Hey [Goon X], that was me, glad you liked it!" Go ahead. If you want to keep it a mystery, then do that instead!

My lightning round 1 gifts are away! One should arrive on Thursday and the other will come on Friday.

I need to check my finances to see if I can do Lightning Round 2, but I'll shoot off an email if I can.

EDIT: Ah, what the hell, I'll sign up. Original post is here!

Thanks Santa, you are awesome! I've been wanting to try out X-Wing for about a year, and I'm partway through rereading Necromancer so the need to Netrunner is high again :)

Hey, that was me! Glad you like them!

(Also, I realize this is the second time I've bought something by Fantasy Flight for secret santa. I swear I'm not a FFG plant)

You're welcome! Mostly I'm just glad that incredibly bad package made it there intact. This is what happens when it's late at night and you realize the packing materials available to you are bubblewrap, an old LP mailer, and gaff tape.

Orkish Package Engineering is a hell of a thing.

Also, apologies to my Lightning Round 2 santee, but I'm not going to be able to get a gift to you until next week. I'll try to make it extra special though!

I'm gonna wait until I send out my current santee's gifts to sign up for the Lightning Round 3, so if signups are still up on Monday I'll do it then.

The round should have closed yesterday, but we only had two goons in it. I can hold it open till Monday at the latest, if you promise to sign up!

This is going to be the last lightning bonus round this year, because running a fourth would put us too close to christmas for reasonable shipping costs.

I promise to sign up on Monday!

Well, I could sign up today, but I won't be able to get prezzies out until Monday.

Also, a note to my Lightning Round 3 Santa, I'll be going out of town on Saturday (and coming back the 27th), so if my present arrives after that, my housemate can confirm that it arrived, and I can post pics and stuff once I get back.

I accidentally tore into everything before taking a picture, but my Lightning Round Santa gift arrived!

The Star Wars theme continued in wonderful fashion, with The Star Wars LCG and a Z-95 Headhunter for X-Wing. The latter has already joined up with the rest of his squadron on my shelf.

My housemate informed me that a box arrived today and took pictures for me!

Lost Legacy!


7 Wonders: Babel!


And notes!...containing a goon's real name so let's not post them! But one says there's something else coming the 23rd?! Maybe they were supposed to come separately but they got boxed together.

Also, since my cat is here with my mom in Washington and my gifts are back home in California, I'm going to cheat and give you a cat pic.


Thanks Vidmaster!!
