I am in, yes indeed!

Gift Preferences

Yes please!

-Though I really prefer physical books, digital items are also good. POD is fine, I find Drive Thru's stuff quite acceptable.
-Tabletop RPGs: I am not into super-crunchy systems, my style leans more towards 'storygaming' and rules-lite. Most of what I am currently enjoying is PbtA stuff and similar, though I am prepping a Changeling: the Lost game and running Blue Rose. That's about as rules-heavy as I'll go. Definitely no D&D. I like little indie systems done well and have a smattering of those. Generally speaking I run modern fantasy/horror and pulpy superhero games.

What I have picked up most recently: Better Angels, Don't Rest Your Head, Dread, Kingdom of Nothing, Murderous Ghosts, Ocean, Spookybeans, The Demolished Ones, The Final Girl, Polaris, Breaking The Ice, Dogs In The Vineyard, Baron Munchausen, Inspectres, My Life With Master, Octane, Puppetland, Little Fears, Sorceror, Monsters and Other Childish Things, The Shadow of Yesterday, Trollbabe, Universalis, Dungeon World, Apocalypse World, Monsterhearts, World Wide Wrestling, Magical Fury, Feng Shui 2, Night Witches, Monster of the Week First Edition, The Quiet Year, The Deep Forest. I also backed Blades In The Dark, Masks and Fellowship.

-Party games are very good as I have almost none. I do not need anything Cards Against Humanity. The current favorites are the One Night Ultimate Werewolf/Vampire games and Love Letter.
-I enjoy Arkham Horror but I have no expansions.
-Dice are always welcome, especially d6s. I have a dice bag, but it doesn't come close to holding everything I need.
-Movies are very much my groove! I love them! Especially terrible movies (ie. The Room, Birdemic), horror of all types, fantasy and obscure weirdness. I will watch pretty much anything.
-Food is acceptable, no allergies here. Nerdy cooking supplies are also cool-I have a d20 cake form, but not much else by way of kitchen nerdery.
-Handmade things are awesome and I like them very much.
-Atmospheric music is also great.
-I am lacking in cheap little plastic army men and similar, since my dogs got into the gaming box and ate a few of them (no patience, time or storage space for actual models, we just use random toys to lay out our combats when we need to).
-I like video games too, especially pokemon because I am a child in a woman's body.
-Weird, cool, random stuff would be very welcome.

No thank you
-Anime/Manga
-Zombie anything
-Dr. Who/Supernatural/Sherlock
-Exploding Kittens
-Munchkin anything
-Novels
-Models/figures that require a ton of maintenance, storage and painting. If it would pain you to see it under a pile of notebooks in a tupperware bin, it won't fare well with me.
-Card games like Magic
-Though I'm sure they're very meaningful to someone, dongs and maggoty anything are not needed at this time.

General Location: :canada:, in the middle somewhere.

Solem Vow: I swear on my dice and my spreadsheets and all other things I value, I will gift the hell out of someone. I will not be a weirdo and avoid this thread, and I will absolutely post when I get a thing.

Well, something is causing a great deal of consternation around here.



Let's unwrap it!



Thanks Santa/w00tmonger! I am absolutely going to put some poor unfortunate troubleshooters through the wringer ASAP!

Edit: My package will be going out tomorrow, just had to pick up the last couple things today!

My first round gift was half recieved, and I have just now found the card that was supposed to accompany the second half of said gift, which was due to be delivered today. So LLSix, if some giftwrapped snacky foods have shown up at your house, those were from me. My lightning round gift hasn't shipped yet, but it was ordered Friday so it should go out soon!

Nothing yet today but packages are often delivered to the office after end of hours so I'll check tomorrow.

Alrighty. It seems to have vanished upon reaching the border, so hopefully it is still safely on its way. If you don't see it by the end of the week, I'll fix you up with something else. My lightning round gift also shipped today, so right now it's a race!



Meanwhile, this arrived amidst all of the other Christmas that was heading my way. Thanks, santa, I've had my eye on Space Alert for awhile now!

Hi there TGSS nerds! LIGHTNING BONUS ROUND 4 emails are awaaay!

It's too close to christmas to run another round, so that's gonna be it for this year. All told, when everything is delivered (and there are no grinches), we'll have exchanged 115 gifts! Awesome!

It's time to start putting a fire under a few goon's butts, though. Today is Thursday, December 17th (unless you're in australia, in which case it's already friday the 18th). You have about one week to get your gifts delivered to your Santees. If you haven't already sent them, you probably can't send a gift using ordinary basic postage any more. You can still get stuff delivered on time using Amazon Prime, or using an upgraded shipping option. Check your shipper's special holiday schedule, and then realize that the dates they give are not contractual promises, just estimates, so add a little padding to that!

Here's the info for the USPS, who say that standard post will not get there in time; you can use first-class mail through the 19th (so add a day or two to that and get first class shipped TODAY), Priority Mail shipped by the 21st (call it the 20th), and Priority Express shipped by the 23rd (call it the 22nd, and for gently caress's sake don't leave it that late). Costs for something bigger than an envelope skyrocket as you climb up the priority ladder, but that's on you for waiting so long, procrastinator!

Here's UPS's shipping calendar for the US
Here's the last days to ship for FedEx US

I'm listing every goon whose status isn't "delivered" below. If your name is in bold, then I want to hear from you pronto. Otherwise, this is a bookkeeping exercise and you're probably OK.

Since my tracking from Canada Post has failed me, I've fired off a replacement item to LLSix which has guaranteed pre-xmas delivery and tracking. Current status of the lighting round is halfway to destination, so I'm not worried about that one. :)

WereJace is a rad Santa who totally came through despite the first gift mysteriously disappearing upon reaching the totally ethical USA customs agents.

I got some sweet toppings!


To go with some sweet games!



Thank you WereJace!

That is actually the original package, so I'm happy you got it! The replacement snacks should have arrived today too!

The letter that got left out explained the sauce and jelly a little better-both of those products are made by some good buddies and fellow gamers around these parts, and they're regular additions to our game night snacks.

Hurray, the replacement part two came through too! I hope you enjoyed everything!
