Lined up like that, it's quite a lot! Machi Koro is a game I've been curious about. Forbidden Island is a game I can play with jivjov, a bunch of Sailor Moon stickers I can give to my now-wife, some collectable coins I'll probably regift to my dad who actually collects coins, and some trinkets from the National Airforce Armament Museum! Many thanks Toyota Thong!

If there's still a lightning round going, I can join in now. I haven't had the best year, but I have beavered away at my minis anyway, the full list of what I have is here Also, my boardgame collection is here I can't see a way to share my small RPG collection like above, but I have Apocalypse World 2nd, everything from the FATE Core kickstarter, Fragged Aeternum/Empire/Seas, Tiny Frontiers, Innocents, Hunt The Wicked, Inverse World, Legacy 2nd, and Corporia, because sometimes I don't know why I back things on KS and sometimes they just throw extra books at me. I'm happy to get anything personalised, DTRPG stuff, any boardgames you think I might like, any minis that fill a hole in an army you think you've seen on that spreadsheet. If you're familiar with my KoW armies (Ogres in the field, Elves and Nature still in boxes), and you've found a mini you think will go great in it, that's cool too. Star Wars X-Wing and Armada ships I don't already have are a good way to go if you're stuck as well. I also build hobby kits, 1/35 for armour (will all be too expensive unles you find a sale), 1/48 for fighters to medium planes, and 1/72 for large bombers, plus Gundams are always fun. Location is  so I'll provide Leperflesh with a list of local stores if you want to avoid international shipping costs and timeframes.I solemnly swear to deliver for another goon better than this year has delivered for me

Leperflesh posted:Today is December 9th! The following people as far as I know or can glean, have not shipped a gift yet: I shipped mine and posted about it December 1st, but I can see how it could have gotten lost where I also posted about receiving a gift and asked about Lightning Round 2 on the same day  Niemat posted:Packages deployed, and my santee should receive his gift Sunday! And my Santee has received his gifts Not Keyser Soze posted:Woops sorry for the delay, Yay!! I don’t have kids, and I don’t spend a lot of time with kids, but the internet leads me to believe those are both very good beginning strategy games. One of them is co-op and one is competitive, so I thought that might be a good way to mix things up and keep your little dude interested! Mystic Mongol posted:Niemat claims to have sent out a gift on December 1st. And to have received a gift on the same day. And that pictures will come later. And it's been like a week where are the goddamn pictures. ...also, I’m a bad Santee, and I have not yet posted pics of my gifts (I received a second one yesterday!), but those pictures are coming...

Niemat posted:I shipped mine and posted about it December 1st, but I can see how it could have gotten lost where I also posted about receiving a gift and asked about Lightning Round 2 on the same day Oh! Yes, what happened was, I missed that you'd sent a gift. And, since Not Keyser Soze is a dreaded DOUBLE-GIFTER, and didn't mention the name or Santa # of the sender, I misattributed your gifts to him to his other santa! This is the sort of confusion that I run into with these annoying super-generous multi-gifting goons. Anyway that's sorted now, and thanks for clearing it up. Also: since we have NTRabbit interested, if you're also still interested, please send a sign-up email for LIGHTNING BONUS ROUND 2. We need 1 more participant in order to fill the round: anyone want in? Bearing in mind NTRabbit is in Australia and Niemat is in the US, but in both cases a goon could buy a gift from an in-country retailer to avoid shipping costs and delays.

Thank you Santa! I received the best gift! And a very insightful note to boot. Trying to shoot bombers at night with all this tech and aircraft is going to be awesome! Many many thanks!  I can't seem to get the picture to work in the post preview but it's Nightfighter by GMT  URL cos it deserves showing off: https://imgur.com/a/MOZeP Another edit: this is the same guy who made Downtown!

I wasn't in work for a few days and when I got back I had a package. Rather than open it in work and risk a dildo-y surprise that would require a trip to/awkward conversation with HR, I waited until I got home. What greeted me was two green bags, one of which contained a copy of the android netrunner core set. I got a game of it as Jinteki in already and got hammered so maybe if I look into one of the expansions and then oh god there goes all my money   Another green bag contained a copy of Grant Morrison's Zenneth. I'd never heard of this but it's right up my alley of weird 80s comics and Grant Morrison at his 'interdimensional nazis are coming to take over your brain'   Awesome stuff

Gideon Ravenor is a terrible catte inspector. Little blighter has no interest in boxes. Still, got him to take a quick look at the one. So what's inside?  Haha! That's ideal! Lots of Plague Marine bits, bionic legs for my Heresy guys, even a set of female heads! I'd been wondering how to customize my Escher gang, those will do the job very nicely. Thank you so much mysterious goon, and have a very happy Christmas! Seriously Gideon, how do you still have a job?

I'm just speculating here, but I feel that's because Santa #1 is an idiot at packing. I'm sure that moron used a ton of packaging material, only to have the package still rattle in the end. Just some weirdly specific feeling I have here. Also my guts are telling me that there's another gift coming, just on the slower lane of the post ways.

Oh poo poo! A package! Thank you secret santa. I asked for an eclectic and unique things and you performed far beyond my most hopeful of expectations. The pen case is beautiful and the keychain is adorable. I look forward to reading the storygame book while snacking on some pocky and checking out this mysterious film. Thank you very much for making this month magical.

A second box has arrived! The cats were unimpressed. I was able to kindle only mild interest in inspections from Sophia, while Billie Jean refused to budge from her nest.  There was a nice note that is less blurry than this photo would imply.  And a card, sealed with an ancient sigil of doom  Festive!  Portentious!  And here's my cool present:  This is a really cool book. It's got papercraft mechanical devices! You can make papercraft gears and such. Both instructions to introduce the concepts and components, and a lot of pages you're apparently supposed to just tear out of the binding and chop up (I will probably scan & reproduce them instead). Awesome! Thanks thegodofchuck!

I don't know what ya'll are on about with this Christmas thing. I'm here to celebrate the true holiday of the season: Wookiee Life Day. I lack both cats and photography skills, so I only took one picture. But that picture is packed with awesome. (Not the work table... that's crap.)  On the left is an anonymous gift from the first round: The Star Wars Interactive Video Board Game! One the right is LeSquid's lighting round gift of the Bespin Gambit for Imperial Assault. In the background you can see the Super Star Destroyer that I will one day finish I promise. I've already got amazed compliments from board gaming friends on the former and agonized groans from Rebel players on the second.

Dearest Santa, I know getting my gift has been a pain in the rear end, but I just got a notice about attempted delivery, apparently after the delivery company had already returned the package to their distribution center. I’m going to arrange another delivery and hopefully, probably have it sometime next week. Sorry for all the trouble this has caused.

So things seem to be going pretty well! I'm waiting on confirmation from one main round santa and one bonus round santa that they've sent their gifts. As a reminder: the deadline to ship is Dec 15th! I know of approximately 8 gifts that are "in the air" so to speak, having been ordered/shipped but not yet confirmed delivered/recieved, plus the two aforementioned items makes just ten items remaining. NTRabbit, Niemat, I'm afraid there won't be a second bonus round: it's too late and there's no interest. Sorry!

I received a package, it is an article of clothing. Unfortunately, I do not believe I can post it, as it is a hoodie that is covered in anime pornography and probably has placed me onto an FBI watch list. Thank you, Santa? edit: I tried to put it on and discovered that it is actually a pullover and not a front zip hoodie. It is also several sizes too small for me. aldantefax fucked around with this message at 03:19 on Dec 16, 2017 |

So, a couple days ago I received something. Too bad I also fell ill a couple of days, which is why I can only post now about it! A book about space ships! Thank you, Secret Santa! I'd never even imagined something like this existed, I guess I should search more in the future! I've already flipped through it, and some of the space ships are really, really good! I'm planning to sit down at some point to read it more closely. Anyway, awesome gift! (One weird thing though, the package arrived open. Didn't look very safe to me, hopefully whoever opened it didn't take anything.)  Sadly I don't have a cat inspector. My cat prefers to sleep, leaving the hard work of inspecting mail to me. She's like the least curious cat ever, it's weird.
