My Santee's present is not going to arrive until December sadly, due to unexpected cash flow issues. No lightning rounds for me this year

Caught up with emails, and I've sent responses to all of them that needed one. Also, we're up to three participants in Lightning Bonus Round 1 (LeSquide has returned, hurray!) so that is definitely going to happen now too.  Folks, if you happen to come across some sales at various webstores, please don't hesitate to post about them in this thread. Everyone presumably knows about Amazon's Cyber Monday week of deals (today they had games from Ravensburger for up to half off, for example) but probably not everyone knows about deals at other places so post 'em if you got 'em.

Do you want us to send on the tracking number to you to send to our Santee? I know with Auspost there is about a 50% chance they won't leave a missed delivery card.

My santee's gift is out as of 5 minutes ago! I picked "no rush" shipping because I was worried about people being on vacation this week, so it should arrive next week! Enjoy!

I can forward a tracking number to your Santee if you feel they will need it, yes. Keep in mind that looking up tracking info sometimes displays information about the shipper. What I don't do is accumulate 50+ tracking numbers and check them myself, which some people occasionally think is a thing I'd do. If a gift disappears, I will look at a supplied tracking number to help figure out what happened as part of the troubleshooting, but for the normal routine deal of getting gifts to Santees I just note on my spreadsheet that something has been ordered/shipped/arrived/delivered and that's it.

Alright gift is en route! Within the same country and mailed before 6pm to another major city I think means it should arrive 23rd or 24th November.

The gift was chosen because of thematic reasons, and also because it's a pretty good game. It's in the mail! The slow, cheap mail.

As Chekans 3 16 said, Chekans 3 16 posted:Whenever you want to, some people wait until Christmas, others don't wait and open when they receive them. I'm not waiting when I get mine. However, goons who are receiving multiple gifts (such as because they are doing multiple gifts for TGSS, or because they are doing multiple secret santas) should please open their gifts at least enough for their TGSS santa - and me - to determine with certainty that they have received a TGSS gift, and (if applicable) which of their multiple TGSS Santas sent it. This probably doesn't apply to most folks, who are free to save their present till Christmas if they want.

I got a gift!  It's an expansion to the Age of Conan boardgame, called Adventures in Hyboria! Gosh! I actually didn't even know this existed. My group has gotten some value out of that game, I'm sure they'll be up for trying an expansion, very cool! Thanks Santa!

According to the tracking information, it looks like my gifts were split into 2 deliveries, one of which arrived yesterday, the remainder of which should arrive today!  Hope they're not redundant or confusing.

 Thanks Santa! I don't know who you are since your S.A. name wasn't on the thing, but looking forward to starting to read through the fluff tonight! EDIT: Oh hey, there was a second thing shipped separately! These dudes will do well for blasting stuff off the table top. For the Emperor, and for coin!  Note on my own progress: I've gotten part of my gift and will be getting the remainder during a Black Friday dealio on...Friday. Once I have everything, I'll box and ship.

You might get both?

I was alerted to the fact I had missed a parcel and was initially irritated as I had been home at the time. I can see why they didn’t try to deliver it now:  It’s big. It’s really big. Not Pictured: getting it home from the post office on the back of a motorbike! Thanks Santa Raged for this incredibly generous present! I have a shindig tomorrow night and suspect already this is going to be a big hit! Mode 7 fucked around with this message at 01:49 on Nov 24, 2017 |

When I saw that you posted that you would like an odd game from a foreign land I thought what better than a pub game from Denmark. Friend of mine has it and it's always a hit when he pulls it out.

Caught up with emails and thread posts! Folks just an FYI: it's fine to send me tracking info or an email saying you've shipped if there's some action I need to take (like sending some info to your Santee); but otherwise, you just need to post that you've sent a gift in this here thread. It's not a big deal, just letting you guys know because a few of you are doing both, and one or two have sent emails without posting... my preference is to use the thread when possible. Thanks!

At this point, all of the main components for my santee's gift have been procured or ordered for delivery (to me, so I can add some personal touches before reshipping everything). I'll make my actual "Things are shipped!" (and accompanying  ) post when everything has been placed in the trusted hands of the postal service – which will likely be in early December based on shipping estimates.As usual, if something happens and the timeline starts collapsing, I'll jettison this plan in favor of a direct shipment gift instead.
