I am very powerful, of course.


Dear Santa,

I do solemnly swear that I have been a good person moderately okay this year, and I've tried to to right by the people in my life.

Things I Would Enjoy Getting: Keyforge Starter Set, any board/card game that plays decently with only two players, RPGs that go beyond the 'elf, dwarf, halfling' stuff, RPGs with interesting plot/fluff

Things I already have: NWOD/COD, UA, MAOTC, 7 wonders duel

Things I would prefer not to receive: D&D 5e stuff, dice, minifig stuff

I do solemnly promise to not Grinch my Santee, and to give them something awesome based on their preferences.

General Area: Washington DC, USA

Gift purchased.

It wasn't easy to get a hold of an Anne Rice themed trading card game in Bangkok, but with a little Elmer's glue and a handful of elbow macaroni, anything is possible!

I'm not serious about what I purchased, obviously.

I'd be interested in a Lightning Round as long as the deadline isn't before the 6th, when I get paid again. :v

The current lightning round has enough members that it will kick off this Saturday night or Sunday morning. But, I'll start another round after that, which will run to the 2nd.

You can join the current round just to be sure, since there's no guarantee a second round will fill: and it's fine to wait till the 6th to mail a present. Either way, of course, all gifts from all rounds need to be shipped no later than December 14th, and must arrive no later than December 18th. (If you wait till the 14th to ship, you'll have to use a premium option to possibly have it arrive by the 18th). I think you should be OK shipping on the 6th, regardless.

A box!




Sophia showed up to assist with box opening.


Little bottles, in styrofoam packaging? From something called Liquorama!


It's gin!


Three varieties of St. George Gin, a local-to-me distillery that I particularly enjoy.


And a lovely note!



Thanks, Chekans 3 16! As it happens, I have purchased gin from this distillery before, but none of these three varieties. I will have to fight to keep my wife out of them - she's a fan of gin & tonics, but she can use her own drat gin for that, there's plenty. This is too good for mixers, it'll be my sippin' gin. I like to drink it neat, or sometimes with one ice cube. I can't wait to try it out! Actually I can and must wait, because I hurt my back and am on some painkillers, but I will let you know when I try it probably in a few days. :)

Oh man, I don't drink so I know nothing about liquor but (thanks to some general advice from Aldantefax) looks like I hit a bullseye :v:

It turns out that Liquor moves incredibly fast and Board Games much, much slower so part two should be there near the end of the month. Super relieved you like the booze though, Happy Holidays!

Thanks again, fr0id! Can't wait to read some high-falutin words while watching what is surely an equally high-falutin film.

EDIT: I didn't notice and won't bother fixing the photo orientations because imgur sucks and imgur on mobile is nearly unusably bad. Sorry!

If only Milliband had eaten a vegan sausage roll instead of a bacon sandwich, we wouldn't be in this mess.
My Santee had requested digital owing to the tiny housing that is roughly the size of an American's dog kennel that we are forced to live in in our socialism-controlled state over here, so purchase made and delivered.

A parcel arrived in the mail today! I had ordered a few items off Amazon recently, but wasn't expecting any additional packages to show up just yet. However, the contents of the mystery package had a similar form factor to what I had ordered (combined with the fact that I was expecting to receive my TGSS gift at a different address), so I decided to take a peek to make sure I hadn't accidentally been sent a duplicate of something. And lo! What do I find inside?


The Post Master Inspectors General declined my photo request, but – if you look closely – you can see that they approved the package.
Why, it's a copy of Mutant: Year Zero! This must be from TGSS! :iia:

The only other thing included in the mailer was half of (what I believe to be) a packing slip, so I have no way to directly thank my Santa. But thank you Santa! This is a incredibly beautiful book! I only have a few games in the post-apocalyptic genre – and nothing from Modiphius in general – so I'm excited to dive in and check this one out. I might even have to run it sometime in one of the monthly indie RPG events at my FLGS!

Thank you once again, Mystery Santa!




I have ordered the main component of my Santee's gift. I am sending it here as usual to add in a few bonus gifts and throw some personal touches on everything. I'll post an update when I get it shipped (estimated by December 8th at the very latest).

After one of the most stressful weeks of my life, Santa came with presents. First, Hive Pocket edition, which I have wanted to play for a while.The second was a coloring book of the art of Doctor Suess, one of my favorite artists of all time. Thank you so much Santa.

I got home from the family fun mines! There was a box waiting.



There were bags in the box!



The bags contained 13th Age Bestiary 2 for the table and Yoku's Island Express for the Switch! The Catspector General claimed the book for customs impound as is his wont, but I was able to get it sprung with some crass briberysuitable fines paid in Fancy Feast. Good work on finding a monster manual I don't already have! I know it's a long list but I am always happy to expand it.



Also in addition to looking like a fun game, Yoku's lets me have even rows in my game carrying case and this makes me happy, you don't even know. Well, you're a goon, santa, so you probably do know.

Thanks santa tree!

The Amazon gift bags are also pretty sweet, I think I can find a future use for those too.

Not sure if there is still space available, but I'd be keen to sign up for the lightening round. Was an idiot and stupidly missed registering for the main event.

Gift Preferences: A random board game that you love would be super cool. Alternatively, anything relating to fantasy maps/almanacs.

Solemn Vow: By all that is holy, I will not grinch my lighting round Santee.
