I don't think you understand, Gau.
I have received Holiday Joy!

It came with an...oddly disquieting note:



But the joy was real!



Thank you, Santa! I shall think of you as I explore the galaxy in my little wooden starship!

My Santee #2 present has arrived! It's a box of pocket card games.



Thank you, Goon Santa! Sadly I cannot post your note as it has your real name on it. These should break lots of ice during the first hour of game nights.

I have now received the third present of the Carasonne expansion Inns and Cathedrals. It's been a go to filler game for a while, and I hope to play it tomorrow. Thanks for all the gifts, JackMann and may you be well-showered in this as well.

It's probably my fault.
I completely missed this last year, and nearly did this year, but I'm in the lightning rounds, now!


Location: LA, CA, USA. Aaaay

Dos: Obscure RPGs are my jam, even if I don't have the time to play any of them. Books/digital are fine! Also big into obscure/hidden gem retro console games, so if you know of an obscure gem on any old console that everyone should know about, send it my way! Alongside those, I'm a big fan of meads and vodkas, and need to drink more. (Don't worry, you aren't enabling functional alcoholism - the docs say that I desperately need to destress!) While I may not have a lot of room/time to play actual in-person P&P, I'm always on the hunt for cool dice. I also have 2 cats, so :catdrugs: are always welcome! Cyberpunk stuff is very much my jam, too, so if there's a musical inclination, industrial/synth heavy stuff is also a safe bet.

Don'ts: While I like board games, I live in a studio apartment with a wife and a good friend that needs a hand, so there's very little room for anything clutter-related. Board games are sadly out, as are most collectibles/figures/etc.

Solemn Vow: :toxx: Never once grinched, and up for degrinching!

Goonta Claus delivered me a weird as gently caress gaming magazine for Battlelords called 'The Galactic Underground - Issue #1'. I am speechless in awe that such a thing is now in my possession and also unknowing who the generous goon is, as there was no note or any other sign.

EDIT: Also Gift Launched! But there was no way to personalize it...so there is a phantom present at large!

Excellent! I had to order directly from Ebay and couldn't put any personalized notes in there. Glad it's a hit. I was anxious about finding something cool that you don't already have. There should be one more item arriving soon...

I get the lack of notes. That was a perfect choice too, as I have a signed set of all the ODS publications books (they are all poo poo, but they are all signed).

Another box arrived from my Santa, Chekans 3 16!


The cats were having dinner, so feline box interest was at a nadir.


Blurry games!


Oh wait no, clear games! I got Santorini and a couple decks of Keyforge. Right on! Looks like a couple of cool fun games to try, perhaps accompanied by a glass of gin.

Thanks, Checkans 3 16! You were extremely generous. :)

My lightening round gift arrived yesterday afternoon, but I forgot to take pictures. Thank you to the wonderful goon who sent me a copy of Santorini! My partner and I stayed up playing it until the wee hours, as it is the perfect game for the two of us to enjoy together. Great, great gift!

Meanwhile, I am in the process of sorting out shipping my own cheer bundle. It turns out to be much more difficult to move stuff from my location to the destination than I thought, so I've had to do some re-planning...

I apologize for letting it sit so long but my leasing office and mail person are terrible at actually informing me of packages at the office so I had no idea it was there until Leperflesh let me know. Look, a box!





After a thorough inspection by Boxmaster Navi and assistant TrashCat Bijoux it was cleared for opening:



Woah! Two small games which look interesting, a veiled stab at the freshness of my car, a very nice card, a pin I have no idea of what but looks like it's related to Texas, and IMPERIAL ASSAULT goddamn. It's sleeved and has a broken token organizer already as well! I'm really excited to get this on our table, thanks JivJov! All of this was really awesome and I'm looking forward to cackling as I laser blast Rebel Scum!

Huzzah! Glad you got the box. I was rather worried it had gotten lost in parcel limbo or something!

The pin is the logo of my favorite esports team, the Houston Outlaws. Had a handful laying around so I chucked one in the box for fun.

I sincerely do hope you get more enjoyment out of Imperial Assault than I was able to. I'm a huge star wars fan, but assembling a regular group willing to play it was just not happening. I don't remember if I listed them on the card or not, but included in there are a handful of the figure expansion packs (Han, IG-88, Royal Guards, and Alliance Smuggler).

EDIT: Also, you have literally the same spin bike my wife does. Y'all can be fitness pals.

Hi everyone!

Everything seems to be going well. I just wanted to mention we only have 2 goons signed up for LIGHTNING BONUS ROUND 2, which is one goon short of the triad needed to not just have it be a gift exchange, lol. If anyone was on the fence about it, one more goon and I can close that round and kick it off.

Rhyos, PST, if nobody else signs up, I guess I could have you two exchange gifts! It would not be a surprise who is your Santa, but you'd still get a present and you wouldn't know what the present is till you get it!

Not anymore it's not! Please let me throw my hat in the ring since I'm a dumb dummy that forgot about TGSS until too late the last several years.

Secret Santa, hearken I pray to my supplication

Gift Preferences:

First off, I hate anime and steampunk. So strong is my hate I had to list it before anything I love. Speaking of love, I love boardgames and wargames, but have no room in my place to really play or paint and store minis unfortunately.

So generally, I dig Star Wars, LOTR, Arthurian, and cyberpunk stuff (I have all the Takeshi Kovacs books). Horror-themed games are good, too. Cool indie RPGs are always awesome (e.g., I hear Red Markets is interesting). A nicely themed or decorated coffee mug is always appreciated.

Specifically, I would love to flesh out my The One Ring collection. Books I don't have are Oaths of the Riddermark, Bree, and Laughter of Dragons. Gumshoe's solo Cthulhu and Night's Black Ops look good. (I don't actually have Night's Black Ops yet, but I was leaning towards getting it anyway!) Bandai Star Wars models are always fun to put together.

If there's any fun two-person card games that don't take hours to finish, that would be cool, too. My wife and I have been looking for ways to game together in what can be limited mutual downtime.

I love actual books, by the way, but am completely fine with digital versions of anything.

General Location: San Francisco Bay Area, California, US

Solemn Vow: My giftee shall be gifted, let no one doubt this shall come to pass.

Anyway, back to the box, what could it be?

Halloween Jack and some carrien! I don't have a Jack, and I've got a nice wee carrien starter that was just a few members short of being complete, so this is just perfect! Well done Santa, your gift giving abilities are second to none!

But wait, there's more.

Yeah! A cool derelict building terrain piece! Very CS1, I'll need to check out more of these. I'm well excited to build this. Oooo, and paint it maybe. You are truly a coinnuseur of miniature warming.

You are a staaaar.
