OH DARK LORD OF THE GIFTS, WHOSE DOMAIN IS THE LOST DAYS IN THE DARKEST NIGHTS OF THE YEAR! Once more thy humble servant Loxbourne hears your call and takes up wrapping paper and little bow things in thy name!

Gift Preferences: I'm a wargaming nerd, with a personal bias towards space games. Miniatures are my thing and also miniature ancillaries - painting gear, terrain, laser-etched tokens and so on. I find that's sometimes easier to bring under the Santa Budget than whitemetal. I'll also happily accept second-hand stuff; I've had some real gems from previous Santas raiding bargain bins for forgotten and obscure lines. Lately I've been poking around for old Spartan Games stuff, particularly their Uncharted Seas line.

I'm also on the lookout for small icebreaker games and early-game-night palate-cleansers, and exotic dice are always good.

Geographical Location: London, :britain: .

Solemn Vow: Let he who faileth in his duty to his Santee suffer eternally; his mind shall ne'er be free of the torments of remorse, and his bottom never free from the pricking of tiny forks.

ADBOT LOVES YOU

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.

Of my two Santees, I have sent out #1's gift. #2 I have a question for.

I have a delivery notification but will not be able to get to the post office until the weekend.

After some wrasslin' with the post office to get them to release it, what should arrive at my door but a box full of fluffy white things?



Accompanied by a very friendly handwritten note...



And...wait, there are dragons...it's...



...a copy of Tsuro! This is one of the handful of games that are so popular in my parts that the previous owner's set literally fell apart from overuse, so the gift is both excellent and timely! Thanks, Secret Santa!

And my final gift is dispatched, this one upon the internets. Another year of successful Santa-ing.

That is amazing and kudos to that Santa for coming up with it.

Please add me to the mailing list for next year!
