I have been Santa'ed and my Santa (Zachattack) knocked it out of the park! Including a note showing that they thoughtfully went through my posts but not to Helldump-- rather to Heaven Dump. Took note of my enjoyment of M:TG and enjoyment of a good Star War, they got me the a unique gift in the form of a Star War themed fan-made and custom printed cube set. It even includes themed lands and tokens!! Incredibly cool and I'm looking forward to sleeving this up and drafting it over beers with pals once the Plague is over.  My Santee can expect a few packages over this and next week, all slated to arrive on or before the Big Day.

I really hope it plays well, it's one of those things that I would love to get for myself but it would never actually get to the table. If you get around to playing a game some time take a pic and send it to me!

The gift for Berenzen's santee couldn't be shipped direct, so it's making a pit-stop at my house. I finally have tracking info, and it's scheduled for delivery this Thursday. I'll slap a new shipping label on it and get it on its way to its final destination on Friday.

 A Box!   Thorough check by the local inspectors, it passed. Barely.    I got the titty! This thing is loving cool as hell, and the dice tower is really, really well done. Everything fits together so nicely and I can't wait to use it when plague times are over and we can get together with people again. Until then going to be drinking diet coke in style   Also going to demolish this chocolate. Thanks Benedict!

Santa has delivered! I asked for unusual minis and my santas definitely pulled through Look at this magnificent bastard  A momma landshark and three pups!  Also a bonus free GoT/SoIaF mini of Roose Bolton from the manufacturer looking to spread goodwill about their "small boutique company" and I'm all for supporting small business directly so shout out to DarkSword Miniatures. This critter is bizarre and majestic! Thanks, mystery Santa, and a merry chompy goonsmas to you as well

Aramoro posted:My lightning round arrived! Sup Goon! I haven't played any board games in a long time, but I am a bird person, and I knew there was an apparently really good bird based board game out there, so that's what I went with, haha If you play it soon, let me know how it goes. I bought a copy for my niece for christmas and looking forward to trying it. fun trivia: the bird on the box is the Scissortail Flycatcher, the official state bird of Oklahoma, my home state over here in America. They're very cute little boys about the size of a sparrow who are so unbelievably aggressive that they will chase down bald eagles to get them out of their territory.

 This Mansions of Madness expansion showed up in the mail yesterday. There was no more, so I have no idea if it came from my normal Santa, my lighting round Santa, or my mother. If it was either of the first two, thank you very much! Mansions of Madness is one of the only board games I own that my wife enjoys playing, so more of it is great during this quarantine. If none of you sent it, then I guess I will go thank my mom, but you can enjoy the bonus picture of my dog.

Had my doorbell rung tonight in the middle of a sleet/snow/winter storm, went out into the night to find a large box outside my door. Immediately brought it inside and had it inspected. Once it passed an extremely thorough and vigorous inspection, I opened the package to discover a cornucopia of gifts!  After a brief moment of consideration, I chose instant gratification over waiting until Christmas.  Unwrapping each of them was a delight (and my wife loved the choices of wrapping paper!). Santa Auralsaurus Flex, thank you; this was an insanely generous and thoughtful assortment of gifts! You hit the mark with each and every one of them, and made one incredible day in what has been a pretty rough month so far. I'm incredibly psyched to play each of them and touched by the thought you put into my gifts. Again, thank you!

Ohohoho! Today I found out that the mailman braved the icy walk up to the door to deliver this bit of cheer. Two games I actually had my eye on and hadn't pulled the trigger on yet! I'll actually get to try these out next week, as I'll be doing stuff with actual people on Christmas eve. Most appreciated! Thanks Owlbear Camus.

Today was apparently the day for packages! Firstly, Mystic Mongol got two birds with one stone! I said I was interested in a handmade gift or an 18XX game, so I got a handmade 18XX game! Super psyched to get this on the table at the first responsible opportunity!   And in another package were these adorable Dead By Daylight charms/keychains. I am 100% certain that my wife is going to steal the Myers one, but that still leaves three for me. And even though I hate playing against Doctor, this little guy is too cute to hold that grudge against. Sadly I don't know who this is from, since the note was signed by The Entity.  Also, I have updated tracking information, and Berenzen's Santee should get their present on Tuesday.
