My cats still regularly lick and tackle and try to murder the ancient catnip bananas I got a couple years ago, too. TG Secret Santa is the gift that keeps on giving!

Thanks for running secret Santa again Leperflesh, it's one of my favorite year end activities.

I would also still appreciate some danger.



Agreed with everyone! This has been fun from the start and I appreciate LF's herculean task of wrangling goons.

I received a bonus gift!





They're extremely purple. Nice sharp corners, as dice ought to have. I like them a lot, thanks rydiafan!

Definitely! Every year's TGSS has been great, and a lot of it is down to Leper's great organization.

I'm struck this year by just how hella generous everyone has been — even more so than previous years. So while in no way distracting from how amazing the goon-wrangling is, thank you everyone! This is the best Secret Santa I'm part of, on or off SA, long may it stay that way.

Finally got confirmation that my last (LR5) gift has shipped, it should be delivered next week.

Leperflesh

Status!

Main round: We're going to assume Sion received that second gift since it was delivered. I hope Sion is OK, they last posted on SA on December 8th. :ohdear:

The other remaining one is:

Tiny Chalupa posted:

The gift I had to send out twice finally has a delivery notification.

Does this mean tracking shows as delivered, or does it mean you have a notification that delivery is expected at a day in the future?

Lightning rounds 1, 3, and probably 4 are complete (I have "delivered" for gift(s) to Rhjamiz for round 4)

LR 2: an Etsy gift is still incomplete, but the Santa self de-grinched with a gift cert for Bucnasti.

LR5: Bucnasti just posted shipped for the last gift for LR5.

I know folks are starting to trickle out of the thread, which is understandable. I hope you have a great holiday season. Please remember to email tgsecretsanta@gmail.com and ask to be added to the mailing list, if you want! The only thing I use the list for is to send a single notification in November when the annual thread goes up. If you want to be taken off that list, also just let me know.

Confirmed delivered in this thread sir

Leperflesh
May 17, 2007

Sorry! You were in three rounds and I think I got them messed up. I distinguish the status "delivered" (the Santa reports tracking says package delivered by carrier) from "received" (the Santee reports having received the package). When I'm not 100% sure of the status, I don't update it until I've had clarification.

Just wanted to add my appreciation as well! This is definitely the best Secret Santa bar none, and in no small part due to Leperflesh’s wrangling us Goons into orderly gift-exchanging paragons.

I have spoken with Sion. They apologize they received the second gift but forgot to post and are away from their pc for a week. They appreciated the gift and asked me to pass it along.

These are perfect, thanks!

Welp, so there was An Error of Generosity: a goon with multiple Santees sent a gift to one Santee intended for a different Santee. It's getting fixed though! People are being very kind and adult about it which I really appreciate.

nthing the great thanks to Leperflesh for the good work and my fellow thread goons for being cool as hell

Bucnasti posted:

The Etsy order for my last Santee is also going to miss the deadline (my own fault for not realizing I was ordering from Canada) so I deployed my favorite holiday card with a consolation giftcard inside to my target.

I guess this was me because I got the card today :wave:

Really wasn't necessary to supplement the gift, I'm not impatient and I know how this stuff can be. My thanks, though, truly. And the card is great. I'll post a pic when I post the other bit.

I kind of like that I'll have one lingering gift after the day tbqh

Oh good! I was worried that it had been 'delivered' into someone else's hands/a bin/random bush. Glad it arrived safe and sound.

Let me add to the thanking LF for running this.

Finally, merry Christmas everyone!

Regarding my outstanding LR2 (grrrrr), Bucnasti, the shipping thing was printed and sent either yesterday or today and has a shipping number. I can send it to you if you like, but it should be there by the 29th-31st.

I've fired off some emails about the remaining gifts. I'm de-stickying this thread, but I'll keep it open until I've confirmed everything got to where it needed to go. I hope everyone had a great holiday!

The mail finally came through and it was worth the wait!

I don't have a way to take particularly good pictures right now, but here's the haul



A fantastic winged hippo and four simian adventurers


All the minis are super nice. I'm really glad the manufacturer put that note in there about the parts too because while the shredded paper packing totally protected everything, I would absolutely have thrown out at least one piece without the count.


THANKS BUCNASTI

The audiobook of these is voiced by the same actor who does Kevin in Welcome to Night Vale. It's a really great series. That's my peanut gallery comment

Do the bases go to specific apes? Did the supplier have an image of how the bard was mounted to a base?

Luckily, my postal inspector (pictured sleepily below) had to poop near the back door this afternoon, because that's where the gift was delivered.



Thank you Santa! This is amazing! I'm very excited put this village together, as it's my first experience with lazercut terrain and it looks incredible!

That means we went grinch-free for another year.

Those ape minis are pretty boss too. I bet you could use them for some ape fights.

That's a wrap, folks! I'll give the thread another day for any final messages before I close it, and I'll just make one more plug of the Trad Games Secret Santa Official Mailing List: get an email once per year when the thread goes live. email tgsecretsanta at gmail dot com to join or quit the list.
