Shipping still looks on time but I sent a small additional gift to make sure something gets there.

Finally sharing the images. The package before I even opened them had me curious. And something about a tree giving goondolences for giving gifts. And then holy crap! New brushes, a cool playmat, some sicarans, and a very soft blanket! Thanks Santa!

Santa DE-FUCKIN-LIVERED today I heard a tippy tap from my front porch and found two boxes waiting for me. The first one was from GreenBuckanear and contained this cool Chewbacca Mug and some terrain bits.  Super cool especially because I used to have a similar chewie bug that got broken during a move. Opening the second box revealed this beautifully wrapped package, and very classy envelope.  It contained a cute little  Which opened up to this awesome pop-up Chewbacca inside.  But the actual gift...  A limited edition 35mm frame of Chewbacca from Empire, but not just any frame, the frame of Chewie looking slightly uncomfortable as Leia makes out with Luke!. SO RAD! Thank you. ibntumart! Then I left to go to a doctors appointment, and on the way out the driveway the mailman ran up with a mailing tube and I had to assure him that yes indeed I was the Bucnasti that the tube was addressed to. I left the tube in the car and went to the doctors for a routine checkup. Then got stuck in 3 loving hours or LA rush-hour traffic on the way home. It was miserable and I was very grumpy when I finally got back into the house, then I remembered the tube... Prying it open I found this:  A Chewbacca gig poster, also from GreenBuckanear! I don't know if you were aware but I adore gig posters and this one is a piece of art. Thank you to both my Santa's the force has been with me this Life Day.

Bucnasti posted:Santa DE-FUCKIN-LIVERED today You are very welcome. You mentioned you had an office, and what better than to relax and read the forums while sipping [BEVERAGE] from your Chewy Mug? The terrain was the same situation, can never go wrong with some extra terrain bits. Then as I’m scrolling around I saw that poster and knew I had to get it for you, hell, I was tempted to get it for myself, and I’m not even a big Chewy friend, just because it was cool.

Some amazing gifts have been sent out. Crazy the creativity of various goons. So sorry nothing I sent was wrapped or anything creative :/ I'll do better next year I was worried my main round gift got lost but managed to track it down, first package was damaged, but delivery is expected Monday!

My round 5 gift is still en route, tracking shows it is still on course for 21st December. I have a bit more time now so...photos! I don't know if my Santas co-ordinated but after the Black Seas starter box in the prime round, LR5 Santa got me precious, precious targets!  You have to have something to fight over and no-one ever thinks to get merchies! From wooden ships and iron men we then move on to....plastic gunfighters!  Excellent! Building that lot should keep me occupied well into March. I think I am crazy enough to try and rig the ships so thanks Santa! Loxbourne fucked around with this message at 22:44 on Dec 17, 2021 |

 SECRET SANTA DELIVERED and your message wasn't complete on the stupid form, but you guessed right, I love skeletons and zombies and the Big Boy can be assembled into a Dracula Prince On A Bonerdagon, which is great because I now genuinely have enough skeletons and zombies and miscellaneous Draculas to put together a pretty slick Gravelords army.

Twonta knocked it out of the park   I am a massive massive hidden movement fan, and this one was on my To Buy list for Christmas. ooooh I'm very excited about getting this to the table Hidden movement shelf looking jam packed   And a card!  All Hail the Dark Lord Twonta Because Goons are amazing ibntumart ended up gifting me the exact same game that Mode 7 got me from my wishlist - through no fault of the other as shipping delays are dumb. Currently awaiting a reply back from the store ibntumart bought it from to see if it can be returned for a refund or credit Alternatively if you're around Sydney Australia and and know someone who wants a copy hit me up  Might be a sneaky boy and see if I can return to a local big name retail chain having 'lost the receipt' for store credit Infinitum fucked around with this message at 12:48 on Dec 18, 2021 |

Yet more cheer has arrived! It is brilliant!  I've played Lost Cities before and really enjoyed it, so I'm really happy to have a copy so I can share it with more people! It's also a tiny bit disturbing because I don't know how my Santa is aware of my ongoing fascination/obsession with the Carcosa mythos — or, indeed, whether it was my Santa who wrote the note, or if Santurr'gha was the name of the amazon driver...

While I'm not your Santa, I'm also a nerd because I immediately had "Song of my soul, my voice is dead / die though, unsung, as tears unshed / shall dry and die in Lost Carcosa" in my head despite not reading that in years and years.

Doesn't look like either of my santees will be getting their packages today. Based on tracking, I'm guessing tomorrow for santee #1 if their local PO does Sunday deliveries and Monday for santee #2.  In better news, a very nice part 2 from santa arrived yesterday!  A cute lil illithid dice bag that I will love and cherish forever. Thank you, santa!!!

 A package came, containing gifts from Bucnasti!  A Void Archon and a board game I'm unfamiliar with.  Ok, this looks cool. It's a many-vs-one game where the many are literally blindfolded and have to feel their way around the board to get by. Thanks so much, Bucnasti! I just played in a Warmachine tournament yesterday where the lack of a void archon was sorely felt, so I'm assembling it and making room in my list ASAP. I'm also a huge fan of many vs one hidden move games (I own Scotland Yard, Fury of Dracula, and Garibaldi) and games with unique gimmicks/mechanics, so Nyctophobia is for sure hitting the table.

Mail on a Sunday? What could that be? Why, it's gifts! With a lovely card! I wonder what DressCodeBlue got me?  An awesome lil' guy to paint and some Christmas themed paints! (Holly Red and Gingerbread!) And some rocking tiny dice!  But there's more...  The Fallout RPG! Thank you so much! I can't wait to get my players into the wasteland.

Picked up mail today and found an awesome pop-up dragon card inside a huge box from Ibn Tumart! Underneath the card was Nemesis, which I haven't heard of before but checks all my boxes & looks fantastic!  The dripping alien fangs and claws reaching out of the blackness to gobble up the unsuspecting spaceman really gets me into the holiday spirit, thank you so much!

Nah it's not out of print, as I'm looking at picking it up myself at the moment over Christmas - but it's definitely on the extra expensive end of things. So that is an incredible gift you've just got

Nemesis is a $150 msrp miniatures game with $40-70 expansions, so it's a little expensive? That's yet another game I've been thinking about

We're doing very very well. My my count, we have 12 gifts left to be posted as received, and that includes a couple marked as "delivered" (Santa's tracking shows as delivered), and includes about five that are one of multiple gifts where Santee has received at least one of those multiples. I'll post a full accounting after the 22nd - I usually have one or two inaccuracies on my sheet, there's been some stuff hung up by slow shippers/slow mail, etc. but I think we are still on track for yet another No Grinch Year.

I received some Christmas cheer several days ago and took photos, then promptly failed to edit and upload until now. Sorry—I blame work exhaustion compounded by the COVID booster knocking me out a couple of days. Enough excuses! Package #1 from a UK Goon:  Green and red obscuration lines on purpose  represent I’m not used to instructions with my beer. Was very curious what was hidden in the crate within to merit its own manual….  A large bottle of a limited edition, highly-rated holiday Belgian ale! And potent,too, at 10% ABV. Thanks, Goon Santa #1! I am so looking forward to cracking this open after work today.  On to Goon Santa #2’s box of cheer!  Three festively wrapped gifts, and season’s greetings from Skellie Santa is a good start.  I didn’t even know this existed! Going to devour this once holiday vacation starts.  Very nifty! This will be very helpful should I follow my heart and decide to run a Mythos horror game in the near future.  And this feels like Cthulhu himself showing me the dread path I am fated to tread! Seriously, awesome choice. I feel a TG recruitment post in the making…. Thank you for three most excellent tomes!

I received word a parcel arrived for me so I scoured the shire (my neighbours) and discovered this! I've played this game before and it's great. I always love a game with wooden bits. This is going to go down very well in my Christmas nerding.
