Can I still get in on lightning round 2? (If not, please consider my Santa hat thrown into the ring for round 3!)
Edit: Email sent just in case.

It's not too late, no! Round 2 will stay open until either December 2nd, or we hit 8 participants. Right now there are three, including ibntumart!
Yes you can! In fact I just replied to your email, so all you gotta do is post your standard stuff: gift preferences, location, and solemn vow, as usual. 
Awesome possum! Here goes:
Gift Preferences:
(Note: I l love physical books, but digital is A-OK, too)
- Dune: Absolutely love Dune and have since I was a teen. (I refuse to acknowledge the prequels’ existence, but do have a perverse love for the Lynch movie.) I do have pretty much any printed Dune materials, but any Dune Knick-knacks would be much appreciated!
- Lord of the Rings: Pretty much anything from books, artwork, t-shirts, figures, etc. Bookwise, I own the trilogy, Hobbit, Silmarillion, and Turin books. edit: GW Middle Earth Battle Strategy books are cool, too! Been hearing good things about but not sure where to start
- RPGs: Quirky indies are always fun. I’m interested in GUMSHOE horror RPGs: I have Trail of Cthulhu and the Yellow King rule books, plus the Arkham Files, but that’s pretty much it. Sci-if RPGs not based on licensed properties would be cool, too. ( Just throwing I would alsolove a copy of The One Ring Oaths of the Riddermark, but not getting my hopes up!)
- Photography: I’ve been meaning to learn how to take proper photos, any practical beginner level photography materials would be nifty.
- Fountain Pens: Inks, stationary, washi tape, journals, sealing wax, and other such nonsense are dear to my often ink-stained hands.
- Languages: I will never tire of grammars, dictionaries, phrase books, etc. in other languages. I do want to up my Korean study and also work on Chinese characters, but honestly any non-Indo-European language is fun!
- Comestibles: Snacks, beers, chocos, candies, and other delicacies are always
ravenously shoved down my Goon gullet savored with care and refinement.
- edit: Dice: Anything cool or wonderfully weird, really (D10s and D20s especially)
Location:
SF Bay Area, USA
Vow of Utmost Solemnity:
I must not grinch. Grinching is the TGSS killer. Grinching is the little-dickishness that brings total disappointment. I will face my Ralphie. I will permit presents to ship from me and Amazon. And when they have shipped, I will turn the inner eye to see their tracking numbers. Where the gifts have gone, there will be nothing grinched. Only Ralphie’s gifts will remain.
(So yeah, I won’t be a Grinch, promise!)
Edited to add Middle Earth BSG and dice ‘cause I forgot like a fool

I'll get Round 2 assignments out today, and as of this post,  LIGHTNING BONUS ROUND 3 GO GO GO if it happens but if 2 or fewer people sign up for it then it probably won't so just be aware thanks.
Aw, what the heck, I’ll sign up for round 3, too, to help make sure it happens! Copying earlier post:

Status update on gifting: LR2 and LR3 orders have arrived and should be out by tomorrow afternoon.
Also, looks like a box of Christmas cheer got mixed into the pile of Fedex and UPS boxes on my porch the other night:
Thanks to Mr. Cohen for masking the address!
I actually refolded and set aside this wrapping paper because I liked it so much. What festive and uplifting gift could it have concealed?
Well, it’s only bloomin’ Cthulhu Christmas tidings! Surely the most blasphenous and eldritch joyous of holiday cheer.
Seriously this is definitely my jam and am looking forward to digging into the scenarios this weekend. This might be the five push needed for me to check out the 7th edition rule book. My thanks, mystery Santa!

It contained a cute little Christmas Life Day Porg card
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!
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!
Glad you both enjoyed the gifts! Sci-fi holiday season is where it’s at.
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
I blame Sauron for this mishap, but it is being put aright!

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 went to turn on the porch light, and what did I spy but another mystery package:
And therein was contained a gift fit for a Fedaykin!
I don’t even see the point of keeping my other tumblers now. Much thanks, Goon Santa! This is fantastic!

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.
