LET IT BE KNOWN that I, Wrr, intend to participate in the act of giving and receiving gifts, in secret. I do this of my own sound mind and volition.

Preferences I am new to the table top gaming world so I don't have much. I like the collecting and painting aspects of Infinity so some Infinity troops or, say, that $1000 copy of Infinity Defiance being scalped on Ebay. I've got the recent Operation Crimson Fist, and its pre-order / event exclusive stuff surrounding it. I also have the Operation Red Veil set. All the models and factions are cool imho. I think I have enough paint right now. I really like the basing aspect of painting minis and am considering doing diorama going forward. I like the surprise aspect but I do have some specific minis and items on my wishlist if you are super hard up for ideas; we can just chat and get a vibe.

I guess I can say more and say that I am into the idea of solo games, and I wouldn't say no to some post-apoc / modern russian figures for Zona Alfa.

I'm not much of a board game person, and I have more than enough video games as is.


Location I will be in the SF Bay Area during Christmas time!

I VOW! UPON MY HONOR AND UPON MY GOOD NAME IN THESE FORUMS! I VOW TO SEND A GIFT WORTH OF A GOON!

I'm trying to order a custom made gift and I am concerned it might not show up on time; should I abandon the idea and find something faster? What does the experienced Santa-ers think?

You can do it. But, I suggest you have a backup in mind, and monitor progress of your custom order closely. Most vendors know that people ordering stuff in late November expect it to be delivered by christmas, but also many vendors get backed up. Be conscientious about it, basically: you are supposed to get a gift delivered in time, and if it starts to look like that's not going to happen, be prepared to shell out some cash to get a backup sent.

I have some backups in mind, but, it looks like the guy I'm custom ordering stuff can bump me up in priority and get it done faster than Etsy's vague estimate. I will reveal their identity in due time (hint it is a goon), so make sure to send orders their way!

The gift I bought from Etsy had its shipping label created on Sunday and hasn't had any action since :<

I payed for the more expensive shipping too!

A golden bubble pack arrived in the mail today.

Thank you, mysterious benefactor goon

Yay they finally arrived!

Shoutout to our fellow Goon that runs the Unnatural One Etsy store. He was super easy to shoot ideas back and forth with and even bumped me the top of the priority list to ensure it got sent out in time.

I didn't know you'd be getting bonus die and hamsas, that rules. The big-dice box is intended to be done up as a hi-viz vest, hence the color and orange strip going down the middle.

I had asked if he could 3D print some tiny hard hats and put them in there but the color we were running with is too opaque for that work.

Hope you enjoy them, and if they ever roll under a couch or something they should be extremely easy to locate!

edit-
Oh, by the way, per Unnatural One: "It also has fluorescence under UV (doesn't glow in the dark and despite my phone it's actually glowing yellow)"


Maybe one a once-over with a Geiger counter on these things. They apparently defy the capability of cameras to capture their true image.

Shout out to my secret santagoon for this


Can't wait to add it in to our next game session. At some point my work will calm down and we will get it on the table!!

I'm so excited but loving nervous for my people to get their gifts. Like...
This is such a cool thing. The secret Santa. Exciting but nerve racking

Edit: I dont think my pic worked again, it's the Moore expansion for Viticulture!!

protip: right click on the image and choose "copy image address" to get the url of the image for the BBcode. Thats how I do it on imgur.
