After an absence of a year due to COVID issues, I return for the 2021 Gathering of Santas! Gift Preferences: I am a miniatures game fiend and usually ask for terrain. A nice ruin or some MDF is always good. I play quite a lot of spaceship games too, so a good planet goes a long way. Black Seas and Mantic's Armada have had my eye lately and I'm fond of old Uncharted Seas stuff. I also love the various -grave boxed sets although I have the Cultists, Barbarians, and Soldiers 1 boxes already. Eyeing up the Dead Man's Hand range with interest. EDIT FOR LIGHTNING ROUND: Santa has already brought me a Black Seas starter box and a gonzo RPG in the form of Mutant Crawl Classics. I've recently gotten into indie RPGs so I'll read your strange but beloved setting books, and could actually use more dice (especially strange dice, they're always fun). Not that into boardgames at present for Pandemic Reasons. Also I don't drink so please no booze. Location: The UK. My Solemn Vow: It be well for a grinch that he should not be here, for he would be taken from this place and his gaskin slit, his moules shown to the four winds, his welchet torn asunder with many hooks and his figgin placed upon a spike.

by.a.teammate posted:Am I too late for UK goon gift giving? You can still join a Lightning Bonus round! I got my gift today! I claim the first Santa-ing of 2021 and shall make the customary dark sacrifice. My Santa must have slammed the button the moment the assignment came through:  What is this package I see before me, its smirking envelope toward my hand?  Come, let me open thee!  Schweeeeeeeeet, tiny sailing ships!  I dance a hornpipe in joy. No the hornpipe is the instrument. Dance a jig instead. THERE WILL BE DANCING OF SOME FORM! Thanks, anonymous Santa!

My main round gift has been dispatched, ETA 3rd December. Unfortunately there were no gift options so if you get a parcel that day with no markings, IT MIGHT BE FROM ME. I too wish to sign up to the Lightning Bonus Round!

Lightning Round 2 cheer has been dispatched, ETA Thursday 9th. Once again no gift options so it'll be a MYSTERIOUS PACKAGE. The restriction on gift options this year is proving to be a pain. If we weren't all receiving such a lovely Brexit Dividend(TM) in the British postal system, I'd really prefer to include some sort of gift card or just a cheery note. In previous years I used to include silly letters and I'm saddened that I can't toss those in this year.

I have a bit more time to take photos now... There was a jingle of bells and a distant hollow laughing outside my window two nights ago. I opened my door to find...this!  That's a VERY gonzo RPG system and a bucket of obscure dice, perfect! I already have uses in mind for the dice at my group's Christmas session. The art is wild and crazy. I'd heard of Dungeon Crawl Classics but not this version:  More detail of the many crazy chance polyhedra here. Never seen a D14 or a D16 before. I wonder what uses them...  Thanks, anonymous Santagoon!

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 |

Bucnasti posted:A box of random terrain bits showed up yesterday (which is exactly what I wanted) but there's no note so I don't know who sent them. That was me! I was mulling over order options, delivery times etc and then I remembered the best terrain is lots of terrain.

Yes, it has been an amazing year for Santa-ing. I will be sure to post my gunfighters and Tiny Botes in the painting thread as I assemble them over the next year. I've already rolled my new dice in anger GMing my group's Christmas game.
