I am back for 2022, eager and ready to exchange gifts. Your Gift Preferences: I am a minis guy. I'm in the market for Into the Dark/KT stuff this year, terrain (terrain is always good), general hobby supplies like basing or paintbrushes. I'm always into fun spaceships and space stations. Handmade and goofy stuff. Novelty dice, token sets, your pet 3D-printed custom design... Small treasures or obscure games you'd love to share with new people. Your General Location: London, UK Your Solemn Vow: And it be well that no goon grinches another, 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.

Your Gift Preferences: I have more board games than I could possibly know what to do with, so I have really been sticking to my other two main hobbies. 40k and Magic the Gathering. I collect Mechanicus mostly, along with a little bit of chaos. But if you think you can find something to surprise me, then let's see what you got. Your General Location: Hidden in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado Your Solemn Vow: I ain't been a grinch and I ain't starting now.

OK Today is the big day! I'll do assignments fairly late in the day, my time (I'm in California) just due to other business I'm up to today, and also to let any last minute crew get on board. This is gonna be a smaller pool than usual with mostly long-term participants which may mean I'll have to assign someone to a santa or santee that they've previously had. I do my best to avoid that but it's a little silly to force someone to ship internationally just to avoid it, so I prioritize on shipping preference first.

Assignment emails have all been sent! Please check your inbox, and let me know right away if you didn't get an assignment. The subject line is fwd: <whatever your Santee used to sign up> so it could be odd! Lightning Bonus Round 1 starts now! LIGHTNING BONUS ROUNDS! Lightning bonus rounds are how you take part in the Trad Games Secret Santa thing after the deadline for the main round is passed. It's also how you can be greedy and exchange more than one present with your fellow goons! Beginning today (November 28th), and continuing until no later than December 15th, we will have a series of one or more extra bonus rounds and YOU can participate. The LIGHTNING BONUS ROUNDS work a lot like the main round. All of the rules apply except for the deadline for application. Re-read the rules in the OP just in case you forgot them. OK so to sign up I post in the thread and send you an email? Correct. You must do this even if you participated in the main round. Post in the thread. If you already participated in the main round you can link to your original post or just quote it to show your gift preferences. You must send an email to tgsecretsanta@gmail.com as well; if you already sent one this year I don't need your address again, but I do need another email regardless. My response to that email is your only confirmation that you've successfully signed up. What then? I will end each LIGHTNING BONUS ROUND according to whichever of the following things happens first:
Once each round closes I'll randomize the participants in the round and you all exchange gifts. You immediately fire off a Trad Games Present at your Santee, and they do the same! And of course the instant one LIGHTNING BONUS ROUND ends, the next one begins. What about international shipping?  You can still tell me you prefer not to ship internationally – if it's impossible for you, let me know and I'll try to make sure that doesn't happen. But if you live outside the US it's probably required to ship internationally. Bear in mind that you can always buy something online from a store that operates in your target country and thereby avoid expensive shipping costs. (You might have to pay a currency exchange fee but that is typically much less money.) If I get a pool that contains nobody else in your country and you said no thanks to international, I will contact you to check if you'd rather take a pass, before I do the matchings. It's better though if LIGHTNING BONUS ROUND participants can all ship internationally or at least to the US. Remember, you can always just order something online from the destination country: you usually just need a credit card. So then what's the shipping deadline? Of course, as we close in on Christmas day, you will have less and less time in which to accomplish purchase, shipping, and delivery. You'll have to pick an appropriate delivery option and be certain whatever you're buying is either in your hands, or definitely in stock at the retailer of your choice. You are still supposed to ship your item absolutely no later than December 15th AND get your gift delivered to your Secret Santee by December 19th! This is part of the challenge! But it probably means that you won't have time to make a hand-made gift or wait for something that is out of stock to get restocked. Strongly consider ordering online from a major retailer with a strong reputation for shipping things immediately. Will I get matched with someone I've gifted or been gifted by before? Possibly. For the main round I do my absolute best to avoid this. But with limited goons, it's possible that the only way to be polite to the no-international-please people is to match you with someone you've gifted before. As always, you can give me a list of your mortal enemies and I won't match you with someone you despise. ROUND ONE BEGINS NOW GO!

Gift ordered! I had the items I wanted in my cart and it went out of stock so I had to go with a different bundle of items, so it'll be two separate packages, looks like a Dec 7th ETA.

I'm sure it'll be fine. I've replied to all the early email questions and such, and our four bonus round signup folks also have confirmation emails out. Thanks everyone! I always love how a bunch of TGSS folks are quick to get gifts fired out.

Well hey there package! That's straight-up a giveaway because... I've ordered from them before! I know that this is definitely a Secret Santa present. "Aha!" I think. "I am a smarty-pants."  Thank you Santa #2, you are the fastest goon.  Holy Christ on a cracker this is a monster of a dice bag!  There is no escape from its baleful gaze.  With actual dice, for scale.  With its smaller siblings that already resided in my home. Thank you mysterious Santa #2, I shall have to decide which dice to feed it. It will certainly be able to eat many, many dice. thegodofchuck fucked around with this message at 21:53 on Dec 1, 2022 |

Based on my notes, I think that is package 1/2 for each of you two, e.g. expect another. I think.
