- would like to make a squad of the retro Noise Marines which would require... at least 7-8 due to needing to convert a blastmaster (gotta have 6 for Slaanesh's power number, of course)

One for the crafter goons out there (or who know where to find stuff): I have a fair amount of Clan War miniatures that I have always wanted to make modular so I could still use them to play Clan War (a dead game I've never played) and Kings of War (a living game I've yet to play). The idea would be to combine a few clans as a Kingdoms of Men force. This would probably involve some sort of multi-basing solution using the 75% percent of a full unit rules, as the base sizes are different. See here for a breakdown of base sizes if you want to do my work for me as a gift.

Cards
A storage solution for various card decks for rpgs and storygames. Ideally would hold tuckboxes and/or cards, and would look nice (really?). Could even have spots for tokens, but we don't need to push it. You can see the sorts of cards I'm intending to store here (basically there are a lot of standard decks, but some tarot, some small, and some odd. Fitting everything might be impossible!). Also tucks or cases for smaller cards (that wouldn't be part of this group) could be good as part of this or as a different gift (e.g. to fit the recent Kings of War cards).

In a bygone TGSS, I received all of The Badger Deck decks except the 11-20 cards, which would be an idea along with some sort of nice storage box for those (the entire set of 443 cards).

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.

I have received a copy of So You've Been Eaten and Fog of Love from a generous GodofChuck! Both games I had been eyeing but never seen in my local store so I'm looking quite forward to trying them out with my partner

Thank you Secret Santa!

It's what I cut my teeth on when I first got into the tabletop hobby back in the 90s, and after a bunch of moves and shuffles in life I didn't have a single mech miniature or hex map. Now I'm going to crack this bad boy open and introduce my kids to the joys of an AC/20 crit to the head.

Glad you got them both and you can now kill 'em with the lil guns and the big guns (and with the lil 'uns)!

Got it this evening, I'm already opening board games to find where I can use these 32 little containers, perfect for my organization-obsessed brain. Also can plan them into future organizers (the same way Fog of Love has two little plastic containers that slot perfectly into its organizer, which is basically ASMR for me)

Glad you like 'em! Enjoy the playing and organizing!

There should be two pdfs though, there's an item book also, is that in there? I got the travel edition because the HC is ridiculously zonkin' huuuuge. Same content. This is a new edition, not the forums version BTW. It should fill your gamebook cravin'

It even has the fancy de-luxe tokens that I wanted! :dance:


What an un-bear-ably cute card!

Original Santee has 1 of 2 packages on the way (ETA December 15th) and second will be shipped express tomorrow…LR Santee has all packages en route, first package ETA December 13th and the rest by December 17th.

Also, two more packages came to my doorstep:



Many thanks, godofchuck! I will be an expert in Horusology in the near future now.



Wow, was not expecting to have the HQest of Cogboy HQs too! No note inside, but gratitude aplenty to whomever sent Cawl.

These were both me! Logic dictated Cawl. Once you get the physical Bastard Elfboy, that's it for Christmas! From me.

I got a present too!

Dice bags! Well, I don't think that was the present part.


I suspect that is a play on words.


These will probably go well with my dice bag! But I don't know if I got an extra d6 or not enough. I'm going to go with extra, and feel blessed by the Eye of Sauron.

I got a cool looking OSR adventure on DTRPG today.



It looks cool, can't wait to dig into it and maybe throw it at my players.

I assumed that was the end of my TGSS journey for the year but then an absolute BRICK of Gloomhaven arrived without any note. I can only guess it's from LR2, in which case thank you!



These were from me, LR2 Santa! I have PMed you with a *digital gift* that I was going to send with the dtrpg order but then they didn't let me write a gift message and then I was going to send in a card but then I figured having it in a copy-pastable format would be much better.

I also had issues getting the last two pieces (the physical parts of that dtrpg book) and a SURPRISE to arrive on time, so enjoy your current gifts and then you will get a bonus second secret santa exchange! Sort of.

Also explained in the PM.

You mentioned getting started with a boardgame collection, so why not the Gloomhaven starter set!

I backed OU on Kickstarter and it is cool, first thing I thought of with OSR. The other parts of the KS are taking their sweet time to get done, but hey, enjoy the finished part!

Glad it sounds like you will enjoy the gifts!

It was a two-package day!

First I received an absurdly large box from Amazon with a gift bag inside:


DressCodeBlue's "hold-you-over' gift!


It's a box! What's in the box???


It's a card organizer, thanks DCB!


A very festive package number two was also received:


Thanks Santa #4!


Rocking! A noisy marine!


A custom dice case (and shaker?)


With chaos caps!


And there are thematic Slaanesh dice too!


Thanks Santas!

Thanks to both my Santas for picking up on my yearning to get back into tiny giant robots.
