No haha, but I like how your G&T santa and CF Santa just kind of cross threads to get you presents. I wish I could take credit, but that is a fantastic game - enjoy!
I thought I clicked Interceptors, but that works as well.
And... there is one more package coming. Smaller, lighter, but it shipped first, arrived in your town first, and will get delivered last.
Go Figure.
A package! Along with 3 other packages of stuff I had ordered from Amazon!
Funny that I'm trying to get you to guess my name and this card game is about that! May you and your henchmen enjoy this expansion and New Year!
Monikers Something Something! Yes, that's the actual name. I have Monikers and Monikers Shmonikers and its one of our favorite games when the whole family is together! This will be FANTASTIC for Christmas! Thank you!
Thank you @Grunt's Ghosts! Some awesome stuff you have provided for entertainment all around! I've already got my ships tucked away in their case. Working on a new squad to use them as well.
Yup! Shmonikers has a bunch of blank cards to make your own as well. Something Something doesn't come with any blanks. Both add some great options. Plus, they're not too expensive.

Yay it got there! Hopefully it will be useful, the thing I mostly know about 40k is that people seemed to love forgeworld stuff so I picked what looked the coolest and stuck to your brief!

While I was out with my four year-old yesterday afternoon, a Mysterious Package arrived! Were those winged dice on the packing tape?
I opened the box and found several beautifully-wrapped packages inside! My daughter, looking on, asked the most pressing question of all: can I play with the bubble wrap? (Yes.)
I managed to convince my daughter to help me unwrap the gifts before she took off, though - and what a bounty within!
(The dark object behind Time Stories is my daughter cheekily not-photobombing)
In the accompanying card, my Santa explained that my suggestions had been disregarded in favour of some games that he thought I'd enjoy - and what a wise decision that turned out to be! Getting a Secret Santa gift is rad - but a gift you never expected? Double rad.
Mysterium is a cooperative game quite well-received here, in which the ghost of a murder victim tries to help a team of psychics identify their killer. Time Stories is the oft-discussed game of time-travelling cops, and Kodama: The Tree Spirits is a sweet card game about trying to please adorable, pot-bellied fairies by growing the most magnificent tree possible. My brother and I were supposed to go meet friends ahead of Rogue One last night, but we ended up skipping the restaurant to play Kodama instead.
A very sincere Thank You to my Santa and fellow Canuck @ArcticLancer for your great thoughtfulness and amazing generosity!

Yay, it arrived even quicker than I expected~
So, I knew what I wanted to get you basically since the day targets went out. The trick was that I was being a good employee and not buying our stock off the shelves, and placed orders for the games. And then EVERYTHING was backordered. :P Mysterium actually isn't going to come back until the new year, so one of my bosses (knowing this was for a gift exchange) snagged a copy from our other location for me. But yeah, one of the biggest benefits you could have gotten was that I get games basically at cost, so I was allowed to go all-out on you without destroying the budget. How fortuitous for you.
Really glad to hear you enjoyed the alternative picks (and that your daughter enjoyed the bubble wrap). The packing tape does have flying dice, but it's actually the logo for Hawk Wargames, as I sent your gift in the box my kickstarter stuff came in. I hadn't even considered that it was a cool theme ... it was just the right size. >_>
Merry Christmas, weasel family~ Don't forget to share some pictures of completed Kodama games.

Everything seems to be safe, the tribble assures me that there are no high explosives.
I don't stop to think about the wide variety of other adjectives that can be used to describe explosives and dig in. Sometimes a bomb sniffing tribble can be a real monkey's paw...
The tribble seems particularly interested in the plastic containers.
The letter says they contain gingerbread cookies, so I can understand the tribbles attachment. I don't look forward to the coming fight for gingerbread, but I will do what must be done.
The haul, unwrapped:
Apologies for the poor picture.
That's a Protectorate Choir, High Executioner Servath Reznik, Visgoth Rhoven and his Bodyguards, a Wold Wyrd and a Wold Watcher (packed in the same box as Reznik and Rhoven in what must have been an amazingly uncomfortable silence).
Also, a copy of What We Do In The Shadows, which I am sad to say I've not heard of before today, but certainly looks like my sense of humor.
And, what needed to be done has been done.
The taste of gingerbread is only made better by the taste of victory.
Tribble innards look suspiciously like a red kitchen towel. Who would have guessed?
Thanks @Gizzy, this is some great stuff here.
And the gingerbread is awesome. I don't think it's going to last long.

Kodama is a great game that I would enjoy more if I wasn't mysteriously incapable of winning it.
The front office has just notified me that a package was delivered! It might be awhile until I can open it, but wanted to let Santa know it got here alright!
Excited!
Edit: I should clarify that "awhile" means days, not hours. I found out i had a package when i was in the airport to leave Phoenix...
I got an email saying my Santee's gift has shipped!
There was no choice for a message, so if you get a mysterious package from Wayland Games perhaps its from me...
So yeah, I opened this up hours ago but one thing about 13th Age is those books are like TVTropes for me. I start reading one thing, think of something, jump to that, start reading that, and the cycle continues....
So I got the 13 True Ways and 13th Age Bestiary, which look lovely next to my 13th Age Core Book.
I guess the fates have decided that I run more 13th Age, which is good, because I'm still writing out ideas for my Warehouse 13th Age game.
Santa didn't leave a calling card, so you'll have to speak up.

The box, and its contents!
With Donnie for scale
Waiting inside, a multitude of plastic bags!
Oh, and some things as well. Things like Love Letter! I've gotten to play this before and I thought it was pretty fun. Glad I have a copy of my own now!
Coup! I've heard good things about this but I've never gotten a chance to play!
THOR, GOD OF THUNDER! I don't have a lot of Marvel hardcovers, so this is definitely a treat. I've been trying to read this all day but I have to keep socializing with friends and family because of the holidays. WHATEVER MAN, I JUST WANNA READ COMICS.
Eternal Masters packs! YASSS. I know my Santa expressed some concern that these may not have been the right packs, but they are! I ended up pulling a few useful pieces for a Commander deck I'm building!
Invincible! One of the few comics I follow in single issues and hardcovers! VERY glad to see this!
All together now! (Also holy crap, my phone has a shitty camera!)
I got a box! It had a thing in it! Looks like it's from Wayland games, hmmmm I wonder if anyone mentioned anything about something being delivered by Wayland games recently *cough* @Dayspring *cough* .Picture background sponsored by the fabulous catstronauts duvet.
The box!
And insiiiiiiiiiide.....
Holy crap! It's the new edition of Blood Bowl! A few of our group have picked this up recently and I was going to borrow a team to compete in a small tournament, but now I have my own!
@Dayspring this is insanely generous and I can't thank you enough. After a day of frantic final Christmas shopping yesterday and a final day of work before the Christmas break today this has cheered me up no end. Thank you Santa (and Santee!) from the other side of the globe!

I'm glad you like it! Despite being into literally every other stereotypically-geeky hobby, I somehow managed to completely pass Magic by. Not that I'm completely unaware of it or anything, but I'm glad that you named a specific set in your suggestions message; otherwise, I would have been a bit lost. I feel like tearing open a booster is one of life's great pleasures, so I'm glad I was able to provide that. The fact that there was something useful inside is even better!
Happy holidays!

On a related note, GIFT FINALLY SENT AAHHHH
Had to take care of some last-minute bills and other shopping first, but the deed is done at last! I hope my Santee doesn't mind some after-Christmas gifts! (Also to compensate for the lateness I threw in another whole gift. Please don't be mad!)

I received a mysterious box a few days ago. What could it be?
Hmm. That's a ... worrying message.
Aha! The game is afoot!
A lovely copy of Letters from Whitechapel, the Jack the Ripper-hunting game. This is going to be an excellent addition to my collection and gaming nights. Thank you so much, Iron Weasel! :biggrin:

Letters from Whitechapel is so damn good. It's also super hard and rewarding to play Jack and win when the detectives are smart, competent players.

I knew I forgot to add something when I ordered it! I'm glad you like it.
Hopefully the bestiary has something nice and evil you can include as a reoccuring pain for your heroes to fight!
If, if Reagan played disco He'd shoot it to shit You can't disco in Jackboots
Hmm I received a set of fancy metal dice in the mail yesterday, but no name or note indicates who may have sent it. I've received most of my other secret santa gifts so I'm guessing it's probably from here?
I'll get pics when I can get some decent light - and if it did originate here, thank you mystery Santa! I'm GMing a 13th Age game and a varied set of metal polyhedrals is just the ticket to spook my players >:D

Absolutely! I understand that Whitechapel also works better than Fury with a smaller number of players, so it'll likely be very useful when the attendance is lower. Thank you very much once again!
