Yes people.... Now that sign ups for Secret Satan's are done I'm opening this up!
The idea here is to spread holiday generosity. Maybe you've had a rough year financially and you want to get something for a loved one or for your children. Maybe you just want something for yourself...thats OK! We all need a good pick me up and anyone who is signing up to give is doing it because they want to make people happy
Nothing terribly fancy. I need people willing to give and people willing to receive.
If you sign up to give... There is no obligation. If you end up not being able to please just let me know and I'll do what I can to get something to your person. If you want to give, send me a PM saying I'M IN FOR SAINTS! and indicate how many people you want to give for. There's no cash minimum or maximum. You can give a piece of physical or digital art. It's all for fun and to help out someone who maybe isn't in the best place this holiday season. GIFTERS MAY REMAIN ANONYMOUS IF THEY WISH
If you sign up to receive... Be an active member, if you aren't a particularly active member, have an active member who can vouch for you. While I don't see it being an issue, I don't want anyone taking advantage of people and their generosity. Send me a PM with your name and address. Let me know if your signing up for a gift for yourself or a loved one. Link a wishlist or give me some general interests. What consoles do you have? Have Steam or an E-reader? What size clothes?
I'm going to leave signs up open until 12/1. Then I'll organize who is sending to who.
Let's have fun with this and spread around that good forum Christmas cheer.

I hope folk sign up for rad giftin' for you and your fam'
We love ya, and hope you have a nice Christmas & Holiday Season.
Pretty much every year I've seen amazing postin!
So I once again signed up to be a giftee because I work with children and whoa if that earns me near NOTHING in the form of Texa$$$. So if you want, I will happily accept your gifts. With that said, here’s some general information about me to better inform you for sending me cool stuff.
Clothing/Fashion
I’m a slanky/slim guy by design, wearing large (mediums can fit) shirts and very monochromatic outfits. Jacket-wise I’m a size 40 men’s large, and for pants I’m a 34-34. One item that would be appreciated are more sweat pants, as I’d like to be able to attend the gym more than three times a week.
Literature
I’m a big fan of comic books, but I only really follow stories via trades. The last trades I got were years ago with Fraction’s Daredevil #1 & Hickman’s Fantastic Four #1. Of those two I’d really like to continue Hickman’s story, so there’s that. For books that don’t involve pictures, I’m generally lacking in classically solid/good fantasy & sci-fi books. I’m grabbing Dune soon, but basically everything else is open. LoTR, ASoF&I, ect… If you think it’s prudent to expand my literary horizons and I ought to possess/read it, I’m game.
Board, Video & Role-Playing Game
I’m always down for new, or classic, board games. In my late twenties I have started to shift more towards board games than video games, but I don’t have too many. I don’t have Settlers of Catan, Pandemic, Ticket to Ride, Puerto Rico, Coup, Battlestar Galactica, Betrayal at House on the Hill, Arkham Horror, Twilight Imperium, Secret Hitler, or One Night Ultimate Werewolf. So any of those, from what I have heard/seen, would be cool? For role-playing games I predominantly play Pathfinder from Paizo, so any products to help with that would be swell. I have the core book, the first two bestiary books, & both of the Rise of the Runelord & Curse of the Crimson Throne adventure paths. Finally, video games. I don’t actually play video games…? I have a Gamecube and a Gameboy SP, so if you want to send any old games for those two, sure! Yeah! But I don’t have anything in the way of a modern console.
Food & Beverages
I got a whole bunch of stuff that my body straight up despises. I’m lactose intolerant, possess acid-reflux disease and I might be allergic to stone-fruit? So no coffee stuff, I simply can’t use it at all. But I have been wanting to get into drinking more hot cocoa, so maybe a high-quality mug for that? The standard meals I eat are sandwiches, hot dogs, pizza, pierogies, pasta, and soups. I KNOW! STOP JUDGING ME! So if there is something to make any of those better? Sure? I’m also.. How do I put this… I have an affinity towards alcohol, so any gizmos or gadgets for the consumption of booze could be nice.
Film & Television
I have a bunch of television shows & films on dvd/blu-ray, but I’m always happy to expand my collection. Starting off I have no Disney movies on dvd or blu-ray, and that seems sad. Stuff like Aladdin, Hercules & Emperor’s New Groove would be awesome. For films I am severely lacking in classic Asian martial arts/kung-fu films. Stuff like The 36th Chamber of Shaolin, Iron Monkey Fist of Legend, Master of the Flying Guillotine and any other Shaw Brothers films. For television I have somehow never gotten around to picking up any of Batman Beyond? So that’s be nice? Also, I keep hearing good things about Babylon 5, but I’ve never seen it. So that too?
That should cover it, I’m just happy to receive anything. A big advance thank-you to all the gifters and I do hope you have a joyous holiday season.
So is it cool if I draw attention to this thread in the D&D Secret Santa thread?
Yes... Yes it would.
Yes... Yes it would.
This year, I stalled out on my education (but I'm trying again in January!), came back to my father's place (who can provide the basics, but not more), accrued some credit card debt, and tried looking for a job. I hope that I will be hired; if I am, most of the money I make will go towards servicing my credit card debt. Also I suffer from [mental health issues-Ed], so I'm not as independently productive (i.e. writing) as I want to be.
So, if somebody wants to give me a gift, I'd really appreciate it.
If you do, here are some suggestions:
Music : I like folk metal, especially Equilibrium. I don't have any of their albums, and considering the number of times I've listened to them on youtube, I really should.
Video Games : My steam account is Elaro, so you can check out my wishlist. Or, if steam is not your thing, you could get me Donkey Kong Returns: Tropical Freeze for the Wii U. I like platformers, you see.
Others : I love warhammer 40k stuff (my favorite book is the Horus Heresy book "A Thousand Sons")! I also love other scifi, and esoteric fantasy in general (like Neil Gaiman's Sandman, or Kill Six Billion Demons)...
Um, Thank you, and thanks to everyone who gives! I really appreciated it last year!
I signed up to receive for this this year because I've kinda never budgeted very well but now with my car payments every month and all that I've decided it'd be nice to start saving and stop trying to just make it by month to month. Pay off some debts and a the like. I never do much for Christmas except Secret Satans but decided I couldn't justify that given my previously stated decision. On top of that the fear and uncertainty regarding the political future of my source of income has gotten me pretty shaken up.
So if you feel so inclined any generosity this year would be make me very grateful.
Here are my suggestions:
GAMES - if you are leaning towards something along this line I have a ps4 and a PC, my steam name is jarofmoldymayo and the url is uriel1018.
MUSIC and MOVIES - I am into metal and hard rock music and recently got a turntable. Movies are a favorite pass time of mine too, I like a lot from classics like Casablanca or Kurosawa's Oeuvre to modern genre films or your average action movies.
COMICS or BOOKS - I am always into the idea of reading more sci-fi or fantasy books but rarely have much of a attention span getting them done quickly, that said it isn't like books have a use by date. Also I red the first volume of SAGA and would love to read more.
If you need any more ideas. you can take a look at my personal amazon wishlist for ideas!
Thank you all, too. Truly you guys are the best.
They Just got me a copy of Ori and the Blind Forrest.
Thanks so much! Merry Christmas!
I'm signing up to receive because 1) Raijin told me to and b) it's been a pretty terrible year for me, both emotionally and financially. Bought a house when we really shouldn't have, got another dog when we really shouldn't have, and then have had to take said dogs to the vet three times in the last 3 months, so it's going to be a light Christmas.
Steam wishlist: http://steamcommunity.com/id/dinosaurkeith/wishlist/
Shirt size: medium/small, depending on how large that particular shirt runs
It's more for my boo and the dogs (created separate Amazon wishlists for them), but can also be for me I guess
Re: Amazon wishlist: I know there's expensive stuff on there, but that's mostly for reminders of stuff we need/want once we can afford (which is why there's multiples of different things like lawn mowers and dog houses).
I'm hesitant to join this, because (as Raijin will attest), I hate asking people for anything. But I really appreciate all of you good people regardless.
I signed up for this this year.
The stress of this year has literally hospitalized me recently, and I just don't have the funds or cheer I nominally would have.
I believe I have a steam wishlist in my signature. I like fanart, I have a 3DS a PSP a Wii U and a computer. My Xbox 360 recently uh...died somehow. I dunno if it is a problem with the A/C adapter or the system, but it's doesn't work, and that's rather annoying.
Oh, I've been looking for an SNES game called King of Dragons for a while if you have one of those.
KING of DRAGONS
never played the snes version
but the arcade version was so goddamn cool
One of my favorites out of 2016
I seem to go in waves of playing a ton of stuff on Steam, then a ton on ps4, then 3ds, etc
I think I started 6 different games in June and didn't actually play any of them
Oh yeah. How did Assassin's Creed: Syndicate go for you?
"Hey Steve! You should buy Syndicate so I can play it too!"
THEN YOU NEVER PLAYED IT!
I rented it all the time as a kid.
And it wasn't until a few months ago that I finally tracked down the name of the damn game.
