It has!

I'll take a few pictures tomorrow. For now, I'm in awe :)

Unfortunately, I'm still waiting on the mailman to get the stuff to me before Secret Santa can get to work. Luckily, it isn't Christmas yet.

Santa has been, and he's left me an awesome present!



I used to have this model many years ago, and lost it along with some other gaming stuff when a shipping crate went missing between army postings.  So, it's great to see an old friend again.  Nice one, Santa!  :)

My Secret Santa went wild on Pulp:



But not only that, he made me a special Pulp Alley Character card:



And the model to go with it:



It even has a BristleBag on its belt!

Just a big Shout of THANKS! To my Secret Santa!

Post Man came today, and delivered a nice package!

This is cool for lots of reasons, but one, because I was looking into getting into the "Skirmish" thing but didn't have any rules or info on how to go about it.

Now I got the Otherworld rule set, AND this killer Djinn!


Thanks Santa!!!!!

The first year is kind of tricky... we'll be experts by next year!

As long as folks meet the minimum requirement, there should be no hard feelings (I hope).  As stated, those that want to do more, can if they want, but there is a learning curve.  Over the years I have run these secret santa gift exchanges on Cigar Forums, Pirate Living History Forums, Corvette Restorer Car Forums, Guitar Forums, and now Miniatures (Yes, I have a LOT of hobbies, though I quit smoking cigars years ago) and its rare that someone feels slighted.

My girlfriend is telling me that my secret santa gift has arrived! It'll be a bit before I get a chance to open it, but she sent me a picture of the package and I am well excited :)
