It's on the table...might be a little bit though.  Trying to whip up a heap of Old West terrain for an SnS reboot first.  But it's actually about second in line for the dungeon stuff! lol

Looks like some folks had Great Secret Santa's!  Or we have been good boys and girls this year!

Now that its done, I gotta say that I stumbled out of the starting gate. 

I have probably run 20 secret santa's for online forums, and have yet to mess one up, until THIS one!  I make a spread sheet, match folks up, and then cut and paste them into a PM to send out.   I made the mistake of cutting once, and pasting twice, so ONE lucky guy got two gifts... and that also meant ONE of you got none...

I was the "unlucky" one as I got the gift from Greg. But I am really curious in what my original gift was!
My gifts went to Jase...but he found out as soon as he opened the box. Guess he recognises my painting style and preference in miniatures. And yes, we often whatsapp... ;)

Hey Wolfie,

Glad you like them... I guess you know by now I was your Santa.

I would appreciate that  you send me pictures of the minis you will put on them once you do.

PS: will post pictures of the oversea Secret Santa I got once I find the time.

Here's what I got from my Santa from across the sea. It's quite a hull and it will greatly help me to customize my Infinity Nomads.




I think I'm supposed to be the lucky bastard who gets two gifts. **blush** Althought I haven't received the second one yet.

Thanks to all of you! I hope you are all happy with your gift, I know I am.

I sent you this :)

I'm relieved it reached you, and you like it! I'd like to see what you'll do with it; so link me up when you've painted the girls! ;) :D

Hey Folks!

I had a lot of fun with this last year... and would consider running it again this year if there is enough interest.

If there is enough interest... I'll start a new thread in a few weeks.  Same as last year, unless there are some suggestions to make it better.

Rough time frame... sign ups up to Nov 20.... Try to have your gift out by Dec 1st... last year there were a few late gifts and due to the international flavor of the forum, we should leave plenty of time for gift arrival.

Cheers!
