It seems like every year (no matter which forum... I have done these for Classic Cars, Pirate Living History, Cigars etc)
inevitably, somebody "can't do it" and I get an e-mail at the last minute (in this case, early-mid December) telling me somebody can't play.  Usually, I get gifts out in that persons place, so that everybody gets a gift.  And with this being an international forum, shipping charges can be more than the gift if i suddenly get somebody in New Zealand.

So, as a precaution, I kept myself out of the loop, so that if it happened, I could step in.  So far, so good this year... as nobody has dropped out after the names went out!

I just want everyone else to have a good time and enjoy it.  

They say, "Its the giving that counts" so I am all in on that!


Plus, there was kind of an uneven amount of folks when separated by country/continent... and I didn't want me to be the cause of somebody in Ireland having to ship a gift to Morocco...

Thank you Santa!!

I'm guessing it's from you seeing as I've never ordered from Meeplemart in Toronto.

No pics until Xmas Day folks, this is probably one of the few gaming related goodies I'll get this Xmas and I'm determined to resist until the big day!!

Ha!
That is why I did this... to ensure that we got some minis for Christmas!  My wife wouldn't have a clue, and none of my friends know I am into this....

It was a blast last year, and looks to be even better this year!

Hi Paul,

Can't wait to see what you do with the Old School Dungeon. I take it that the photos were the set that I assembled, otherwise you are very quick!!

Thanks for the miniatures as well, they look great. Pulp Alley Cthullu here we come. I'll post some photos off them over Christmas when they get some paint on them.

Cheers,

Chris

My secret surprise arrived a couple days ago but just managed to take a picture! They are 3 awesome metal inquisition troops in power armour. Oldhammer and glorious metal! I don't even have these guys yet. Thanks Santa!!

Hello Chris,
It seems a strange coincidence that we got drawn together by Santa.
Yep, that is your photo I stole. Much better than a picture of a cardboard box, I rhought,
It will be a while before I get a chance to work with them but when I do I will post up the results on here.
Cheers!
 :D

As for the Deep Ones....well, what does one get the man who has such a vast range in hos store?
Something that isn't in it, of course.
Hope that you like them as I know that you have been considering a bit of Pulp-Cthulhu at some point.
Thanks again,
Paul



And a another huge THANK YOU! to Revfan for organising this again.
 :D

I had a box delivered this morning, neatly wrapped in gift paper.

Unfortunately my wife saw it and consequently I have been forbidden to open it until Christmas.......

I got a present from secret santa today. A very nice infinity sniper and some awesome ancient Greeks. They will go straight into service in my Trojan war project. Danish post had been less than kind to them. So I spend half an hour gluing and retouching paint. But other than that they will fit right with my other Greeks.


Thanks Secret Santa!

Anyone NOT get a gift in the mail yet?

My father passed away, so I have to fly back to to the states on Tuesday... and probably wont have much access to the forum for a while...
