Heroscapers Secret Santa 2009

[CheddarLimbo]

I'm sending out the names and lists on Thanksgiving, so feel free to update your list before the 26th. Just remember to send me a complete list with the updated items, don't send me one new thing to add to the list for the sake of my own sanity.

Hope I don't sound too much like an ingrate saying this, but I'll throw it out there anyway.

For those participating it's probably better to get your item(s) out and into the mail sooner than later. Why? Well I assume that many of the lists submitted will have items on them that the submitters have also put on their lists for family and friends (in my case my family will chew my Wife's ear off asking her what games I have been talking about lately that I don't have).

Better to know what should be crossed off early so there isn't duplication on Christmas day (of course if those receiving are going to wait until Christmas day to open, then to each his/her own).

There are a couple of items on my list that are actually for the kiddies and Santa wants/needs to know if he needs to deliver it himself or not.

I've actually only put things on my SS list that I have not asked for from any family/friends to avoid the chance of duplicates.

Another protip - A lot of people are sending me their wish lists along with links to a retailer that has the item in particular for a good price or significant discount. If you have the time and inclination to do so, this is a great time-saver for the person who gets your list and ensures that people don't overspend on an item if they can avoid it!

2 Days and Counting!

Yeah, I was going to do that... then I didn't.

SEVENTEEN! I think that's a great turn-out! But I'll keep the doors open - as it were - until midnight. You should expect to see the name and wishlist of your mark sometime tomorrow!

EDIT:

This morning, I used my Lucky D17 and randomly assigned everyone. All the wish-lists have been sent! Get to shopping, you jolly elves.

*bump*

So, how's everyone doing out there?

I thought I'd post a couple of good sales I saw this weekend:

Fantasy Flight Games has some cuh-RAZY good deals on games right now including, A Game of Thrones, Cthulu, Blue Moon Expansions, Drakon, Cave Troll, and lots of AT-43 stuff.

CoolStuffInc (a site sponsor) has a lot of games on sale, and they seem to be rotating their sales a bit more frequently. Some of their sale items including Castle Panic which was on a lot of people's lists!

I've gotten notification from a few Santas who have already sent their gifts off.

It would help me out a lot if I could get all participants to send me a PM when they have shipped so I can check everyone off the list. Once everything has been sent we can start with the clues.

[scottishlad5]

Shipped mine out today!

[Onacara]

I actually got my package already


My gift for my Secret Santa was ordered today and should ship out tomorrow.

[nyys]

My has already shipped... I think... better check with the better half. Make sure she didn't just return the stuff and head to the GAP with it.

[That Guy0715]

I sent my package out today, and also received mine.

[CheddarLimbo]

Awesome work guys, keep the updates coming!

I've also shipped the package to my Mark as well.

For those of you that have received your packages - have you opened them yet? If so, please tell us what you got, and remember to show us your "Oh!" faces!
