This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas, and got lots of cool gaming stuff!

My haul:
Heavy Rain - a PS3 investigative game. I've only just started, but so far, it is awesome.
B&N gift cards - Likely to be used on a Shadowrun book.
Other assorted stuff like Steelers sweaters.
Sword and Board - My blog about BFRPG, S&W, Hi/Lo Heroes, and other games.
Sword & Board: BFRPG Supplement Free pdf. Cheap print version.

Nothing yet - our Christmas is today. I don't expect to get much gaming stuff, but I do plan to pool the money I get to purchase LotFP.

Santa's been very kind with me this year on the gaming front -
  • Advanced Adventures from Expeditious Retreat Press:
Seven Shrines of Nav'k-Qar
Barrow Mound of Gravemoor
  • Famine in Far-Go for Gamma World.
  • Cadwallon: City of Thieves board game.
  • Some Reaper miniatures
  • Kits to get me started on Miniatures dioramas, waterfalls, that sort of thing.

Chrono Trigger DS
Disgaea 2 and 3
Team Fortress 2 T-shirt
TF2 posters

Related geekiness (some of which I snagged for myself 'cause it's either too old or too obscure):
The Walking Dead Omnibus Vol 1 (serial volumes 1-48)
Azumanga Daioh Omnibus
Independence War Deluxe Edition
Civilization IV Complete
"In a way, the Lands of Dream are far more brutal than the worlds of most mainstream games. All of the games set there have a bittersweetness that I find much harder to take than the ridiculous adolescent posturing of so-called \'grittily realistic\' games. So maybe one reason I like them as a setting is because they are far more like the real world: colourful, crazy, full of strange creatures and people, eternal and yet changing, deeply beautiful and sometimes profoundly bitter."

So far Christmas has been very good to me...and I didn't even have to sit in a strange chubby guys lap for any of it.

Max Headroom DVDs
Final Crisis Graphic Novel
Starman Omnibus hardback
New re-release of "Strangers on a Train" with the alternate version released in the UK.
MRQ II Vikings
Sherlock (the new BBC series)

Also had the gang over for chocolate fondue on Christmas eve and we powered trough Lord of the Rings hopped up on sugar and various interestingly named drinks.

Gonna go see the parents in a few days for New Years and we will exchange gifts as well.

Hope everyone's holidays have been good.

It's probably been 20 years or more since I last got anything gaming-related as a gift. A couple of things I got could be considered tangentially related to gaming, because they strike me as either a good prop - Crystal Head Vodka, which comes in a nifty, though smaller than life-size (unless the owner was a hobbit, I guess) crystal-skull-shaped bottle - or inspiration for a magic item in D&D - a GPS system for my car.

4e definitely has an Old School feel. If you disagree, cool. I won\'t throw any hyperbole out to prove the point.

Have you seen the original commercial with Dan Aykroyd? It's ludicrous.

I'm going to pool some gift money and get into Dystopian Wars. Maybe get a nice Peterson pipe. Possibly an overindulgent Oberon notebook. Post-Christmas is always a nice time for me.

Not only have I seen that ad, but my bottle was signed by him. I love that commercial. You can see him barely holding off laughter as he talks about it being filtered through diamonds. Oh, it's actually pretty good vodka. There really is a hint of vanilla in the flavor.

I've been spending much of my Christmas vacation reliving old games... so far, Master of Magic and Master of Orion II. I may have to pull that out and give it a go.
