Christmas Presents?

[Turtlejay]

Breaking a four year streak (or is it five?) I got no gaming gifts this year. Well, no D&D gifts, I did get a few xbox games, which is nice. But there was the streak. . .

I'm constantly trying to keep my library under control, but I did ask for and receive the Pathfinder Bestiary anyway.

Yep... my awesome wife worked with her family to make sure that I got great, geeky stuff. Some of my best presents:
Empire of the Petal Throne boxed set from 1975 in near mint condition
Planescape Planes of Chaos boxed set
Planescape Planes of Conflict boxed set
Planescape Planes of Law boxed set

BTW, I'm digging your presents Bytor!! Most cool.

Thanks! I had no idea Lulu.com copies would look so very nice. I am totally buying more books from them. Osric looked like it came off the shelf at borders!

Only thing gaming related was the board game Pandemic.

As I don't play 4E and if I asked for Pathfinder I'd end up having to define the difference between modules, adventure paths, catalogs, etc. it would annoy my family members, so if I want gaming stuff it is just best to buy it myself.

Nothing RPG related this Christmas for me (I buy all my 4e stuff myself from Amazon), but I gave my future brother-in-law the PHB Holiday Gift Set, which he enjoyed receiving. My parents did buy my fiancee and I a Wii, which we've been playing since we set it up around 6pm tonight.

My cousin gave me "The Plane Below" which is great because I was just going to buy it.

My gaming group got me a few different Cthulu christmas CDs (which I'm afraid to listen to) and gift certificates to my FLGS.

My wife (just married this month, sounds weird still) gave me a warcraft calender and more ram for our computer to run Dragonage better.

I got the Pathfinder Bestiary and the Pathfinder Core Rulebook, as well as a handful of D&D Miniatures (including a very cool drider).

Oh, and I also got a poster mailing tube (at my request), so I can roll up my maps and take them to a game session easier. (I draw them on the back of those desk blotter calendars.) Not a traditional D&D gift, but I think it counts.

I got the new HeroQuest rules for Christmas!

And on the giving end of things, I gave out some D&D-related gifts as well. I got my son a new set of blue dice and some D&D miniatures, and I gave each of my five players a six-part folder for each of their characters, with sections for their character sheets, attack matrices for their various weapons, class abilities/feats, equipment, spells, and animal companions/familiars/wildshape forms. I also did up an extra folder for the 5-year-old son of the family we game with, only his pages were all blank for him to draw his character, weapons, treasure, monsters he's killed, and so on. They went over pretty well, and my two sons and I have already put one set of their folders into use yesterday.

Thats awesome! I started gaming Christmas day with my 3yo daughter. I figured a dwarf with a big axe would be pretty easy for her to roleplay, and I was right! She had a blast, and saved my older daughters skin twice.
