Christmas Loot (Phase 1)

Bygamingballistic

We are all down here in Arizona, so the stuff that we’re giving each other within the family stayed at home. We’ll do that tomorrow.

For now, I received

  • 11 sets of polyhedral dice
  • Lifting straps to transfer deadlift weight from my grip to my wrists
  • A gift certificate to amazon for woodworking tools
  • Inline skates so I can stop renting the horrid stuff at the skating rink
  • An improvised weapon that might also be a charcoal grill scraper
  • A digital caliper so I can get good dimensions on my shield edges
  • A desk ornament.

We shall see what tomorrow brings! Truth be told, I still need to shop for my wife…

GM: +Nathan Joy Players: +Mark Langsdorf , +Theodore Briggs , +Emily Smirle , and me. After we found the cleft in the wall from last game, we decided that we needed to just walk into trouble.
