Just starting the topic.
For people who haven't taken part in a previous one, it works like secret santa. If you don't know what secret santa is, look it up.
Procedure:
1. People sign up here and someone collects everyone's names/addresses up via pm
until the end of September.
2. Someone makes a draw so each participant has someone to send to and someone (other) to receive from. Ideally a non-participant will make the draw.
3. People paint something for their recipient, and send it
by the end of November.
4. People receive their gifts in December and post pictures of them.
Rules:
1. Participants have to PAINT a heroquest figure.
2. Participants are NOT to reveal their recipient or their sender, until everyone has received their figure. Do not ruin the spirit (it has been done before).
3. Participants are expected to commit to this. If they can't do it for certain, then they shouldn't sign up.
Guidelines:
1. Regarding rule 1: Painting is mandatory. Conversions are nice but the finished result should be painted.
2. Don't feel like you have to paint something exquisite and that if you are not that good of a painter then you shouldn't join in. It's a fun thing and the level of the painted figures is irrelevant. Just give it your best shot. It's always been that way, you can read the comments of the previous exchanges.
3. If you finish your figure way earlier than the deadline, hold on to it and send it near the end of November. In any case, please DO NOT post any photo of a received figure before November 30.
4. It's customary to write your name under the base of the figure you're sending.
5. Generally people won't be able to receive from a person they already received a gift in a previous exchange.
