[14th] Ye Olde Inn Christmas Exchange 2024

[guitarhulk]

Good Evening (or morning)

I haven’t seen a feed regarding a 2024 exchange. Would anyone be interested in joining this year?

Let's get this started for 2024:
The rules are the same as previous years.

Procedure:
1. People sign up here and someone collects everyone's names/addresses up via pm until 11/3/2024.
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 very welcome 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.

I unfortunately have to miss out this year. A lot of personal stuff preventing me from participating.

I haven't seen it posted yet this year and I'm not opposed to the idea at all. I started that group and used to share that the Inn Members did a Christmas exchange every year. I do think though that anyone from the Facebook page should have an active Inn account here. This would be for communication reasons.

Looks like we are at 5 right now. Any other ideas how to spread the word?

[Rath of Un]

Couple ideas,
Might want to edit the title of [13] ye olde.... Like the other years.
I think in years past they have sent PM's to any previous people who have participated.
It also could be that it is just an Unlucky year..
