Ye Old Christmas Exchange 2025

[guitarhulk]

Good Evening (or morning)

Let's get this started for 2025:
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 9/30/2025.
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 but not necessary.
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 after 90% have received theirs.

Rules:
1. Participants have to PAINT a HeroQuest type figure Warhammer Old World or fantasy type mini.
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, go ahead and send it. Please send you mini by the end of November. In any case, please DO NOT post any photo of a received figure before a majority of others have received.
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'll wait to see how things are going before confirming my partecipation, I am very busy these days, but I will try to be in once again!

[guitarhulk]

It wouldn't be the same without you Lestodante!

I'm not going to be able to this year. Still a lot going on behind the scenes.

Let's wait and see how many participants we get and then we can figure out who will do the draw.

[lpblanks]

Count me in!

[guitarhulk]

So far we have three confirmed. Anyone have any ideas how to spread the word?

[Kurgan]

Social media? Influencers? I could do a video promoting it here in a few days.

If you could, that would be great.
