Karen J. Cravens opened its mouth and moved its tongue and so spake to
me and said, On 25-12-04 16:31:

Apart from having the items on the wishlist I sent out, no prompting was
required - none of them are against gaming as such, and have all had a
few years by now to get to know the local dealers and such ;)

And, yes, I did indeed get a few things:
1) Dragonologi (orig. title: "Dragonology"), by Wayne Anderson,
   Douglas Carrel, and Helen Ward.
   Okay, so maybe this isn't technically neither a gaming item, nor a
   Christmas present, I still didn't get it before yesterday (we usually
   exchange gifts on the eve of the 24th here in Denmark) - being a
   month after my birthday. And it does seem to be pretty handsome,
   look-wise. Very interesting graphics and other kinds of
   ornamentation. Have yet to actually read it to see if the information
   on dragons is worth anything :p
2) Vampire: the Requiem dice set. (10 D10's with small bag/pouch.)
   Well... dice are always nice, aren't they? :D
3) The new World of Darkness core book.
   I've talked with my parents though, about their purchase of it, and
   they agreed to take it back to the store (Fantask) and switch it for
   the Changeling Player's Guide - I may have a better chance of getting
   to play the new WoD than I have of playing C:tD, but... I really like
   Changeling, and it's out-of-print whereas the new system will
   probably be available next year as well... (I probably won't be able
   to wait for winter next year to get the new WFRP anyway :p)

Hm... and then I got some folk music (Danish + Irish, trad. + contemp.),
but I don't know how much they would relate to gaming in your eyes :p

And... that turned out to be a bit longer than I had planned for, and I
have to get early to travel across our huge (...) country for my
girlfriend on the isle of Fanø (who isn't a role player... yet :p).

Good night for now list :)

- Freso
