Greetings, Incognito Ironbeards!

Thanks so much to all twenty-seven folks who signed up! By now you've all got your assignments and should be scheming to put together the perfect present for your giftee. If you didn't get a note on official Ironbeard Incognito stationery, or if you lost it or accidentally mailed it to someone else, please let me know so I can send you another!


I've had a few questions come in and I did promise more details on how this is going to go, so allow me to take care of all that here:

1. There's no price limit, high or low. You can get your giftee a new outfit, a meal, an artifact, write them a song, paint them a portrait, teach them the two-step... anything!

2. If you have a good idea and don't have the skills or funds to make it happen, let me know so I can help!

3. It's okay to chat with friends or the friends of your giftee to brainstorm ideas. Be discreet and have fun, but on the off chance word gets around and you out yourself, it's not the end of the world.

4. You've got time. Ironbeard and his gnomes haven't even shown up yet, and the first of these exchanges won't be happening until about midway through their visit to the Basin. If you've got a design in the works and it's taking a little longer to get through approval than expected, don't fret! No one's going to be empty-handed, and I'll let your giftee know if their present is going to be a little late.

5. When you've got your gift assembled, send it to ~me~ first, rather than to your giftee directly. I'll be stuffing them into fun packages and having them delivered in style with some additional goodies and words of Solstice cheer. If your gift is something intangible, an artifact, or a live performance, let me know and we'll make arrangements to get it delivered.


Hope that clarifies some things, but if you have any more questions I promise I'll be happy to answer them. I've been doing a little espionage for folks too, which has been a blast. Keep it up, and enjoy the season of good vibes.

And to everyone who didn't sign up for the gift exchange... No shame on you. We all have to fill our own cups to overflowing before we can fill others', and there's nothing wrong with taking care of yourself. Chase your Pleasure, always!
