Drizztmas this year is on March 16. That gives us roughly 3 months to set up this exchange. Plenty of time to decide if you are going to join in on the fun! Last year was a tremendous success, we had quite a few folks join us in the exchange. We even had some hosts join in like CADave, HoseirRob, and Bill Roper! AND EVEN BARELY MORE THAN A LISTENER PROBIES LIKE TIM!I got back several of the forms I sent out saying that the exchange was a blast and that they would like to make it an annual thing. So, here I am setting it up for 2018! DRIZZTMAS EXCHANGE GUIDELINES• Email drizztmas@gmail.com to sign up. • Gift minimum is $20, no max. • Don’t sign up if you can’t complete the exchange. • Only those with completed forms returned by the due date will be matched. • RPG related gifts are encouraged, but not required. • Feel free to include links to an Amazon Wish List or the like with your form. • Please make a post in the forum about your gift once it is received. • Have fun! Here is our timeline for this year's exchange: - 12/26-02/02: Sign up! All official like and fill out and return the Questionnaire (that I will send you) to help your match with their gifting!
- 02/09: Matches will be sent out.
- 03/10: All gifts should be sent out by this point.
- 03/16: Drizztmas!

I’m interested but I’m located in Canada. Would that be a problem?

Hmmm... sounds fun... but what exactly are the rules? No rules really. Just general expectations. It is expected that if you say you participate, that you will. It is expected that if you participate that you will exchange something of a $20 relative value(at least, more is optional but encouraged). It is expected that you will make an attempt to give an item that aligns with your matches likes(as provided in the form that I will send to all participants). It is expected that your item is shipped in time for it to be received as close to Drizztmas as possible. It is not so much expected, but highly encouraged, that you make a post here on the forums about your participation in the exchange(pics would be nice), and to thank your gifter.

Why is the sign up so far away from the actual exchange date? Last year we did it around February, did we have a bunch of no-gifts?

We didn't have any no-gifts at all actually, but in the follow up questionnaire I had a few folks who said they wished they had more time to work on what they were going to give. I know that some folks actually commissioned some items, others made things, etc. I also had a few people mention that they missed the sign up window because they didn't know about it(people who don't frequent the forums and such). I figured starting things earlier would help fix both of those issues.
