How about we combine it into a choose-one: A voucher that can be traded for one free artifact, one free genemod, one free 10-cost or less item, OR other things like that?

No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.

That sounds overly generous. I'd prefer random artifacts.

10 token free items would be a massive power flood into the game.  A cheap Nyartifact would be better since it'd be of questionable utility.  PW did say that now they came in "name your own price" with power corresponding to tokens spent, so it could be a low-cost one.  Or if he wants to be !!Fun!! about it, roll 1d4-1 for cost, and have it be an exploding d4, so someone could get a 15-cost one if they're lucky enough.

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.

No. And I'm not saying that to be controlling, but that could seriously imbalance things (remember that one guy with the LESHO chaingun?), as well as being limited to a few people who could really make use of it.

I dunno about you guys.

But I'd like an artefact snowglobe. Effect up to PW, but I'd like something to happen when shaken.

I think giving everyone a nyartifact would be problematic, because it would stress PW a bit much, and add a whole lot of chaos to the game.  Plus, it's very very likely that one of those artifacts would be extremely abusable and over powered, especially if PW created sixty of them in one shot.

I think I'd prefer a second christmas party.  Maybe instead of purely random gifts, we could have a minigame of some sort, where the people who come in first get first pick/better chances to get a nice gift.

...Wow, the christmas party was a year ago, and that was just before the Heph defense.  That's a long time...

Heh, admitedly that sounded much more practical in my head than what it actually turned out to be. Though, now I have an idea for something MUCH more practical that actually fits my char(those remote controlled bombs I made in m16. When I get back to the ship, I'm gonna tinker up proper ones)

A nyars box for everyone would be a bit much. Hmmm.

Is there anything meta you guys want?

My ideal present would be some training with the Doctor on how to better control my abilities and utilize them easier and more effectively, but that might be too much.

On the best day of Christmas, P-dubs gave to me,

Five Golden Missions,
Four lore tidbits,
Three Xenophobes,
Two Henchmen,
and a new dice rolling system (prototype).

Hooray for Christmas songs!

Information is always a good payment/gift.

Just be careful you don't let people ask things like you let me ask for my information payment, otherwise it will spoil all the secrets and thus the fun.

The gift of Space Poetry from the mind of Space God would be acceptable.

Maybe an in-character poem from the Altered (or proto-Altered) if the previous doesn't work?

Something with some rhythm and mystery to it, in any case. With an epic feel to it, preferably.
