LOL I like those. :heart:

Resting Grinch Face! I do love puns :laughing:.

Might there also be room for one more on the fall end of the spectrum for people not ready to go into full winter weather mode yet? (Spoiler: Fall is my favorite season.)

The best similarly mischievous ones I could come up with were Grand Theft Autumn and Raking and Entering, but I should have been going to sleep then so there are probably better. Or at least less criminal…

haha, love the grand theft autumn! :laughing: I agree, it would be nice to have at least one autumn group in the mix. :slight_smile:

Ok! We’ll do four teams, one with an autumn theme. I also like Raking and Entering (@gozer, you would like that one! :grin:). I will update the team names now. It will be fun to see the team roster switched up :hearts:

Announcing something fun for the next round of nerd games! :slight_smile:

Happy Fall / Winter quarter! This quarter we are doing a 12 week advent event! Each week on Sunday I will post a new prompt for you to craft. These prompts are just like the normal monthly prompts, and are in addition to the normal monthly prompts. You will just have a lot more prompts this season to work with! Have fun and Happy holidays!

First advent calendar window will open on October 4th!

Thank you! :trident: (There seems to be no rake emoji, so I had to settle for the trident. :woman_facepalming:.)

@QueenHobo just posted something exciting over in the new Fall Nerd Games thread! I am looking forward to sharing the surprise… eventually… Anyone that knows me knows that I hate waiting to share surprises, so this will be torture. Torture I tell you!

Oooh! Mysterious! I love it!

And, how liberal can we be with the Bingo cards? If I have something made with paper, and paper comes from trees, can I count it for trees?

I might need to print the other cards to see if I can get at least one line! My planned projects matched wonderfully. My actual projects, not as much!

How can i say no now? :smiley: but sadly it’s 1.30am and I’ve got to wake up at 7 (bad me, going to bed this late).
But if posting former projects is fine does that mean i can combine this craftalong with the HP one if the prompts fits? Can’t remember if the rules mentioned it.

Your projects are supposed to have been crafted withing the current season, with the exception of swap items. You can totally post the same projects in both swaps. We get creative with the prompts. As long as you explain why/how your project fits, you’re good to go. The only time sensitive prompts are the monthly battles. The rest of the prompts can be crafted any time during the season.
