...are there any rules on who can give newbie gifts and what they can be? There probably aren't, but just in case.

Well, hi, I guess. This is my first post, after all. So, well, that's really it. And also, I apparently decided to write this like I'm actually saying it.

Anyway, nice to meet you. I'm Twistey, an amateur game developer/artist/musician/writer/ham radio operator/etc. Uh... I don't have much else to say. Welcome to the PPC!

You can start giving welcome gifts of any sort the very day you show up on the Board, if you feel like it. I mean, don't give things that are in poor taste, but if we've ever had that happen it was before I joined (which I did about four years ago), so don't worry about that too much. People give all sorts of things, too--I've given bleep candies, Skarmory gives spikes (which I keep picturing as metal feathers? Not sure if that's how he means it), Sue objects are popular (and frequently invented on the spot rather than actually picked up from a badfic as an agent might do), and I remember getting a tribble when I joined, so you've also got canon objects. There's quite a range. Go wild, find your thing--have fun.

...I'm going to start giving newbies their choice of souvenirs from both the iD Software 'verse, other obscure 'verses, and my own created universes.
Since Blue Pearl doesn't seem to be the type for first person shooters, and I don't have a Wattpad account yet so explanations of what stuff is in my universes aren't readily accessible, I guess I'll just give a backup gift.
Here, have your own pet history textbook. I haven't house trained him yet, and those teeth on his edges are a bit sharp, so... uh... good luck.

Welcome to the PPC! From your name, can it be assumed that you're a Steven Universe fan? (If so, have hugs. If not, have an Archive Binge of Steven Universe.)
Either way, for your Newbie Gift, have a full set of roleplaying dice! Usually, I give them some boring theme like "space" or "chocolates", but yours are all carved from gemstones! Enjoy your murder dice. -

Hello, and welcome to the PPC! Since I don't have an appropriately quirky newbie gift, I'll just throw a cheesecake to you in desperation. What are your fandoms?

Steven Universe, Adventure Time, Scorpion, and maybe MLP:FIM (funny story: I've read multiple fanfics of this, but I've never watched the show. I definitely like the first 3.).

Please leave your sanity at the door, it's crazy in here (that's a good thing, I think). Anyway, hi! Hope you have fun here!
For your newbie gift, have a talking book! It's very precocious. -
