Please Note
I don't hang out on BGG anywhere near as much as I used to. I might stop by once every few weeks or so to look something up, add a game to my collection or maybe record a play. But I don't look through the forums or GeekLists at all any more. I also will only occasionally get to my GeekMail so don't expect me to respond quickly.


I live in SE Aurora and try to play regularly with the DenverGames group. Check out the link below to the website. From the site there is a link to our Yahoo group which is the main information source. We keep an up-to-date group calendar listing the monthly game events. Most of my GeekBuddies are from the DenverGames group but I also include any gamers I come across in the greater Denver Colorado area. If you're in the area and are looking for people to play games with check out my GeekBuddy list. For a listing of game groups in the greater Denver/Front Range area of Colorado you can find one here:

Here's a link to the DenverGames guild page here on BGG:

And here is a link to the DenverGames Yahoo page:

http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/DenverGames/

The group also has a BGG user page as well:

Here's a link to the list of weekly session reports:

I've played and enjoyed games of all types since I was a little kid. Most of this I'm sure came from my parents having a very well stocked game cabinet full of odd and unusual game. I enjoy most types of games from wargames, euros, RPGs and some CCGs. This mix is reflected in my collection which contains games of all types from simple childrens games to heavy wargames with at least a game or two occupying most steps in between.

Stats
I'm not a huge tracker of game stats. I occasionally record what I play in the Games Played section of BGG but I don't keep track of anything except what I've played. I don't care how many times I've won or who I've beaten or much else. But this page is kinda cool if you want to know more about your collection and it's easy to get added to the list:

Trading
I enjoy trading a great deal and have been trading games with fellow Geeks for quite a few years on this site. Most of my trading shifted from one on one to math trades but I've since come back to one on one trading since math trades have become a victim of their own popularity. If you see something you want on my trade list feel free to make me a reasonable offer and I will reply in some fashion. I don't like not getting replies to trade offers and try to make sure I reply to offers I receive. It might take me a while to get back with you since I don't hang out as much on BGG as I used to so don't get discouraged if you don't hear from me right away. And don't use the Last Login Date to try to determine when the last time I was hanging out here or looking through my GeekMail. Since my game shelves are almost full I have to trade something away to make room for new games.

Personal Top 10 Games
A top 10 list is an extremely difficult endeavor for me to put together. There are just too many games that I really enjoy to break it all down into just ten games. Also, to make matters worse, many of my games I enjoy in particular situations but not necessarily in others. So this list is FAR from perfect and each entry would have numerous addenda and caveats tagged on but what you see is my best effort so far. These are in no particular order so #1 isn't any better than #10 in my mind. I update this list as my thoughts on games change.

Hot 10 Games
For me, this list is a list of the top ten games that I currently am a) enjoying, b) studying or c) most excited about picking up. Sort of a catch all really but in general these are the ten games that are most occupying my mind right now. Again, no particular order and I do try to keep this list up to date as I get new games.
