Dear Santa,
You rock.
, MelissaHere's the thing: If you geekbuddy me, please send me a message and tell me why. Not just for my ego, but also so I can make sure that I keep my own geekbuddies list up to date.
Following on from
this thread: a Poll.

I'm in Melbourne, Australia. As a child, I played the usual board and card games, when I hit my teens I became a roleplayer and later took up Bridge. I went back to boardgaming while at Uni and discovered German-style games, through Settlers, in the mid nineties. I am proud to be one of the founding members (and currently Mayor) of C187 LupusLanding, the BGG Werewolf Community town on
http://www.brettspielwelt.de -- which was founded on the 4th of June 2006.
I'm married to Fraser, who posts here as Karlsen. These days, we mostly play Euros, as well as children's and family games with our daughters "Biggie" (9 in August '07) and "Otto" (5 - as of March '08).
I will occasionally translate (or clean up) German game rules (into English) for kicks.
My
new GeekBadge,
Essen in '08, is because I am just *soooooooooooooo* excited to be going. We'll all be there in '09, as well. But for now I have BOOKED MY TICKET (whee) so the Essenometer currently rates my Essen in 2008 chances at:
out of 10
My hot 10? Games I am *excited* about - for whatever reason.
If you want to know more, my claim to BGG fame is that I was the very first Geek of the Week in September 2005:
