Hi, I'm Dawn, AKA Gamer Girl.
Who am I? And what's up with the name Gamer Girl?
My Nerd Cred
I've been playing role playing games for at least two decades, Euro-style board games and miniature games for over a decade, and video games for over a decade. I worked at and ran a game and comic store for over six years. In addition, I wrote for Geek & Sundry for a year and a half.
Why use the name Gamer Girl when I don't just play games?
I was given this title when I worked at the game and comic store by one of my customer's daughters. It's a title I've held dear to my heart because she said she wanted to be like me when she grew up and I love the idea I had a hand in shaping the next generation of female nerds.
Some of my Favorite Things
Comic book: Sandman by Neil Gaiman. I own it almost four times over in various formats.
RPG: Legend of the Five Rings, followed closely by 7th Sea.
Miniature Game: Warmachine, but it's been years since I played
Card Game: Legend of the Five Rings
Board Game: Wander: the Cult of Barnacle Bay by Panda Cult Games
Video Game: Borderlands 2 (haven't bought 3 yet), but I've been playing the hell out of No Man's Sky
