Jamie Lynne is a high-functioning geek who is a native to our fair city. He was fortunate to be raised in a family who believed games to be a worthy pastime.

His favorite book is Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson and has a small typewriter collection.

Warren Ellis, Alan Moore and Matt Wagner are some of his favorite comic book writers and while it’s really hard to pick just one he’d have to say that Miller’s Crossing is his favorite film.

In the past 30+ years he has played role playing, PC, console, CCGs, tabletop and board games. During that time he did his best to introduce friends, family and strangers to the world of gaming.

Jamie Lynne likes to say that he has trained his whole life for this job.

I was induced into the world of gaming when I caught my parent playing Star Wars Shadows of the Empire for N64 on Christmas eve when I was 6.
 
At the age of 9 I started playing Magic the Gathering.  By 13 I was playing at a competitive level in the JSS tournament series which took me to the JSS Championships in  Baltimore MD in 2005.  After playing for 3 years at that level the program was canceled, but not before I was able to acquire thousands of dollars in college scholarships.  Today I am using the scholarship money to pursuing a degree in software development.

In 2007 I got a job at Guardian Games and discovered Euro Board Games.  It has since become one of my favorite hobby's, consuming my closet and free time.  I still play magic, but spend more time judging events at Guardian Games and managing the Magic the Gathering department.

My interests outside of gaming include bowling, basketball (go Blazers), skiing, and wake-boarding.

Joel has been a geek since his neighborhood friends acquired the D&D Red Box and let him join their band of adventurers. The journey from there to here has been an interesting one, all of it passing by in a blur of transforming F-14 Tomcats, pious Paladins, little painted soldiers, and the walking of countless Planes.

Joel's adventures have now brought him to a new home at Guardian Games. You can find him all over the place in the store. Recounting battles he has lost over in the miniatures section, behind the counter helping new Magic players build their first deck, or in the RPG alcove recounting the once ill fated choice of playing a paladin in Ravenloft. Sometimes you may even find him in the back playing a game. And no matter where you find him, he will always do his best to help anyone with anything related to gaming.

Angel played her first game of D&D at the age of 6 in 1982. Her favorite Christmas present ever was the red 'Beginner's' box set of classic Dungeons & Dragons.

She beat Contra by cheating. UP, UP, DOWN, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, B, A, START.

She picked summer strawberries to buy the Legend of Zelda.

For some reason, finishing a game of Arkham Horror still eludes her, though she has tried 5+ times to do so.

On strike from Safeway in 1994 and fresh out of David Douglas highschool, Angel found Magic the Gathering, at a local comic shop. Magic started her on a quest to find all things gaming. Her adventure continues.

When not gaming, Angel loves bicycling Portland, LEGOS, movies, music, books, and throwing a good party.
