I live in germany, approx. 30km away from the city of "Münster".
The closest "well-known" city in the area is probably "Dortmund" which is ~100km south.
Never met any SGers ;(

I live somewhere between Kiel (not so big city) and Hamburg (a bigger city :D).
Funny how every other person first starts this thing about: "what ever you call big city...." :]
I never met anybody from sg (yet) but I've met gamers before. Like from wow or even just from story writing forum, which is not really gaming but more the internet thingy :D
An ideal date? That's a though one, since it is aaaaaalways different with whomever you are meeting. But since I'm not so much into running around places (unless there is something interesting to see), it might be nicest to go somewhere relaxing and eat and drink something. The problem with that is the talking part, but since we are all gamers, there should be some common ground, right? And depending on the chemistry and mood, one could do anything really from there on.
So, can we now like make a journey around the world purely staying at sg gamers places? :D

Like couchsurfing.com :)
We went to Kiel one or twice when I was a kid with the ferry from Sweden. We went camping a lot in Denmark and Germany with a caravan.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well going by ferry is pretty easy from sweden, I guess :D
I've never been though. I already dislike the cold here, can't really imagine it being any better further north :]
Yeah, Caravan holidays in Denmark and Germany. Sounds pretty familiar :D
Is there such a thing? O.O
But then there should be something to enter for, because we try to win games, why not try to win a stay at somebody's place? :D

Oh, I was in Hamburg last summer (we made a strange crazy tour off most of the germany)
Ahahah I've just a bedroom (about 4m²), but there is an Hilton and an hostel nearby cof cof

How did you like it? I think Hamburg has some quite nice places - although I don't go often. To many ppl, to loud, to much stress -.-
Ha, but it would be in Florence ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
I was with a friend of mine, she live nearby and we did a trip to the city center.
Is a nice city: a lot of fancy shops (most not in Italy: P -uhm, maybe there's a Lego store somewhere in Italy), exotic restaurants and some interesting museums.
It's pretty sad that it's all new and it looks like an industrial / office discrict, for italian standard (I guess?)
Florence is a boring city XD It's ok for art and museum, but not for nightlife cof cof
The people of Florence are... just a bit opportunist so (eventually) pay attention~
Comment has been collapsed.
Mhm... all new? Well Germany had a bit of bombing happening - especially to bigger places. But as far as I can think, even Hamburg has some old places. But all in all it is way newer looking as Florence. So I see what you mean :]
Ah, don't know about the nightlife. I've been there as student and we had lots of running around and looking at art going on. And churches and museums and David and stuff :D
Oh right, and painting and a bit of shopping, since we were teens who wanted to have something of this trip :D

But florence is in Italy and Alergi in Algeria. :)

Yep, but the Mediterranean is a puddle~
We're all near, or at least nearest than a lot of city in USA.
Comment has been collapsed.
But wouldn't Rome be closer than Florence if you feel like you're between Florence and Algeri? =)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah but... I think he meant: lucky u for be near florence I've Algeri sad face
And at least Algeri is not sooooooooooo far than Florence, probably there is a direct airplane or some ship from Livorno.
- no one want to be near Rome cof cof ... ok, this was evil but I really hate Rome >.<
If u have to choose, choose Florence heropose [PR time]

But I'm not near Florence ^^
I liked Rome when I visited. :)

Too much caos, and more or less we lovely hate each other.
Any city hate the neighbors, probably because we got unity just a centary and a half ago.
Still there are a lot of nice and historical citys in italy that turist usually snub :P
If I can choose I wanna return in Oslo is such a cozy place >.<
Ooook, I stop with the OT.

of course, geographically. but thanks to the eu foolish, suicidal and auto lesionist policy about immigration and asylum, taking a walk into a random railway station really gets you confused 🤐

Well, you know where I live ;) Södertälje is also relatively close, which is a major city by Swedish standards, but probably not by international standards. And yeah, I'm a board game geek.
Never met anyone from SG living nearby, but I travel to Croatia last year to meet someone from SG.

NYC, I'm practically only 5 minutes from it in NJ (PP is the name of a town I live in). The town on my profile is actually my hometown where I grew up but I don't live there anymore. Never met SG'ers from PP, FL or RF.

Banja Luka/Zagreb. I live in first and I'm 150km away from 2nd. Aaaannnd I don't know anybody from either of these two cities that is a member of steamgifts. :)

Just a couple hours from Washington DC or Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Dunno what you'd consider Major but only 45 Minutes from Winchester, Va. Think that's the largest I'd consider "local"
Comment has been collapsed.
I quite literally live in the major city closest to me - NYC. As a local though, we wouldn't call the borough that I live in the "city" since it's not specifically Manhattan. Not sure if that made sense

Valencia (Spain) 70 km. About 45 min. by car

I am from Podgorica, Montenegro. This city have around 200 000 people and that's around 1/3 of all people in my country. I think that closest major city from here would be Berlin(Germany), Rome(Italy),Paris(France) or Instanbul(Turkey). I am too lazy to check on google maps but I think that Rome or Istanbul(or Ankara) are closest to Podgorica. Know two other SG user, but I told them for this site.

I didn't know Montenegro had more than one city. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
If you compare it to Sweden, then most of our cities would be villages or settlements if they were in Sweden, and if you look at number of people living in that cities you will notice that people usually live in central or south regions of Montenegro. By the way there is 21 city in Montenegro.

Aha. I thought it was a one city state sort of deal.

Right in the middle of Stockholm for me, I've never met any other SG:ers as far as I know, but who knows, might've run into someone while out for a concert or something without knowing it, might be fun to meet any SG:er at a bar or something though

The exact requirement is "Whatever you feel like is a major city." Like I've stated over and over in the thread since it's been asked over 20 times. :P

I live in the St. Louis, Missouri, USA metro area and only about 4 km from the city proper.

Just wondering, what major cities do you live closest to, and how far is it? Do you know if other SG:ers live nearby and have you ever met any of them? If not, would you like to if given the opportunity, and what would be your "dream date" if so?
For me, Stockholm is the closest major city. I live about 1 hour north of it. Only know of Fnord that lives there, and never met him. I think he's a fellow board game geek. So if I ever met him, it would probably be to do a gaming session. :)
