Welcome, Lee! 
Don't worry about boys & girls ... I'm coming to find out that many, many girls love playing pirates

haha!
(Kidding, though it's a true fact)Wonderful thing about playmobil is that there is no restriction: boys 'n girls play together. And everyone have fun.
I hope you enjoy the forum.
It's among the best places in the internet I know!
& for playmobil, to English speakers (I know not a word in (actual) German ...), it's the best!

[Concerning stories in mind, it's great!

I've come back to the playmoworld because of the will of making photostories, and still wish to improve mine, with better equipement (the camera I use is very poor

.. well this day will come); anyway, I have a few things delayed in publishing, and some projects that I still have to make, and I'll go on working on them as I can ... I hope you are lucky -- and work well -- in your own stories! It's a fascinating and lovely thing to do with our playmo, and a wonderful way of sharing with our friends here
