 August 20, 2010 - 6:52am | http://www.cononthecob.com/ Oct 14-17 Hudson, OH Any going? I'll be representing DwD Studios and (hopefully) our debut of FrontierSpace RPG. I've asked Bill if he would run a Basic D&D game and/or a Star Frontiers game (still waiting for an answer). |
 August 20, 2010 - 10:17pm | Con on the Cob! Here I thought it was a twist on Star Trek's Wrath of Khan, but it's actually a CON con! Hmm, Ohio. Children of the Corn and UFO's come to mind. I'd certainly like to go, so I'll say maybe at this point. Ricardo Monteban eating corn on the cob. Priceless.  My SF website izz: http://ragnarr.webs.com |
 August 21, 2010 - 5:24pm | I'll be there, with wife & kid in tow. Dunno what I'm playing yet, but an SF game appeals. |
August 21, 2010 - 7:47pm | Are either of you willing to run a SF game? I'll be there WED afternoon helping setup and probably get some game time in the eve. |
August 26, 2010 - 10:18pm | Heck, if I'm able to go, I'd be willing to either referee a SF adventure, play a PC on an epic adventure, or just be happy running a muck wearing a "Yazirians Rule" T-shirt! I think work would give me the time off. Not sure if my gf would be very pleased with me. Then again, she's always fond of telling me, "you can't tell me what to do... your not the boss of me." So perhaps I should return the favor, wot?  Would only be able to go for the weekend. Hmm... My SF website izz: http://ragnarr.webs.com |
August 28, 2010 - 4:32pm | I doubt I could run one-- I'm certainly in no shape to write one. I'm very rusty with the game, but if I were handed an adventure in a can, I could give it a whirl. I'm only going to be there Saturday, btw. I could play something then, and very likely drag my family into it. |
August 28, 2010 - 7:52pm | So we got to find a way to hook up. :-) Any suggestions? I'm a twit(er) :-P @simplymenotu |
August 28, 2010 - 10:09pm | Although I am self admittedly somewhat of a twit, I don't have that twiter thing-a-ma-bob. I only partially understand the tech involved, but is twiter something I'd add to my cell phone like an app? "Help me Obi Wan wOOtobi...you're my only hope."  My SF website izz: http://ragnarr.webs.com |
August 29, 2010 - 11:37am | If I'm you're only hope, wes alls goings to dies! :-) I use Peep on my Android and a browser when I'm in the office. I've seen other internet friends use it to hook up and it seems to work well. None of us really want to give out cell phone numbers. Right Tom and Tom? hahahahaha "Hi this is w00t, just wondering.." "Hi this is w00t. Yes it's 3am. No I don't sleep" "Hi this is..." dial tone? hahaha |
August 29, 2010 - 9:08pm | If I'm you're only hope, wes alls goings to dies! :-) Well the gf just 'splained twiter to me. When I asked her about it today, there were a few uncomfortable seconds of her ...staring... at me thinking I might be joking. Hence enlightened, I'll gits over to twiter & sign up. Would certainly be kool for a bunch of us to get together and game at the cob in October. My SF website izz: http://ragnarr.webs.com |
August 30, 2010 - 9:08am | So we got to find a way to hook up. :-) Any suggestions? I'm a twit(er) :-P Well, I think you & I are still Facebook friends. That won't talk to my cell phone, but it can't be hard to set a time & place-- it's not that big a con. EDIT: that said, I only check that once a day or so. |
September 1, 2010 - 10:23pm | OKay...I'm officially a twit...er! @RAGNARR1001 Not sure if the twitter thing is case sensitive or not, so forgive the shouting. My SF website izz: http://ragnarr.webs.com |
September 1, 2010 - 10:44pm | Ahhhh! Turn of the case on twitter. :-) |
September 17, 2010 - 2:01pm | So, is there to be an SF game at this Con? Should I block time to play it? |
September 17, 2010 - 3:02pm | Yes and Yes. I have not signed up for games, I tend to jump in when I want. Anyone else registering for games? What is the best time to play for everyone? Are we playing one 4 hour session or two? More than two? (I don't mind playing all day, hehe) Who will Referee? I will bring something to run. Bill runs games by the seat of his pants (if he runs one, which he will because I will insist he does but ya know he might want to play, so we get him to run the first half and someone else to run the last half) I will talk to the Con organizer and see if we can get a room. Worst case we hang out in my room (if there only 5 of us). I really wish I had more money to get some stuff for us. Sigh.... |
September 17, 2010 - 9:39pm | If I'm able to resolve some pressing personal business here in time, I'll be a'coming to the Cob. Will be a player character or possibly even ref an Alpha Dawn/Knight Hawks executio...um, adventure. @wOOt: we can pool Cr. for pizza et al. Not a problem. Dang I hope I gits to go to the Con. My SF website izz: http://ragnarr.webs.com |
September 18, 2010 - 8:00am | @Captain Dralasite Powers Unit, from up a presser for business! I was thinking on bringing a yaz costume but not sure if my wife can finish it in time. Oh well, I'll prob just come as I am. Metal. Smart. Electrified. Good looking.  I assume you are both near Cleavland? Someone else on this site is up there too... medic I think. What's his handle?? |
September 18, 2010 - 7:19pm | Cleaveland? Nay sir. Me ship be docked in d'mids of Jersey fer years now yarr! I be takin' one of those fancy flyin' machines to the cob in October if'n I can verily conclude me business hither yarr!  My SF website izz: http://ragnarr.webs.com |
September 18, 2010 - 8:34pm | I'm coming from Columbus, making a hit'n'run on the Con, as it were. I can only spend Saturday playing. One slot would probably work best for me. Wouldn't you want to get a table in the main gaming room? That would be a way to get passersby interested in the game. |
September 19, 2010 - 12:18pm | I must agree with the wise silhouette man known as Putraack lol. We should all try to promote Star Frontiers and Star Frontiersman magazine at cons and on the net. Heck, I'd even urge everyone that regularly posts here to make their own SF sites. That way, the "un-edu-ma-cated" (a jersey-ism) folks who are poking around on google might have a better chance to get more ...edu-ma-cated... about the game. ~Captain Avatar ...I mean um, Rags My SF website izz: http://ragnarr.webs.com |
September 19, 2010 - 3:44pm | I'm open to ideas, I liked the private game table - kinda like we used todo back in the day. I want to promote SF as well but won't have any products set out for display until I get a booth ready for DwD. After all we gotta remember our roots! :-) |
September 19, 2010 - 3:48pm | @Putraack, what time Saturday? 4 hours OK to block off? |
September 20, 2010 - 2:54pm | I know I am available for the morning or afternoon, I need to negotiate more for any evening availability. Four hours should be good, I like to play other stuff, too. And visit-- last year I ran into two people I haven't seen in decades! |
October 10, 2010 - 8:28pm | This week we meet! Roll call - Bill and I will be at the con Thursday afternoon, leaving Saturday night. We will run one 4-hour Star Frontiers game. Bring a character if you like. We will also run a 4-hour FrontierSpace game using the 27 archetypes from the book. Thanks to Shane for getting them done for the Con. Looking forward to meeting you all! |
October 10, 2010 - 10:40pm | Woe unto me being able to make the Con. Seems that a real estate deal I'm working on closing has not done so as of yet. I'm hoping to close it this week, but either way, that'll gut my plans for the weekend. Was looking forward to showing up and annoying yall too. Oh well, I suppose I'll just have to keep on annoying you here until the next con. Have fun & keep me posted. My SF website izz: http://ragnarr.webs.com |
October 13, 2010 - 8:59pm | ....and I'm here! Some pics along the way.  Bill text-ed me and wanted asked for me to send him pics of the con. I stopped at a rest area and started my con pic taking skill checks.  Pretty trees  I got lost and spotted some turkeys crossing the road. Why did the cross the road? I don't know.  John and Patrick from the Gnome Stew. (I got permission to use some of their GM material for our magazine) |
October 17, 2010 - 3:53pm | Too much goodness to post but jedion got a taste of it over the phone. Sorry to hang up on you but the party wouldn't stop for the phone call! hehe I got an idea for a game. Are you the mad yazirian? Your ship has crashed on an unknown world. You and the crew are able to get to safety before it explodes destroying all your gear. For the last month you have been surviving on the land and have built several makeshift shelters. Then one night, someone is missing. After a brief investigation it's clear one of you has killed a crew member in the night! You must determine who before they strike again! Based on Are you a werewolf? |
October 25, 2010 - 9:27pm | Bummed I missed the party, but the boost to my bank account here will help me to get over it. I'll make the next con fer sher. My SF website izz: http://ragnarr.webs.com |
