TerlObar January 29, 2015 - 8:29pm | I'm in Utah (Spanish Fork to be exact). If I was still in grad school I'd be near by as I went to NMSU in Las Cruces. I was just talking with someone on the SF-Underground Yahoo group that is in San Antonio (I know, not really nearby but at least the same state). The person that is probably the closest that I know of is AZ_Gamer who is in Arizona somewhere (imagine that, given his handle ) and he might actually be closer given the distance to San Antonio.

iggy January 29, 2015 - 10:02pm | Sorry, Utah as well (West Jordan). -iggy |
AZ_GAMER January 29, 2015 - 10:56pm | True, but unfortunately i'm not going to doing any travel towards Texas in the immediate future. But I still think a West Coast get together maybe possible some day as we have two folks in Utah, me in AZ, you in Texas, and Shadow Shack in Vegas. |
TerlObar January 30, 2015 - 6:39am | We actually have a 3rd person in Utah. He's not here on these forums (that I know of) but I interact with him on Google+ and he was amazed to discover that the Frontier Explorer was based just down the road from him. And I know there are others in nothern California, Oregon, and Washington as well. Ad Astra Per Ardua!

Gullwind January 30, 2015 - 10:01pm | Not too far. I'm in Grand Junction, CO. "Rome didn't build an empire by having meetings. They did it by killing those who stood in their way." |
Mother January 30, 2015 - 11:35pm | @TerlObar - I am in San Antonio...can you elaborate on the Yahoo SF group? |
jedion357 January 31, 2015 - 4:16am | @TerlObar - I am in San Antonio...can you elaborate on the Yahoo SF group? The yahoo group, as far as I can tell, was founded by the members of the old star frontiers list serv which operated as far back as '99 (or 97) through the early 2000s. There are a lot of members on it now but the posting is not to aggressive. https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/SF-Un/info Google's Star Frontiers group seems to have more posting. it seems to have a different dynamic than the yahoo group but its hard to explain how that is. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
TerlObar January 31, 2015 - 9:17am | Sure, his name is Stan and I think he may have just moved there as one of his comments said that he was still unpacking. He has physical copies of all the old SciCon books and I'm working with him to get copies that we can republish through the Frontier Explorer. I'll PM you with his e-mail or you can go join the Star Frontiers Underground Yahoo group and post directly there. Ad Astra Per Ardua!

Karxan February 4, 2015 - 10:30pm | I'm in Westport, Washington. Right on the Pacific. I would love to meet up with people when the time and money allow it. |
TerlObar February 5, 2015 - 5:48am | And I was just in Seattle in January. Missed opportunity, although I was pretty swamped with my meeting and didn't have a car. Ad Astra Per Ardua!

admiralwells February 6, 2015 - 12:45pm | I live in Iowa. of course, a mere 7 hrs on i-35 south gets me to texas! (or is that 12 hrs?) |

Karxan February 6, 2015 - 11:38pm | @ Terl, I saw a post or email about you being in Seattle, but I have been short on funds and could not afford the gas to connect even if you had the time. It's a 3 hour drive to Seattle from here, but maybe another opportunity will come up one day. |
Rotten February 7, 2015 - 8:38am | Milwaukee if anyone is near me. :) |
rattraveller February 10, 2015 - 5:11am | To our Northern neighbors, especially around Boston, we here in Bama are prepping an Assault Scout with emergency supplies. Of course we have had to take a break since the temp dropped below 40 degrees but since the high will be 60 degrees we will be back on it soon. Hold on. Sounds like a great job but where did you say we had to go? |

Of course we have had to take a break since the temp dropped below 40 degrees but since the high will be 60 degrees we will be back on it soon. Hold on. No worries, I'm from Maine, lived in Alaska and Plattsburg, NY so the snow blitz that is on aint nothin but a thing to me. Although I am not tempted to make a snow shelter and sleep out in it like in my younger days. In fact if I was to win the lottery I'd at the very least go for a prolonged visit south of the Mason Dixon if not buy a home down that away so I can simply dispense with shovelling snow for the rest of my life. But in the mean time I simply laugh at certain ethnic groups that move here, live here multiple years and still dont have a clue about how to dress in winter (even to the point of wearing sandles in the snow) and constantly whine about the cold and the snow. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
Inigo Montoya February 12, 2015 - 8:31am | I am in Crawfordsville, Indiana (about an hour NW of Indianapolis). I haven't had personal internet connection for about 4 years now. It has been very hit and miss for me. More miss than hit. However, is there any thought about another virtual convention circulating out there? I would love to take a day or two off work and stay up all night. Just to throw it out there, I have not played many of the official modules. In fact, I believe that I own all of them but have resisted reading them in hopes that I could play them first. (That was my attempt at a subtle hint.) |
TerlObar February 12, 2015 - 3:43pm | There is another con in the works. Looking for mid July. I just need to finalize a date and get the website set up. Hopefully I'll get to that before the end of the month to provide plenty of sign-up time. I've had positive feed back on the idea from several sources including the G+ community. Ad Astra Per Ardua!

dmoffett February 15, 2015 - 2:48pm | A Convention? Awesome, I wonder If I can afford the travel.. I hope we can budget such as long as its not too far. The bombing starts in five minutes. |

iggy February 28, 2015 - 8:59pm | Is it too late to introduce a bill while the legislature is still in session? I think they still have a few weeks before the session ends for the year. -iggy |

jedion357 May 18, 2016 - 2:27pm | I like that: we're the unofficial/official Star Frontiers Research and Development site. I want a patch, border text around the top: Star Frontiers, Border text around bottom: Research & Development Central image: Idea 1: assault scout Idea 2: area is quatered with four faces one each of core four.
