Dallas Area

[jhulse]

Well it looks more and more like I will be leaving Tampa Florida and heading for the big "D"! I think I saw a post some months ago about Dallas players. Are any around? I will be interviewing with several firms in two weeks, and may be moving as soon as September. The Traveller pool has all but dried up in this area so I'm looking for high adventure in the near future.

There are Travellers in the Dallas area, but who you find depends on where you set down. Dallas is a huge pile of humanity.

At this point I'm not sure, but I think it will be in the North Dallas area. My friends live there, and they tell me they live close to the boundary of Plano (sp?), but those they are about 30 minutes or so from down town. One of the firms I’m interview with is in Downtown. I considered moving to Dallas in 1997 and it was the Northern areas (around TCU I think) that I looked for apartments. So right now all bets are leaning somewhere between 15 and 30 minutes north of downtown Dallas. That’s about as close as I can narrow it down.

Ok, I visited Dallas for a few days and had some good interviews. I have also selected an area to live in the event I move to Dallas in September/October. It is a development called "The villages" and is a 10 minute drive from downtown near the intersection of Northwest highway (loop 12 I think...) and I-75.
I should know which offer to take by the end of the week. Any traveller players in this area?

I think that's a decent place to live in -- I used to live sort of near there back in the mid 90s.

Don't know if there are Travellers around that area.

So tell us all your life story, and how Traveller fit into it. And fill us in on the kinds of Traveller you've played/refereed and prefer.

Is that good or bad?!

Depends if you are at the bottom or not....

I'm out in Arlington, about 20 miles west of Big D, down by where 20 and 820 come together. I'm not opposed to a drive to play (as I used to work at 75 and Lovers Ln.). My Trav group has split up and moved off. I've got bunches of stuff, and nobody to share it with...
I too shall be moving still (divorce), but I'll still be in Arlington. Drop a line here once you get settled, and we'll see what we can stir up.

Back from vacation...
Still awaiting two calls before I make a final decision on where I will be moving.
Right now it's looking like Dallas Texas or Fayetteville Arkansas.

 

[jhulse]

It is official.
I will be moving to Dallas in mid September. So for any Traveller fans in the area, there is one more on the way.
I already have gamer friends who live their, now I'll just need help in recruiting them into the Traveller universe!

We have a decent number of COTI members who live in Dallas, including:

Uncle Bob
RickA
Silent Cartographer

I visit DFW frequently, and am considering the possibility of moving there myself over the next few years. If I do move up there, I hope to have a Traveller game once a month and play with some of the great people I've met online through COTI.

Also, Daryen is in the Dallas area.

Hope this helps,
Flynn

Oh yes, Daryen is in the North-North-North-West Dallas area. I had lunch with him a few months ago.
