Actually Top, I'm just outside of Cleveland. That's about 2 hours (give or take) NORTH of Columbus. Madnos would be the one you'd want to track down. He lives somewhere around Dayton. But sadly, he is on a long hiatus.
I am doing a small con on October 15th but it will be down around Marietta. I'm not certain just how far away that is to Dayton.
Also, I hope to someday resume activities at the Guard Tower. That's a hobby shop in Columbus that Madnos and I were tag teaming. DD, once in a while I would be willing to drive down there and get in a game. They're Excelsior friendly but just won't take the leap....yet.
