Pittsburgh

[pensatl1962]

Hello,
I've recently moved back to PA from Atlanta where I lived (and worked) for the past ~30 years. I'm in Johnstown now, but I'll be in Pittsburgh permanently starting in October; I'd like to know if there are any local players or even an ASL group in the Pittsburgh area. I've been playing for about 35 years and fairly active in the Atlanta group until the pandemic, and now playing mostly VASL with my Atlanta friends. I miss face-to-face, though, and I'd be up for a game. Thanks in advance.
-Jim

Most/ALL of the Pittsburgh ASLers have been dormant for a while life does get in the way... It's certainly did for me.

I'm recently reactivated again and am starting to shake the RUST off. FTF is the only way I go. Perhaps, I'll shake the tree and see who's still out there. I'm sure I have some old contacts somewhere. It'll be great to get a group going again perhaps.

The ASL Players Map shows 8 players in the greater Pittsburg area.
There are probably three times as many that are not on the map.
Don't forget that Oktoberfest will be held in Cleveland and is only 130 miles away.

Yeah, there's a good bit more than 8 that I know of. But mostly all are inactive. No Cleveland for me this year. Maybe one day I'll go. I still have a few years more to go with work. When I do get away I do it with the wife. One of her favorites (and mine) is Gettysburg. We've been to about every place there is there and then some except for the hidden lane which is hard to get to. We do go a lot. If I went to the Hallowed Ground ASL event to sit inside and wargame... My wife would have me shot, then sent to the Russian front, and then shot again....

Hi Blaze - I think I may have just gotten an email from you. If not, then there are THREE of us here in the Burgh who can play. Are you in Plum Borough by chance...?

Yes, I'm in Plum...There's a bit more than 3 here. They're just hibernating. Once I get some games in, I'll start poking the bears and see who bites (hopefully not mauls)... There's a really decent fellow I recently hooked up with a few miles from me. We just got a blow out the carburetor game in.

Blow out the carburetor? Lol I like it.

Yeah, my brain is like a rebuilt Holley 4 barrel, it works (not very efficiently) missing a few jets and also has some empty space.
