That’s right, the 2018 Simming Fall Festival is scheduled for December 15th! Indeed, TNU Project has been selected as this year’s host, and Josh Hina will serve as chair. We’re going a little different route this year as TNU is not a club in in the traditional sense. Instead, they’re a member of Ascension Sims. However, Josh and co. already have an outstanding line up events ready for December 15th. Read More

It’s time to select a FallFest host! Well, it’s actually past time! We held SciWorld later than usual this year and wanted there to still be a good gap between the two. Anyway, we’re now accepting applications to host and chair the online roleplaying community’s premier event: The Simming Fall Festival (aka FallFest). This will be our 8th festival since beginning back in 2011. Read More

We would also like to give a special thanks to Alexander of Bravo Fleet and Wes Davis of Star Army for chairing this year’s convention. Great work so far! We can’t wait for SciWorld to begin!

If you’re a simmer or online role player of any persuasion, there will be something there for you! So what do you really get out of FallFest? Here are 4 reasons you should attend on Saturday:

It gives me great pleasure to announce that 2017 Squiddie winner Bravo Fleet will be hosting FallFest VII on December 9th, 2017! Bravo Fleet’s own Zachary O’Connell will serve as the chairman. Bravo Fleet is a fantastic club with a storied history. We have no doubt that they’ll put on an absolutely wonderful festival a month from today. Oh yeah, Zachary O’Connell’s pretty cool too!
If you’ve never heard of FallFest (officially the Ongoing Worlds Fall Festival), it’s a time when the entire simming and online roleplaying community comes together for a few short hours in online chat rooms for engaging discussions, interactive trivia games, and live chat role plays. In short, we share ideas, information, and energy! Zachary and Bravo Fleet are on point to plan, advertise, and execute the festival. Indeed, it takes a lot of work to make FallFest happen! Read More

“The Face of God”
Much like the origin of the universe, the beginnings of the simming and online role playing community remain shrouded in mystery. Sure, we know that it developed out of fan fiction on primordial online services of the late 1980s and early 1990s, but we lack specifics, and many of the details we do have are quite vague.
Records exist for many of the major players and significant historical events, but we miss a lot of the nuance. It is also highly likely that there are pockets of our cosmos that we don’t even know about it, and now may never know about.
In the approximately 25 years since our creation, clubs, much like stars, have come and gone. And role-plays, much like planets have come and gone too. The community is much different now than it was then. Indeed, just as the physical universe is more mature and less volatile than it was during its early days, our demographic is older and our universe more stable as well. But how will it all end? Here are three possibilities: The Big Freeze, The Big Crunch, and The Big Bounce.

That’s right, the 2015 Simming Fall Festival will be held today (5th Dec) from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM EST (1:30 PM to 10:30 PM GMT) in IRC chat rooms. Host UFOP: StarBase 118 and chair James Drysdale have put together an absolutely fantastic schedule that features some of the most talented from among us leading multiple discussions, games, and trivias.
No matter who you are in the community–from an Ensign to a Fleet Admiral, a rogue trader to a Jedi, or an Orc to an Elf, there will be something for you! FallFest is when the entire simming and online role playing community comes together to discuss our craft. We talk about how to be better writers. We talk about how to be better leaders. We about how to better get along. And most importantly, we have fun, and lots of it! Those who have attended past FallFests will all agree: It is the highlight of the year. And you can be a part of it!
Whether you’re an individual role player, a host, or a club leader, there’s something at FallFest for you:
