Here's a page I've put together, that would be of interest to anyone writing stories beyond The Limit:
Nearby Stars Within A Half Spectral Class of Sol
My list of "intereting" stars is somewhat different from Comrade Fnord's, in that I chose only stars that current thinking says might be easy to colonize. On the flip side, I put together a couple of GURPS Space Atlas style tables showing the distance between any two of the stars, and how long it'd take to travel between them at 500c (ships' speed) and 10,000c (FTL comm speed)...
(Edit: Is it my imagination, or am I the only one posting inspirational &c. sites nowadays?)
