Welcome to my central lens- my Nexus. This lens focuses on science fiction, fantasy, games, and the science fiction community. It is a jump-off point for my other pages, lenses, and blogs. It's a little about me and a little about what I like.
Science Fiction and Fantasy
My nerd powers.
Part of my science fiction and fantasy interests are table-top role playing games. Although I don't have any time left to play now-a-days, I still have my original box set of Star Frontiers and some old AD&D manuals floating around. I also used to play LARPs before they had a name for it. Good times...
For a few years I enjoyed play-by-email (PBeM) Star Trek games. I even ran a dedicated search engine for PBeM's, the Star Trek PBeM Starship Registry.
