Travellers

Alex Borders

A bit of self-introduction:

I live in California, in the San Francisco Bay Area. I was a software engineer by trade, although I've recently retired (early).

I've been roleplaying off and on since the late 70s, although I took a long break from around 2000 until the pandemic, and I started exploring the options of online socializing and entertainment (as so many of us did). Most of my RPG experience is with GURPS (2nd & 3rd editions) and HERO (almost exclusively 4th edition), although I own and have tinkered with dozens of systems. I currently run a GURPS Psionics campaign on Discord (pure theater of the mind, no VTT). I dabbled briefly with Traveller back in the early 90s, but have been playing quite a bit of it the last 4 years, including a brief stint running a Traveller game in 2021 (albeit a heavily modified version of the game, set in my own universe). This is my 3rd Pirates of Drinax campaign, interestingly enough.

This page will probably be updated regularly as I think of more things to say.
