JUNCTION POINT: NOT JUST ANOTHER PBeM RPG!
Junction Point is a freefloating space station that is located in that
dark area between Gorn, Tholian, and Klingon space, within a whiff of
the Romulan Empire. K7, as we call it, is adjacent to Sherman's
Planet, where, just 76 years before, the tribble incident took place.
We're set in the year 2380, after the Borg encounters and the Dominion
War, at the very end of the ST-TV timelines. This is a very fastpaced
game composed of a solid base of experienced and expert players, some
of them professionally published in the SF-Fantasy genre. Our location
is junction.the-fgn.org and we're always ready to welcome a few
new players into our warm and friendly community. If our roster appears full at the positions that interest you, don't
let that discourage you from joining. There's enough posting for
duplications in Senior Officer positions and the imagination's the
limit on civilian and other personnel.
We're expecting to be around for a long time, so if you come, plan to stay! We can be reached by clicking Contact Administration or Joining the Game on our site.

Robert Picardo joined fans online at the official STAR TREK web site last week for an online chat, where he talked about his post-VOYAGER experiences as well as questions stretching across the series's entire run. Here are a few brief excerpts:
Question: Did you choose your character's name in the series finale?
Answer: "No, I did not. But I was pleased with it. My father's name was Joe, as well as my brother's and most of my uncles' — it is the most common male name in my family. In fact, when I was born and my mother told my dad what she wanted to name me, he said, "Who the hell is Robert?" I suppose I could have been the other Joe. (laughs)"
Congratulations on starring in a musical beginning this month. You have a great voice, both singing and speaking. Would you entertain the notion of recording more Voyager audio books in the future?
"Yes, certainly. Um, since you mentioned "A Class Act," which I'm starring in at the Pasadena Playhouse, let me say that I am having the time of my life. It's the story of the man who wrote those wonderful lyrics for "A Chorus Line." He was a brilliant, phobic, funny and utterly impossible personality. That's who I play. The music is great, and I sing fifteen songs — twice as much as I sang in seven years of Voyager — in each performance. I truly believe any fan of the Doctor and/or Robert Picardo would get a huge charge out of seeing the play."
Your character has already been in "First Contact," is there a chance we might see an emergency medical hologram in another Trek movie?
"I think there's a good chance, but it won't be the very next one. And hopefully, it's an EMH Mark-1. That way, it can be me. (laughs)"
What was it like having a action figure of yourself?
"A great opportunity to play with myself in public."
Your character developed a great deal over Voyager's lifespan — did you have any input in that?
"I think that Brannon Braga's impression of me hiding in the bushes outside the writings office hoping to jump whichever one exited indicates that I did have a certain amount of influence on the writing staff. I made many, many suggestions, usually about ideas for the Doctor's other interests (opera) and unique relationships (the Doctor/Seven social appropriateness lessons) more than actual story suggestions. I did also receive the first writing credit of any cast member of the various series for my "I never sang for my father" Doctor and his programmer story ["Life Line"]."
I recently saw you appear in a Frasier episode. I think you were only in one scene, but it was very funny, I was laughing pretty hard. What was it like to work with Kelsey Grammer? Will you be appearing in future episodes?"
"I was delighted when they offered me that part, even though it was only one scene. I would love to be on the show again. Kelsey is, without question, the premier television comic actor working today, and it is a sheer delight and honor to work with him and with his brilliant co-stars on that show."
