Typhon Station is a very fastpaced PBeM RPG with skilled, experienced players and a warm sense of bonding and community. We play at the turn-of-the-century, 2400, and are located in the Typhon Expanses, bordering the Neutral Zone, proximate to the Romulan Empire, and near the Iconian Digs, and are on the first warning route of the original Borg Incursion. We have three stations to post from, SB 185, USS Odyssey, and USS Wraith. They all have general and particular storylines and all interact. This game is not for the faint of heart! The writing is superb and comes hot and heavy. We have some open spots and also we will consider character suggestions. So, longtime RPGers and novices, check us out. See if you want to make Typhon Station your home away from home. (0 comments | Add) Babylon 5 lives at B5TV.COM!

In a new TrekWeb Interview, writer/producer Shawn Piller talks about the first successful season of his production company's series, THE DEAD ZONE, as well as his days writing for STAR TREK.

"I would like to keep doing a broad range of stories that emulate the first season but definitely raise the bar," he told us. "I like the scope we accomplished this season. You'll see that we sort of get into the Dana character and we expand all the characters so everyone's pretty well defined. Next season I know that we want to do more with Bruce and Sarah and Purdy. At the same time, we want to keep Michael Hall's evolution going, and learning about his destiny -- which is the title of the season's final episode, 'Destiny.'"

Shawn says his involvement with the TNG episode "Journey's End" wasn't as direct as you might think.

"A girlfriend of mine at the time had just graduated film school at USC, and I was just starting at USC. She was about to go back to waiting tables when my dad offered her an internship -- a paid Writer's Guild internship that after the six weeks, you get a pitch... Anyway, at the end of her six weeks, she had her pitch, and she said, 'I don't know how to write STAR TREK. I have no ideas.' Well, I had a million! So we went in and pitched an Indian episode, which turned into "Journey's End," the one with the Traveler."
