Every fourth Sunday (usually) we discuss a science fiction selection, alternating between classic and modern sci-fi. We've seen so much interest in our book selections, we also open up smaller morning discussion sessions 1-2 weeks be …

The Star Trek Association of Towson (STAT) is a club where science fiction fans gather and socialize through monthly club meetings and an annual convention. Although founded in 1978 by Star Trek fans, STAT long ago broadened its interest to include all SF television shows, movies, books, and science. We put on the Shore Leave convention every July - it is one of the biggest fan-run SF conventions in the Eastern USA. The upcoming convention in July of 2010 marks our 32nd anniversary!

A group for anyone and everyone who loves Science Fiction, Fantasy and Comic Books!

So you've named your cat "Q". The bumper sticker on your car reads "My other car is the Millenium Falcon". You start affecting a British accent after watching Doctor Who. You own dice that have more than six sides. You sometimes mutter spells under your breath and marvel that they don't work (if they do work... I wanna meet you). You secretly hope to bitten by a radioactive spider or wish you could go on a quest for Shikon Jewel shards. And you might even have more toys now than you ever had as …

Every second Thursday of the month we meet downstairs in Politics and Prose's remainder room to discuss science fiction.

We are a group of writers who enjoy imaginative, perhaps even offbeat, fiction. Our goal is to write well--or at least better--but with the freedom to make mistakes. We are not here to necessarily produce polished, publishable fiction, but to rather to carve out a space where writers can experiment and have fun in a relaxed and supportive environment. Speculative fiction--which includes science fiction, supernatural horror, steampunk, dystopian fiction, magical realism, fantastic allegory, and …

From Andrew: While living on the west coast, I discovered the "Geek Club", a place for all things to please the inner geek in all of us! When I moved out here, I wanted to find something like that and I started this group. Our event types are really dependent on what the members ask for. Video games, museums, boardgames, movies & book discussions, it's all fair game! The group is open to all ages, genotypes, prototypes, and even meeples! From Michael:  Lived here all my life, and wanted to help …

If you are like me then you may have grown up on comics. We have also seen comics expand into movies, games, digital etc. Over the years, I have gone from DC to Marvel, currently a combination of both plus some new comers. DC has quite a few comics’ book stores, but they aren’t the places to sit back and discuss our experience. I suggest getting together at a local restaurant and having an open discussion on classic story lines and new/up to date material. Feel free to contact me if you have oth …

We are the oxymoron to the geek and nerd stereotype - the "social" nerds and the "chic" geeks. Sure, we love Battlestar Galactica, but that doesn't mean we can't hold our own at a high class social function. Yes, we can debate the finer points of whether Han shot first, but we can also jump into the fray and talk about the latest in pop culture. Although we can explain the relation between a "Hobbit" and a "Halfling" to someone, it doesn't mean that we locked ourselves away from society and stud …

Interested in meeting some cool nerds? That depends on who you define as a nerd, you may ask. You also may wonder who is welcome in the Geeks and Gaymers (spelling intentional) group. While my intention is to create a more LGBT-inclined group of friends, straight allies are very welcome as well. Nerds? Anyone who enjoys any or many of a plethora of interests, including but not limited to: Board Games, Science Fiction (Books, Films, TV, etc), Fantasy (Books/Graphic Novels, Films, TV), Speculative …
