In a changing world with distancing and separation; games and book are still important.
Galaxy frontiers indulges those leaning towards in-person social games, providing encouragement to expand entertainment of people willing to gather for truly social association with each other.
In an era when many consider interacting through texting, emails and social media as being social, it is become more and more important for people to associate in person for a greater enrichment of friendship, relations, even love and affection.
GF goes beyond the limiting elements of social media and online gaming. If you're unaccustomed, or unwilling, to come together with other people for in person social bonding, then in-person games will not appeal to you. If that’s the case, continue to lose yourself with the false sense of socializing many have found online.
Throughout history, games have been part of human cultures. We grow playing them ~ and if we're lucky, continue playing throughout our long lives.
In the later decades of the Twenty-First Century, after major disruption of societies and population loss, remnants of populations began evolving and growing, even venturing beyond the world of their origins.
Throughout time, games have been a means to learn and socialize. Alpha Cyber Generation – those born in the 1980s and 1990s, having been raised with online environments – have shown considerable loss of social skills. Though they are led to believe online media environments is social, greater analysis shows otherwise.
Of late, people are under the assumption that games are strictly for entertainment. Though entertainment is a large factor, games are a learning experience set in social environments.
Unfortunately, the social interaction of games has lost ground and is nearly nonexistent. For variety of reasons – lack of time being the greatest – people rarely gather for games. Much can be said about that, and will be throughout this site; though for now will upset a number of younger persons by saying that online gaming is not a social experience.
At best, online gaming is a collective of solitaire games interacting with each other, having little more responses than computerized video games.
Though graphics have been considerably improved, there is little difference with the interaction between player and machine nowadays than in past video games.

The conversation related to first-person shooter cyber-games:
James catches Bob’s attention, “So, you just go around the city killing each other?”
“It’s fun.”
“I see you’re enjoying the carnage, though is that all there is? All you do is go around killing each other?”
“It’s just a game.”
“I see that. However, you saved your money to buy into a game to kill each other? You spend a lot of time engrossed in this game.”
“Sure. It’s fun.”
“All right; it’s fun. Many games are. However, there is more to life. What else do you do with your life?”
~ ~ ~ ~
That’s the question: What do you do with your real life when you’re not spending hours a week killing each other in first-person shooter games?
Answers could be interesting. Please send clean replies to Galaxy Frontiers Contact GF. Interesting responses will be added here.
As for what BCW-JZ does with his time; he writes a variety of philosophical contemplations on society, as well as design in-person games for social interaction – true interaction with people gathering together. He also writes a variety of stories with the intent of publication; take care of his wife who suffers from several mental issues; works at restoring an older home him and his wife owned for a number of years through hard times, and other endeavors.
Though each module is rated separately, Universal Tales is considered for mature players and has a certain amount of Controversy, Violence and Implied Intimacy. Though Universal Tales [UT] may appeal to younger persons; parents and guardians should always be aware of what their charges are doing and what games they are playing.
The world of Laserfica has a lot to offer. Much more is to come.
The rich fantasy world of Laserfica has many cultures and lands. Some are related to the writings of Jeremiah Zimmerman (see JZFiction.com). See Laserfica page for map PDFs.
In the growing, extensive UT platform, number of PDFs are available now – with more to come.
On the Character Enchiridion page for Universal Tales, is the Character Creation chapter, as well as the chapter for Personalities. As time continues, more volumes will be added that will help with the Character Creation, including overviews for species and breeds.
Even without other overviews, the information will be helpful for elaboration on campaign environments. Since Universal Tales allows for blending of many systems, the Personalities and Character Creation chapters could help bring the in-person role-playing experience to a higher level.
As part of Universal Tales’ Stellar Empires (elements within UT-Campaign Environments), the Zodae and Kaezodae dominions have considerable history with Terra Earth. At this site, a variety of ships are available for personal use in PDF forms.
Every great space faring campaign needs maps to plot character's ways.
Let your imagination take you far beyond omnivices and computers.
