Earl Grey 90: The Fandom Experience

The Fandom Experience.

When it comes to experiencing the different levels of fandom
of The Next Generation, it's safe to say that "the sky's the
limit." Darren, Phillip, and Daniel explore the various ways of
expressing TNG and general Star Trek fandom. They talk
cosplaying (even including wearing a blue shirt!), attending
Trek/general scifi & comic conventions, and what it's like to
be members of a fan association like Starfleet International
(www.sfi.org). Darren and Phillip share their personal SFI
experiences, including the various types of chapters and methods
of membership.

Earl Grey also discusses their own Trek game experiences,
including the trio playing Star Trek Scene-It, the Last
Unicorn version of a TNG tabletop role-playing game,
#BridgeMates, and Star Trek: The Next Generation Interactive
VCR Board Game: A Klingon Challenge. They also speculate on what
the official Earl Grey fan club would look like, what
it would be called, and imagine their Mirror Universe Star
Wars podcast.  So grab that Starfleet uniform from the
closet, purchase your con ticket, and update your Next
Gen RPG character sheet as Earl Grey tackles the
fandom experience.
