Science Fiction?


Hi,

I was just wondering if anyone knows where to get old science fiction art from paperback books that were released in the 60’s. Were any old sci-fi covers made into poster format. Im thinking of books by Heinlein, Bester, Van Vogt.

Thanks

What’s a good science fiction novel to read?


I’m trying to find a good sci-fi book to read. I enjoy reading about time travel theory, but not super cliche time travel stuff, if you know what I’m talking about. I’m also really into Doctor Who, so if anyone has read any of those books, which one would you recommend? Something preferably on the shorter side too, so maybe no more than 500 or 550 pages. Thanks.

What are some science fiction/fantasy games for children under 6?


A group of friends get together on a monthly basis to watch sci-fi/fantasy movies and potluck. We hang out, but we all have young kids and we’re looking for new ideas to keep them involved and since even the food is themed, we are looking for themed games for the kids.
