I'm Hugh Fisher, or Hugo Fisher if you speak French.

I started on the 'Net back in the early 1990s, when it was common to use an online handle instead of your real name. (Blame cyberpunk.) Laranzu is from the Darkover book series by Marion Zimmer Bradley and means a psionic sorceror (male). The laranzu and leroni in Darkover build imaginary towers in an overworld only they can enter and manipulate, which seemed pretty close to what I did as a computer system administrator and 3D graphics programmer.

Welcome to my web page. Here are displayed various things I've created: drawings, computer programs, and a bit of fiction. You're free to down load them, and I'd love to hear from you what you think of each.

The image at left is my pretentious cyberpunk wannabe tribute to William Gibson. It's based on the cover art for the 1993 Harper Collins edition, which of course nobody remembers anymore.

The Full Thrust pages are various ships, rules, and odds and ends for the excellent GZG game of that name.

I'm also interested in Attack Vector: Tactical from Ad Astra Games.

The ATXF page is historical now. You remember a TV series called the X Files? The Australian aus.tv.x-files newsgroup was quite an active online community, and I'm still friends with some of the people I met through it. Back in those days, I wrote X Files fan fiction and the occasional book or episode review.

How the head image was created

I am a Macintosh programmer and advocate.

The writings page has reviews and stuff that I couldn't fit anywhere else.
