Wandering through a local games store today, I was interested to find
the Choasium's "Ringworld" frp system. It is, of course, based on the
Larry Niven novel of the same name, and seems (from a five minute
glance-through) to be very true to the novel. The owner of the store
(himself an long time gamer) told me that he had a very good impression
of the game, but couldn't testify to it's "playablity", since he had
never actually run in it. Has anybody on the net got the game, or
played it?

I'm facinated by the *idea* of a Ringworld frp, but I'm interested in
comments on the implementation. The game is sufficently expensive
($35.00) that I don't want to just buy it and find out for myself; any
comments either pro or con would be appreciated.

Either post to the net, or mail to me; if there is interest and I get
a sufficent number of responses, I'll post a summary.

Thanks!
