Much pacier and written in a more obviously modern style than Ringworld (I know it's written 10 years later). The story still handles hard SF concepts really well with an original vision of the future.

64) My next game was bought due to a love of Larry Niven books. A little-known book, and a little-known game, "Dream Park". Set in the theme park imagined by Niven and Barnes, it shared some elements with Cyberpunk (and was by the same creative company).

Thank you, Louis Wu, for the best advice when dealing with a depressing topic:

“I will get over this one day, so I might as well start right now.”

Back in the 80s, licenses were a big thing. We're back there now, with so many games, but the 80s were something special.

's was a from that presented the world of the novel and wider Known Space in a hefty boxed set using a variant of the system.

Great art and solid components. Books (188 pages) covering Explorer (characters), Tech, Creatures, and Ringworld, plus a Companion with more options. It has considerable collector value.

Lovely game.

Well, I'm a bit with you on the "any sufficiently advanced tech is indistinguishable from magic" thing. When too much of that is in the forefront, it can diminish my enjoyment. That being said, I've been watching "Orphan Black" with my wife and it's pretty enjoyable.

As for , you are welcome! Pick up or the short story collection .
