Finally got around to reading the old Ringworld RPG

that @LibertyFarmNH got me for my birthday.
Really enjoying it. The thing I like most about RPG sourcebooks is that they lay out a fictional world in encyclopedia format.

7/ So, of course, there's a n x m x ... set of possible rule sets. So to describe a given rule set you'd need to, oh, I dunno, use a hex code, much like Traveller does for characters, planets ... :P

Entirely personal observation: GURPS is dead, killed by Munchkin. d20 is dead, killed by WOTC moving on & Pathfinder. Cepheus has life on DTRPG.
