I'm not sure that there's full blown combat described in that era, but Niven delivers enough examples of the tech's capability to extrapolate it.

You still really busy?

Sorta. "Distracted" is probably more accurate.

They're classics, for sure.

You really did your homework here! Good job.

I did my homework, but missed the due date by 30 years
Glad ya like. I really needed to finally get this one outta my system.

Was this for a game or, or was this just something that you brewed up yourself? Β

Just for me - something I needed to get outta my system. Though I guess you COULD think of it as supplemental "Ringworld RPG" art

Ah, you're the guy who did a of the DGP art way back in the day for Traveller. Β I'm a fan
Very cool stuff.

Quick note here; you're the reason there's a lot of hoopla about trying to get access to that old material published by DGP. Β Ayup, good times back in the day

I'm the reason? You mean because of my art? I kinda hope not because DGP's quality came AT LEAST as much from Gary and Joe's inspired, tireless writing.

Well, it's the whole package I guess. Β The sleek design that you offered (I like both the Gauss rifle and the autoshotgun you did for equipment charts) combined with some nifty rules
I think a lot of former players are still very much in love with the DGP material because of the look you gave it.

Have you read the book? How does it compare to your mental vision?

I haven't read the book, but it looks stoic and functional.

Thanks, my friend! It was a really fun one to do.

Probably dating msyelf, but this looks like a schematic you would find in an old RPG game called Star Frontiers.... ahh memories.

Geez, I HOPE it's not Star Frontiers level?!?!

I'm not sure if Ringworld will be a true generation-spanning classic, but for our age group it was an SF-must-read! (at LEAST once!)

At least half a dozen!

Kzin! Yeah!

My pleasure! Part of me just couldn't help it!

Niven was actually VERY specific about that detail in the book. He spelled out the whole spec.

Never read the books, but damn do I remember playing Return to the Ringworld.
Mostly because it crashed all the time XD

LOL! Never played the computer game, but I recall when it came out.... to mixed reviews.

That was the origin of this vehicle type, though this is set centuries later.

Hmmm. I'm confused. Is that an MONSTROUS human? A DIMMINUATIVE human? There's no way to tell. How can I properly evaluate a work without sufficient information?
π: 0 β©: 4
That's an average human and an average Kzin, presented for scale with the lander. Way back in the stone age it was quite common to present figures for scale in technical drawings.

It was an inside joke. Dize will explain...
