Dream Park - it's a series of novels by Larry Niven and Steven Barnes ABOUT the future of role-playing, and then turned INTO a postmodern role-playing game by R. Talsorian Games. Siskoid not only ran this game for years, but also modified it considerably to suit his purposes. He re-invited one of his key players, Daniel "Pout" Ouellet, to discuss the experience of playing a player put through his paces by a GameMaster played by a GameMaster. It gets META! Plus, our GameMaster Advice column, and your feedback from the previous episode.
