Elves, men, and dwarves

If you are planning any sort of Fantasy based game for GURPS, this book is a must. Not only does it present the classic races of elves, dwarves, gnomes, orc, halflings, and various others, but also gives them character more so than any other game I have found. Each race is given at least 2 to 3 pages of text, and that doesnt include the game mechanics. Also, because of the GURPS system, it is easy to modify and change the existing races for your personal games. Also, their is a section on creating your own races for your game, which proves invaluable to any game master wanting to put in his own ideas. This is an award winning book, and a quick look through its pages will show you why.

Innovatively presented fantasy staples for GURPS.

This excellent source books provides a way to create fantasy races and provides some very good examples using well-chosen fantasy races. People who have read the Fantasy Trip, Tunnels and Trolls and D & D rpgs will recognise and welcome these architypal races presented in a fresh and interesting style.
