Create a world that could never be! GURPS Fantasy is the complete toolkit to let you
build a campaign of heroic deeds and wondrous magic. It discusses the genre in depth—with all its subgenres and inspirations (myth, novels, movies, etc.)—letting you design
just the kind of fantasy setting that you want.
GURPS Fantasy gives detailed, concrete advice—from the basics of the landscape itself,
through its inhabitants and cultures, to the details of believable histories and politics. It
also examines the nature of supernatural forces, and discusses the impact of wizards,
monsters, and gods. And, of course, it looks at the many different ways that magic and
users of magic can work in a fantasy world.
And, perhaps most importantly, it advises GMs and players alike on the kinds of
characters appropriate to fantasy—including ordinary folks, people with fantastic
powers, and nonhumans.
Whether your model is Tolkien, Jordan, or Leiber, this book will let create a town, a
country, or an entire world. Like all Fourth Edition books, it's a full-color hardcover.
(This is not an update of the Yrth setting presented in the old GURPS Fantasy; that's in GURPS Banestorm.)
240 pages. Hardback.
