From Plato to Groucho, this comprehensive edition features some of the most quotable people who ever lived. They are the famous, infamous, the little-known, and the unknown, inspired enough by life to comment on it, and smart enough to be clever about it.
Don't be fooled by the generic title, GURPS Fantasy is a world book. There is very little (only two small chapters) in the way of general rules about fantasy in the book. The rest is history, geography, and politics of the world of Yrth, written specifically for a Game Master. It works best if you let the players roam where they will, and use the book's info to be prepared for what they encouter. I really like the world itself, it's richly laid out and realistic; close enough to Middle Earth to be familiar to players, but different enough to keep them on their toes.
