    LOOKING FOR FANTASY? Fantasy – from ancient myths to popular films, sto- ries of heroes and magic have captured the human imagination.

You’ll find help in running your campaign in Roma Arcana or any other setting – advice on creating bal- anced parties, devising scenarios to challenge them, and using the game systems to achieve dramatic effects.

  • Hinduism's Treatment of Untouchables
    Introduction India is one of the world's great civilizations. An ancient land, vast and complex, with a full and diverse cultural heritage that has enriched the world. Extending back to the time of the world's earliest civilizations in an unbroken tradition, Indian history has seen the mingling of numerous peoples, the founding of great religions and the flourishing of science and philosophy under the patronage of grand empires. With a great reluctance to abandon traditions, India has grown a culture that is vast and rich, with an enormous body of history, legend, theology, and philosophy. With such breadth, India offers a multitude of adventuring options. Many settings are available such as the high fantasy Hindu epics or the refined British Empire in India. In these settings India allows many genres. Espionage is an example, chasing stolen nuclear material in modern India or foiling Russian imperialism in the 19th century. War is an option; one could play a soldier in the army of Alexander the Great or a proud Rajput knight willing to die before surrender. Or horror in a dangerous and alien land with ancient multi-armed gods and bloodthirsty Tantric sorcerers. Also, many styles are available, from high intrigue in the court of the Mogul Emperors to earnest quests for spiritual purity to the silliness of Mumbai "masala" movies. GURPS India presents India in all its glory. It covers the whole of Indian history, with particular emphasis on the Gupta Empire, the Moghul Empire, and the British Empire. It also details Indian mythology and the Hindu epics allowing for authentic Indian fantasy to be played.

    TOURNEY OF TREACHERY Welcome to Harkwood! Fame and fortune await you in Baron Fenmarc’s Prize Tourney, the largest tournament in southern Caithness! But it won’t be easy – there are over a hundred knights and adventurers, ready to compete with sword and lance, bow and crossbow. The bazaar at the Tournament carries its own enticements and opportunities. Merchants have journeyed to Harkwood, bringing exotic wares from all corners of the known world. Also here are alchemists and wizards, selling their talents and enchantments to those who can afford them. But this year, someone else is attending the festival – a base villain, plotting to ruin Fenmarc and seize control of Harkwood. Can this evil Mastermind be unmasked in time to stop his diabolical plan and save the baron and the barony? This PDF is a scanned copy of the last printed edition of GURPS Fantasy: Harkwood.

  • GURPS Banestorm, 1St Printing
    Welcome to the land of Yrth, a realm of incredibly varied races and monsters – including people snatched from our Earth and other worlds by the cataclysmic Banestorm! Now humans struggle with dwarves, BANESTORM elves, and each other. The Crusades aren’t ancient history here – they’re current events. And on this world, magic works! Journey from the windswept plains of the Nomad Lands – where fierce Nordic warriors seek a valiant death to earn a seat in Valhalla – to Megalos, the ancient empire where sorcery and political intrigue go hand in hand. Or trek south to the Muslim lands of al-Wazif and al-Haz to explore the forbidden city of Geb’al-Din. This is a complete world background – history, religion, culture, politics, races, and detailed, full-color maps – everything needed to start a campaign. Phil Masters (the Discworld and Hellboy RPGs) and Jonathan Woodward (Hellboy and GURPS Ogre) have compiled previous Yrth material and updated it with new peoples, places, and plots, as well as much more on magic and mystic powers. Make your own mark on Yrth. Plunder elven ruins while evading the desert natives. Play a peasant-born hero . an orcish pirate . a Muslim double agent commanded to infiltrate the Hospitallers. A world of magic is waiting for you .
