Fey as powers that be

[taliesin15]

I wasn't even aware of a GURPS Faerie book; thanks, Tonguez

The very best sourcebook on Fey is Bryon Wischstadt's Faeries from Bastion Press:

this certainly looks interesting...I'm wondering how similar it is to Unearthed Arcana--a tome highly touted, but singularly unimpressive when I finally got a hold of a copy (which thankfully I didn't buy)--it isn't just obvious class/race variation after another is it?

[. . .] there is a web supplement that has some errata and extra material, including maps and charts and a FAQ [. . .]

Thanks for posting that. I already have the book, and have got some excellent usage out of it, but didn't have the errata. That's now been remedied, courtesy of your good self.

This is the best Faerie sourcebook bar none.

Eh, that's a tough call though. As mentioned by the worthy Jurgen Hubert, resident GURPS sage, the Faerie sourcebook for said RPG has in like kind found itself a goodly portion of toast 'pon which to rock.


Didn't someone take over Bastion Press's publishing recently. . . who was that again?

Another good book for this would be GURPS Celtic Myth - its world is already pretty close to what you describe.

As the title implies, it describes ancient celtic cultures and their legends of the supernatural - and that includes the Sidhe before they went Disney on us and became cuddly little pixies.

It also has some nifty thoughts on druidic and bardic magic (which were not quite the same as the D&D versions), though they might require a little work to port over.

Faerie/ sidhe

Laurell Hamiltons Meredith Gentry novels are an interesting example of 20th century fey.

I think a Faerie Court D&D sourcebook might be good to see sometime
