Unlike D&D, the core books gives you the tools for that) and Fantasy, ruleswise, can easily be skipped. It's invaluable as inspiration and exploring fantasy in general though.A 4th edition version of the GURPS Fantasy Bestiary is the only thing I would like to see. The thing about GURPS is that the books may be expensive and few, but they are virtually always of very high quality. No wasted investments there. Magic gives an incredibly thorough treatment of magic that allows you to shape the kind of magic you want to your own preferences, the basic set gives you all the rules you want to run any kind of campaign you want, unless you are not familiar with the genre you are delving into, in which case a setting book is probably needed.</blockquote>
