[QUOTE="Glyfair, post: 3679413, member: 53"] If you are going so far as to eliminate animals because they are "setting specific" than you might as well eliminate all the races. They are "setting specific" as well. As long as you approach an 160 page rulebook as a limited rules set, I think it could be done. Stick to the 4 core classes ([I]maybe[/I] use the sorcerer instead of the wizard). Eliminating specialist wizards allows you to cut down the spell lists to about 10 per level per class, even less at the higher levels. Cut down weapon lists (no need for the rarely used weapons), feats, and way down on the magic items. Cut out the section on how to play the game, DM a game, etc. The original Runequest 2 book only had about 10-15 pages of monsters, and that included all the non-human races. I think a very limited selection of monsters could be done. The big complaint would be the lack of dragons. They take up so much space that they need to go, except maybe one or two specific examples.
