[QUOTE="grodog, post: 4917387, member: 1613"] For SF, I recommend [B]Blue Planet[/B], since the game is 90% setting, and it's quite excellent (if you like hard-SF set in the near future); I've continue to hear great things about Ken Hite's [B]GURPS: Transhuman Space[/B] from people I trust, but I haven't gotten around to picking it up yet. On the fantasy front, I've added my recommendations after the books you own already, which are now bolded: Glorantha - [B]HeroQuest[/B], Pavis, Big Rubble, The Complete Griselda (excellent gaming fiction short stories: they really bring the setting alive!) Greyhawk - [B]Living Greyhawk Gazetteer, 1E box set[/B], From the Ashes, Greyhawk: the Adventure Begins (for the city of Greyhawk updates; this is better than the CoG box set), Living Greyhawk Journal #2 (for the CoG map; or you can pull it from Maldin's site @ [URL="http://www.melkot.com/"]www.melkot.com[/URL]) and #4-5 add on addition city updates); largely, further recommendations depend on what you want to run or what interests you: if you provide more specifics, I'm sure I/we can provide better input for your consideration Harn - [B]Harnworld[/B], Cities of Harn, Castles of Harn (both great for any setting, really) Tekumel - [B]Swords & Glory vol. 1:Tekumel Sourcebook[/B], TSR box set, or one of the later reprints Thieves World - [B]Gazetteer[/B], Chaosium box set and Thieves World Companion, the 4 adventures published by FASA Valus - YAY! :D :D There's unfortunately only one other Valus book, and it's still available from DWP @ [url=http://www.diffworlds.com/valus.htm]Different Worlds Publications - Valus[/url]: it's the "Return of Ippizicus Child-Eater" adventure, which is quite good [/QUOTE]
