[QUOTE="Argyle King, post: 6259568, member: 58416"] Even some of the non-fluffy books for GURPS are useful for outside of GURPS; the quality of research which goes into something like a book on guns, swords, or whatever is typically pretty high. Though, yes, I would agree that the books containing more fluff are probably of more value outside of the system. In particular, I've found both Horror and Zombies (both 4th edition books) to be very thought provoking. In the case of Horror, the discussion of different types of fears and how different monster choices might better portray certain fears was pretty cool. In the case of Zombies, I started to look at the concept of "zombie" in multiple different lights; I hadn't really considered before what else a zombie might be other than a slow shambling corpse. For what it's worth, some of the old 3rd Edition setting and fluff books are awesome as well; they're also still available, and available for order rather cheaply from the SJ Games website. Some have even been updated to pdf form for those who prefer digital format. [/QUOTE]
