If you want to expand the rules base for high-powered characters, I'd recommend Powers -- even though it doesn't add very many new Advantages, it does provide some good explanations as to how to build all sorts of whatacts with what is provided in Basic Set 1. Magic is a large expansion of the main GURPS spellcasting system. Fantasy is essentially a genre book. Banestorm is the new version of GURPS Yrth. I always disliked the Yrth setting and reading this book didn't make me like it any better. _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
