I own Harkwood. I like it a lot. It's well written and has lots of room for exanded use. I'd likely use it for any Yrth campaign that I did run.

I'm not really sure what people mean when they complain ''GURPS doesn't have a fantasy setting other than Yrth.'' GURPS has many other fantasy settings: Mad Lands, and several worked examples of historical fantasy:Celtic Myth, Rome, Vikings, Robin Hood, Camelot, etc. It also has GURPS Myth, GURPS Goblins, Bunnies & Burrows,etc.

As for 3E-4E conversion...are people seriously complaining about that? Try converting between AD&D and D20...or 4E. GURPS has EXCELLENT back-compatibility. That's a major selling point of GURPS products, for this game buyer.
