Pyramid #3/70 Fourth Edition Festival - Destination: Abydos. An article written up by David Pulver that puts the Abydos city into a Dungeon Fantasy setting. If you want to do some undead slaying, DF style in Yrth, then you can go wrong with that.

Re: DF in Yrth
If going for DF style casters, I'd probably push things so that the minor religions, Paganism and the like, are where you go for healing magic and the like, the preserve the central Christianity/Islam conflict.

Re: DF in Yrth
Another possible setting is our own Jürgen Hubert's Doomed Slayers. It is not GURPS-specific, but it is presented as a general setting which can be ported into a variety of systems. The downside is that this means the setting is sketched out in only the most general way and might not have the detail you want. The upside is that it provides a geographic and cultural framework that you can customize.
Of course, I would recommend it if for no other reason than for the illustrations; but the book really does contain some interesting ideas on making slaying monsters and stealing their treasure a valid career option, even a profession with ethical standards and societal expectations.

And as for the clerics, etc., how many times has a setting for That Other Game been subjected to an awkward metaplot twist or total retcon to justify new character classes appearing in a setting where they hadn't been before. In the old martial arts movie Best of the Best, the sequel has an elaborate plot involving the main character's family. Except that a DIFFERENT, totally contradictory plot involving an entirely different family for this character was the linchpin of the first movie. One character tried to raise the subject, and another main character said, "it's a long story, don't ask" and the plot hole having been lampshaded was now ignored. IMO if you're doing a beer and pretzels dungeon crawl, those kinds of flagrant crimes against setting integrity are part of the appeal. |
