Old Books; still great - Page 2

In a recent order of GURPS products, I decided to pick up two 3rd Edition Books: Bestiary and Fantasy Bestiary.

Even though they are from the previous edition, I've found them to be a great buy. Combined with the free pdf (http://e23.sjgames.com/item.html?id=SJG30-6024) which explains how to update 3rd Edition material to 4th, I now have a *mostly* ready made list of creatures with which to populate areas of my campaign worlds. There is also plenty of advice in the books which talks about various motifs. Yet another great resource is the plethora of ecology information about each creature.

One of the things I often see asked for is a creature compendium of some sort. Between the two of these -which are very very reasonably priced- and the pdf which I mentioned, I have over 400 creatures. Tired of the same old dragon rampaging the country side? How about an Aitvaras?

*Even with the pdf, there's still some work to convert the animals. However, at the very least you have a good base to work from.*
