I saw the book's title listed on SJGames "books we want to see" list, and I very much wanted it. I just didn't know I'd have the honor of being the one to write it!

It compiles elven templates, adds some never-before-seen ones, and gives suggestions for creating more. It also collects other things "elven," includes new ones, and has suggestions for how to create your own.

Because one book can't of course hold everything, it also gives a number of sources for going beyond the book, both inside and outside of GURPS. That was one thing I got a great deal of help on from SJGames staff, other GURPS writers, and playtesters. I spent a lot of time searching and researching, and they still came up with things I missed! So more got added.

Honestly, I've been writing professionally for many years. I've never gotten as much help from as many people as I got on this book.

That sounds like everything I could hope for. I've been fascinated by Elves in fantasy ever since I read The Hobbit at primary school, so I'm looking forward to this!
