The magic rules for GURPS were not included in the original GURPS Basic Set, but were released in GURPS Fantasy (1986), which was also the first setting book for GURPS and added more detail on the world of Yrth. GURPS Fantasy used the fantasy world of Yrth, which was introduced in Orcslayer (1985), the single supplement for Man to Man. The original was supplanted by GURPS Fantasy 2nd edition and GURPS Magic. The campaign setting describes the world of Yrth (focusing on the country of Caithness), several other lands of humans and dwarves, plus data on culture and customs. The rules cover magic (spell-point system) and spells (over 300), character creation, nonhuman races, magical creatures, and monsters. The first edition is a GURPS supplement of fantasy rules, with a campaign setting. Extensive commentary on the countries of Yrth and plenty of staging tips are included. Snatched from Earth the Crusaders still wage war on their ancient enemy, the Saracens, simultaneously contending with a wide range of ravaging monsters. The first edition of GURPS Fantasy (1986) delivers the GURPS magic system and the background to the campaign world with over 300 spells and 20 colleges of magic, the magic system is wide, varied, and detailed. The fourth edition of GURPS separates the fantasy parts into fantasy and a setting book called GURPS Banestorm. These two editions received mixed reviews in game periodicals including Dragon, Space Gamer/Fantasy Gamer, and Games International. A second edition by new writers was published in 1990 as GURPS Fantasy: The Magical World of Yrth. It presented a magic system for the game as well as background information for the fantasy campaign world of Yrth. GURPS Fantasy is a Genre Toolkit source book which was first designed by Steve Jackson and published by Steve Jackson Games in 1986 for the GURPS role-playing game. 1986 (1st edition for 3rd edition GURPS) 1990 (2nd edition for 3rd edition GURPS) Octo(3rd edition for 4th edition GURPS)
