Sometimes the differences are obvious - anyone can distinguish a seafaring mage from a turban-crowned spellcaster, or a thief of Lantan from a burglar of Amn. But often, appearance gives no clue: even wizards and rogues of the Dalelands vary from Dale to Dale, though one may look the same as another.Faerunians are fiercely proud of their heritage, and they carry their native traits with them wherever they go.

Knights and Wizards!
They were the best knights in the world. They were advised by the most powerful wizard of all . . . Merlin himself! And their leader was King Arthur, bearer of Excalibur.
The story of Camelot is the story of chivalry itself. All the knightly traditions of fantasy . . . monster-slaying, maiden-rescuing, jousts, adventures in disguise . . . came from the tales of King Arthur, as told by a thousand years of bards. Now Camelot comes alive for the role player.
GURPS Camelot includes backgrounds for three versions of the legend.
"Set in 1830 England where humans don't exist. Goblins run the world.
Originally published by Circle Games in the 1980s, Goblins is a rather unique social commentary, and was partially meant as such.
Characters are Goblins from the bottom rungs of society. They deal with the poverty and other issues that were endemic to British society of that time.
From the back:
"This game deals with a variety of unpleasant subjects, such as burglary, prostitution, child abuse, leeching, alcoholism, the opinions of O.S. Fowler, piracy and venereal disease."
In a first for GURPS, most of the 144-page book is printed in color."
From the front of the book:
The Garou remember.
The werewolves tell the tales of their greatest heroes, keeping alive
the ways. Stories as old as time and even older, stories stretching back
to the dim mists of prehistory and stories as new as yesterday.
The Garou must remember.
For when the stories are no longer told, then the Dying Race will die.
From the back of the book:

In the Verge, you can go for dozens of light-years in any direction without seeing a single sign of life. You can land on hundreds of planets that are nothing more than frozen, airless rocks. And you can live to tell about it. But what fun would that be?

The text traces the voyage of the Concord Survey Vessel Kepler as it visits 14 different star systems around the Verge. In these pages you'll meet:
Some of these aliens are vicious killers. Some of them are just the opposite. The excitement and danger comes from figuring out which is which--before the aliens figure out the truth about you.

What you need is GURPS Religion.
GURPS Religion gives you everything you need to delve into the mysteries of creation and divine power. It opens up whole new vistas of roleplaying. Recreate gods from fantasy and myth, or create your own pantheon and answer the cosmic questions...
Who created the universe, and why?
Is there one deity or many?
Are the deities wise and benevolent, or are they rash and vengeful?
How do characters get divine power?
GURPS Religion allows you to design a complete cosmos. It also helps you to decide what part (if any) the gods play in character's day to day lives, and how to create the social institutions we know as religions.
There are also sections on designing clerical characters, and rules for the magical powers granted to the faithful.
Power, magic, death, and intrigue. The world of the gods is vast and complex. You can be a pawn of the powers that be. Or you can make the universe bend to your will.

"Fantasy Wargaming - Compiled and edited by Bruce Galloway
Deeper Dungeons. More Dangerous Dragons.
Whether you use a commercially packaged scenario or one of your own mind's design, whether you and your band of adventurers seek a quest - finding a hidden treasure, rescuing a damsel in distress, exploring lost cities, venturing into forbidden lands - to be really satisfying, a fantasy scenario must contain its own intrinsic and consistent logic. This can be found in some fantasy novels, but it is a great deal more challenging and more fun to design your own world. And this is what FANTASY WARGAMING enables you to do with a consistency and logic unavailable in previous books.
In FANTASY WARGAMING you enter into a realm where magic really does work, where ancient revelations unfold and provide a gateway to the Supernatural. As you devise your own adventures in this highest level for fantasy players, your cunningly logical maneuvers enable you to overwhelm dangerous opponents and formidable obstacles.
Here is an invaluable guide with complete playing rules and sections on:
Monsters and magic beings
Cultures, myth and religion
Character generation
Role playing
