GURPS Arabian Nights

[2] GURPS Arabian Nights is a 128-page softcover book designed by Phil Masters for the third edition of GURPS, with interior art by Sam Inabinet and Laura Eisenhour, and cover art by Rowena Morrill.

[4]: 45 In the July 1995 edition of Dragon (Issue #219), Allen Varney was not initially impressed with the thought of another sub-genre book from SJG, commenting: "To my mind, the GURPS 'universal' RPG believes in encoding all of existence as rules, as opposed to creating fun campaigns.

Some of its worldbooks show that with sufficient effort, a realistic viewpoint can make any adventure genre dull".

Varney used the example of flying carpets in this book that "won't bank sharply or fast", sarcastically pointing out "players might have accidentally tried something fun", but did admit that this was a "fascinating sourcebook of real-world Islamic history with digressions into legendary fantasy".

Overall he thought: "If you like genuine Islamic culture or want to know more about it, GURPS Arabian Nights is worth searching for".
