Harkwood

Written by Aaron Allston and J. David George, the supplement was designed for the setting of Yrth introduced in the first edition of GURPS Fantasy.

[2] The book includes chapters on character creation, the land of Caithness, the region of Harkwood, notes for the gamemaster, and rules for jousting tournaments.

[1] In the November 1989 edition of Dragon (Issue 151), Jim Bambra commented that due to the low magic content of this setting, "Although players can take on the roles of wizards, Harkwood is really a showcase for the sophisticated and highly playable GURPS combat system, making it suitable for fighters of noble, or not-so-noble status."

"[2] In the 1989 edition of Riimukiwi (Issue 4), Mikko Kurki-Suonio didn't think much of the background information about Harkwood was usable in a non-GURPS campaign, but the included adventure was very adaptable to different role-playing rules.

Kurki-Suonio called the adventure "a bit linear, with a certain feeling of being pulled by the nose," and also noted that some work had to be done on the dungeons to prepare them for play, and some non-player characters were missing equipment and statistics.
