some mechanical things are better in 4E but 3E has the content laid out in a digestible format that world builders like myself can draw from. 4E lacks some core essentials and it feels like the editors expect people like me to do their job. I make my own stuff but it is much less time consuming and fun when I have a good foundation to start from.
Things like Fantasy folk and bestiary help build that foundation, far more than more guns and gadgets do.

From the Publisher
From the tiny, winged Ellyllon to treetop-tall Giants, this book brings 24 nonhuman fantasy races to GURPS. It includes expanded versions of such fantasy "standards" as Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, and Halflings, as well as exotic creatures such as savage Minotaurs, four-armed Insect Warriors, and magical, mischievous Leprechauns.
GURPS Fantasy Folk treats nonhuman races as unique cultures made up of individuals, not as sketchily-defined "monsters." Each race has its own well-defined psychology, ecology, culture, and politics, making it easy for GMs and players to create their own fully-developed nonhuman characters. Also included are campaign notes, adventure seeds, and sample characters for each race.
And there are complete rules for generating your own fantasy races! The Fantasy Folk race creation rules allow the GM to customize nonhumans. Included are racial advantages like Winged Flight and Cultural Adaptability, disadvantages such as Short Attention Span and Invertebrate, and unique racial features like Mindshare, Innate Skills, and Magic Spells.
