Freeport!
You want Freeport. It's one of the best d20 books (of ANY kind) on the market.

Thanks to all who voted and replied!
The city in question should not be "riot town", but should definately have some shady areas and not be entirely a "safe haven". That's a little vague, I know. All I can say is it should fall in that "grey area" which I'm sure any published city can do with the help of a half-decent DM.
From looking at all three briefly in stores, I would say Geanuvue is the most detailed, but I don't know how much of the "Kalamarian" feel I want (btw, I'm not familiar w/Kalamar). Freeport seems alright, but I haven't bought any of the modules..how important are they? Also, Freeport is on an island and I kinda want a mainland city IMC. Bluffside stood out, I liked the city layout, the NPCs, and the generic gods. Before this poll, I was learning towards Bluffside.
Again these opinions are based only on one or two brief gaming store purusals which is kind of unfair and may give inaccurate portrayals. That's why we have enworld!
I'll be away till Sunday but keep the votes comin'! I'm making a city book purchase when I get back!
PS: I'm also a big fan of small print, which is a reason (albeit small) I like Ruins of Undermountain 1 and the Hackmaster books. High words-per-page is much more important than page count.

Maerdwyn said:I have Geanavue, which is a great product, but doesn't, unfortunately mesh easily with my campaign world. I'm probably getting Freeport soon, but I'm also looking forward to "Seven Cities" from Atlas Games, based on how much I liked their "Seven Strongholds" book last month.

Their next release--Stormhaven--will probably be much better (talked to the author a bit).
