To that end, you will likely find what you are looking for in the form of stuff from publishers other than Wizards of the Coast. A short list of material that offers something different to the game would be: *<a href="http://www.bastionpress.com/oathbound.htm" target="_blank">Oathbound: Domains of the Forge</a> (Bastion Press) - a capstone campaign setting that combines much of the high fantasy and attitude that people saw with Planescape and Dark Sun. *<a href="http://www.valarproject.com/" target="_blank">Book of Erotic Fantasy</a> (Valar Project) - this was a highly controversial book last year and, in a nutshell, gives you the rules and tools you would need to introduce elements of mature sexual themes into your game. People have vastly different opinions about the book, but politically correct isn't one of them. *<a href="http://www.badaxegames.com/" target="_blank">Grim Tales</a> (Bad Axe Games) - This is about as close to a d20 GURPS book as one could ever find. Overall, I've found it to be very well written with only a few stumbling blocks that the author even admits he'd like to address in possible future books, such as magic. *<a href="http://www.guardiansorder.com/" target="_blank">Slayers d20</a> (Guardians of Order) - Yes, it is based on an anime property, but the magic rules and psychological warfare rules are quite good and refreshing. *<a href="http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/" target="_blank">Midnight</a> (Fantasy Flight Games) - A fantasy campaign with a definite dark and evil feel, much like the original Ravenloft. In this world, evil has won and the PCs must plan their every move carefully or face certain death or worse. Hopefully this gives you a few ideas that will break your 'disappointment'.</blockquote>
