Apparently v2.0 is some good, though I can't confirm or deny that yet.I have particularly fond memories of Dark Sun and Birthright, for good old 2nd ed settings (never mind that I intensely dislike 1st and 2nd ed AD&D <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />). Fluff-wise, they were a bit (alright, a lot) cheesy sometimes. Crunch-wise, they had some neat innovations (I thought).Pendragon has a really.. interesting feel. It's not d20, any more than WFRP is, just to clear that up first (if that's even necessary). I don't know why it is exactly, but I've always found the whole package oddly compelling.Um.. not all of those are dark <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/nervous.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":heh:" title="Nervous Laugh    :heh:" data-shortname=":heh:" /> - honest! Birthright, for example, can be all kinds of things - even a jolly ol' hack n' slash with yer mates.. er, if you want.Anger of Angels - whether with a fantasy, modern, historical, post-apoc or other backdrop - is something really different (from your usual d20 elves, dwarves et al), and the creators did pretty well here, IMHO.Some of the GURPS setting / supplement books are great for the fluff, IMO. Examples include some of the historical ones and their take on vampires (again, IMO). Really, very useful and well-written RPG books.Um.. I can't think of anything else off the top of my head right now. But there are others, to be sure. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />edit - well... it's not really a setting, I suppose, but Book of the Righteous (and the Book of Fiends) have some very good fluff, I think (as well as crunch, for that matter).</blockquote>
