PA doesn't have a setting. It emulates television shows so the GM and players (director and cast) have more control over the game than usual.If you want horror that the players drive, try Sorcerer. Yes, the writing is a bit hard to stomach for some but the core idea, people summoning things that can not exist for power, is one of the best themes in rpgs.If you want a modern day, no magic setting with political overtones, try @ctiv8 (this is pdf and POD). It is all about people trying to make the world a better place and have the chance to do so because of a network of support.A couple relatively new science fiction games with eh systems and great settings are Eclipse Phase and Lesser Shades of Evil. Both are about immortals on a future Earth or Solar System. EP is more of what people expect from science fiction- space stations, ray guns and genetically altered people. LSE is an almost fantasy setting (Earth has been remade) where the PCs are immortals who are stuck in the middle of a civil war of those who made them such.And finally, Mutant Future is a free download from Goblinoid Games. It is a retroclone of Gamma World based on their Labyrinth Lord engine. It can be played for laughs, serious campaigning or as a horror game like few others. It has a lot of online support via their website, Skirmisher Publishing's forum (hundreds of monsters and score of mutations) and blogs.</blockquote>
