Looking Grimm?

[Macbeth]

I just looked into a new d20 minigame being made by Fanatsy Flight Games called Grimm. At frist I was excited to see a product on Fairy Tales. Fairy Tales are, actually, much darker and more disgusting then what we know today, and a product that presented that side had my interest immediately. However, it soon started to dissapoint me. Instead of doing some research into the history of fairy tales and presenting that to the reader, they assume knowledge of fairy tales and use the best known versions of the character. Also, despite the fact the older fairy tales could make some great adventures they assume that you would only want to run fairy tales with child PCs. I was hoping that this would be a book on using fairy tale elemnts in a D&D game, with a little history on the tales, just for good measure. Instead, this is a book on turning our modern, sacrine tales into darker versions of themselves, and running children through them.
Don't get me wrong, the book is still a step in the right direction, but I was hoping for fairy tales monsters to put in a D&D game, not a children's story (and some of the 'rougher' fairy tales are no children's stories)

So all we know so far is that the book wasn't what you wanted. But how is the game as presented? I thought the sample adventure in Game Trade was awesome, and this would be a really fun mini-game to play for a session or two.
