Given that you are just now into 3e and only just got the core books stay away from the excelent but alternative PHB Conan, Game of Thrones, World of Warcraft, and Black Company books. Freeport is a great setting if you want to start a pirate/urban/lovecraftian themed game.Given what you have stated about your game prefrences I am going to echo the Dungeon Crawl Classics setting and adventures.  However, you might also consider looking into one of the Adventure Paths from Dungeon (which I believe may technically be in Greyhawk) or Red Hand of Doom (FR I think).  Once you read through RHoD its easy to come up with/find a starting adventure or two to get the PCs up to the level they need to be using that as a setting.  How big a setting do you want?  A world or region or a kingdom (I already know you don't want just a city)?  While I don't play FR its really not that difficult to take one of their region books and simply say "not the Realms" and change whatever you might need by way of names, etc.  and not fall into alot of the things that people say they don't like about FR.</blockquote>
