Well, I guess I'll be getting it. Of all the settings for D20, AU stands out as the only one to "grab" me, for some of the reasons you mentioned (a setting which caters to "fix-it up myself" GMs, for example) and the moral ambiguity/alignmentless nature of the Diamond Throne world.

That, and this is one of the few good, hardcore high-fantasy worlds out there to have no elves, dwarves, halflings, or orcs anywhere to be seen.....a trope of RPGs and fiction that even current fantasy authors try to avoid these days, but which pervades gaming like rats in plague-stricken London.
