The core group of gamers that I have are strongly high-fantasy, but they are 
willing to dabble in other genre for a one shot. They do not want to go 
further, I guess it's for fear that they might enjoy it too much and feel 
like they are cheating on a spouse?

You know this gives me an IDEA!Here it was all the time the answer staring 
right at me in the face. Instead of playing UA as a gritty reality concept, 
start them off in a urban fantasy setting. Something akin to Charles de 
Lint. It's worth a shot.
