there's only one true way to avoid crapsack and that is to write a balanced story.. believe it or not you have to actually make a deliberate effort to make a work crapsack, you can make a setting nasty and depressing by accident but for the "grimdark worlds of grimdarkness" like Warhammer you need to really make an effort to be as negative as possible.

as long as you take a balanced approach between "good" and "evil" in a setting then you'll never have crapsack.
