Last night, I was working through a game I'd like to run-- several times, in different systems. I'm not sure where I'll wind up, but I'm interested in finding out.
Core Concept: Historical feeling, low magic fantasy fiction. (Deryni, Time of the Dark, and Tigana are all models.) The players will be important members of society-- princes, dukes, and their heirs. A few game styles are also possible.
- Leading Lives-- the PCs are the elite of the Kingdom, and have a bond to each other. Meanwhile, others undermine the Kingdom-- for greed or other reasons. The PCs cooperate at keeping the Kingdom together, preventing secession, assassination, and conquest.
- Lord Burtley's Retinue-- a noble and his retinue solve the kingdom's problems, as spies and secret agents
- Power Politics-- the PCs all play powerful influences at the Kingdom level, competing to influence the King. Several parallel mini-games; low priority.
Similarly, a few game systems suggested themselves-- none quite right, but several very close-- or just requiring a little pruning.
