IC: Crown and Skull
Not necessarily "political", but not hyperfocused on tactical battles. That's hard to run on PBP compared to how easy it is on table top or computers these days.
Political sounds like endless debates about zoning laws.
I am talking just let me play a Dragon in a Dragon council and we have our little domain/creche of goblin followers, or a Noble Lord in a Pendragon style world of King Authur with my own Manor Hall and a few villages. Anything in between - a Chaos Knight with a small band of followers, a Vampire Lord in the forsaken lands of the Empire from Warhammer, Paladins and Priests of a fallen god running a crusade. I am open - as long as it's more than just "Roll for random encounters" and "Check for secret traps"
More role play, less roll play.
Giving me some land to care about - some people to care about, allows me to watch them grow and prosper - it gives me a reason to care.
In typical fantasy RPG, you often appear as a lone wolf 1st level character with little to no background, wandering from town to town and ruin to ruin with no roots.
Give me some land, and we can still do the same thing, except now when I ride out to deal with the bandits, it's because they are harming MY people, when I rescue the princess, it's so that I can marry her to my heir, -think more King Conan and Less Conan the Barbarian.
I'd run a thieves guild, captain a starship, lead a dragon council, be a demi-god with my own worshippers like Gilgamesh or Hercules in the age of chariots and city-states. Just add some domain building on the side, and we are good. Ultimately, as the GM - it's more about what you feel would be an interesting thing to run that will give the game longevity.
When you start it - if you are open to it, I'd play. If you want to set it up - and are patient to teach me some of the finer things about the system, I'd appreciate it. I watched the Youtube video but did not buy the books. It really does look like it takes a lot of good ideas and tries to streamline what is "Fun" - so good choice on systems. I'll go out and buy the PDFs for the game soon, so I can read up.
