I like GW Knights. I like Game of Thrones. I am interested in a campaign where the players have control of a household of knights or even represent individual knights in a particular household. I have the rules as presented in WD 126 but sadly they were never finished. Subsequent rules (including the latest Imperial Knights codex) cover the various types of Knights, their stats and weapons etc…. but nothing covers the courtly intrigue. Does anyone have any suggestions for Wargaming / Roleplaying Game rules that would give the flavour of courtly intrigue. I am a child of the Rogue Trader era of 40K so I am quite partial to random event / background charts. [Please note I will be using EPIC scale Knight Miniatures for the Campaign as I have a number of the different types] |

A friend has just recommended 'A Song of Ice and Fire' RPG by Green Ronin Publishing. Is there aything else I could consider? |

I was going to say the same. I have it but haven't run it. It's a full-on rpg, though, so maybe more than you're looking for. Does have a neat system for "social combat" but this isn't something well-suited for a solo campaign, for example. |

"Outlaws of Sherwood" is a very fun game for a Campaign with a small medieval band or knightly retinue. |

The "Outlaws of Sherwood" rules are from "Pulp Action Library" and are for sale online in "Wargame Vault" site. |

Song of Shadows and Dust will give you ancient/medieval urban gang warfare including NPC civilians etc. |

You can run Pulp Alley with "social combat". There's an AAR out there where someone ran an Inquistor campaign using the system. |

Thanks for the suggestions I will look into them. :) |

What about the actual 40K RPG? (Dark Heresy or something like that). |

@Ivan DBA: The Dark Heresy mechanics suck harder than an explosively-decompressed orbital habitat. In order to succeed at the game, you need to figure out how to NEVER roll dice. Ever. Because if you do roll dice, you have about a 5% chance of catastrophic  up that is potentially capable of killing off the entire party. |

Not played it but Houses of the Blooded comes highly recommended for intrigue. |
