So I got this idea to run a RPG based on FIW. I have a generic system (Hero) which I'm working with. Another option is the Long Rifle rules by Two hour wargames.
Some stuff I'm drawing from the Assassin's Creed game series like the Templars vs. Assassins dichotomy, and I might include some fantastic beasts into the mix like Native American werewolves (werebears?) and maybe other fantasy creatures (very low-key)
I haven't decided how wargamey I want it to be, a pure RPG approach might make the stories the focus, but I'm definitely including miniatures and maps or terrain into the mix. Might go with dungeon tiles, wilderness tiles etc, while breaking out the warmat out for bigger battles once the story reaches a climax.
I'm on the search for heroic type figures in 28mm for the assassin/templar characters, and deciding on the campaign plus getting some reading done (Crucible of War by Fred Anderson).
For Hero System, I have some basic mechanisms in place for the game, a card draw initiative system, possibly squished down stats for characters, some ideas for equipment and weapons, and of course a collection of character powers from the genre books (Pulp Hero and Dark Champions).
