Ruling a fief
« on: December 24, 2013, 03:43:01 AM »
I am looking for the best rules out there to create, manage a fief/land/House... over some generations.
I have some names in my mind but since there is more in several heads than in one, I ask you for more names and/or systems.

You know there is something wrong with the FWL, when Word's spell check changes Impavido to Impetigo and Zechetinu to Secretion.

Agreed Nova but I always mixed in other outside stuff as well. Traveller: The New Era (GDW 0300) helped me generate detailed star systems for a BattleTech domain while this D&D (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeons_%26_Dragons_Companion_Set) boxed set helped a lot as well.

Possibly look into any ruleset that treats an organization as a 'character'.  I think Cyberpunk 3.0 does this but there may/should be others.  Hope this helps.

Any of the various FATE systems would work quite well at this. If you wanted a specific sci-fi bend on those rules, you could look at Diaspora. For slightly more technical, look at Strands of Fate. They model exactly this quite well from my own experiences.

I will look at all these systems.
I had begun looking at HârnMaster, Pendragon or A Game of Thrones RPG/A Song of Ice and Fire RPG

It really depends on how you want to track it.  Hero works just as well
