Has anyone run a Legend game based on the above themes?
A long time ago, a certain game company whose name begins with "W" and ends with "hite Wolf" released a book for a game called Mage: the Sorcerer's Crusade, called The Swashbuckler's Handbook. The aim of the sourcebook was to present scenarios and campaigns based solely on courtly intrigue, passions, seduction, backstabbing - literal and figurative - and the heady whirl of social combat in the era considered the heyday of social combat.
That book, together with Robert Greene's The 48 Laws of Power and The Art of Seduction, occupy a favoured position on my bookshelves to this day. The potential for such games as Shakespeare would declaim "I can grok this!" has always intrigued and fascinated me.
So, who's run such a game? And who's planning to run one?
