Crusaders, Alchemy, Sumerian Horror, DesertPunk

Looking for a fantasy game, preferably using FATE (either Core or Accelerated) but I also have the rules for D&D 3.5, Mongoose Conan or Green Ronin's ASOIAF for this, along with the free to download Nights of the Crusades. nWoD I'd also accept, though I'd prefer the others above.

Essentially either a game based on the time of the Crusades or is a fictional setting based around its tropes (like in the title, a kind of desertpunk crossed with Lovecraft setting, with Crusaders).

I'm picturing something very similar to FFXII if not a historically accurate (as much as a Lovecraftian game can be) game, with crumbling crusader states and fortresses, ancient demonic forces, perhaps actually ancient Lovecraftian style Elder Things, with hints of alchemy as magic and brass being a major metal for construction ^^

Think Turkey, Syria, Lebanon back in the days of the Crusades, that kind of feel :) I see alot of fantasy games here, but few do much with this kind of setting and really, I find this one of the coolest settings a fantasy game can be set around :)

Let me know if anyone's interested in something like this, either playing or GMing something ^^

I would be interested in playing in this, preferring the FATE rules.

Just posting to say I'd be interested as well. Haven't played FATE at all, but it's been on my to do list.
If I had more time I'd offer to run this in Cortex...

I have Nights of the Crusades and would love to actually play it if we can find a willing GM...

Just another poke for this... I'm easy on the system and would be looking at something that's kind of like Berserk but set in some desert lands, 12th century kind of level of technology.

No guns, just bows and arrows or crossbows as ranged weaponry, low fantasy where dark magic is rare and used mainly by the villians...

But still having a desert punk kinda feel, maybe it's future Earth, maybe it's another planet altogether, I don't really mind :)

Sounds fun. I'd be down for playing in a game like this, depending on the system.

Bumping this, I was thinking perhaps Dungeon World could be a great system to run this as it would world-build at the same time, otherwise I'm pretty open to the system. I have a preference to light systems with minimal gear selection options as I always struggle in choosing gear for a character (thus Dungeon World is a great game for me ^^), I know a good few systems, so if you like the sound of this type of game and have a suggestion for a system, don't be afraid to write it below :)
