Recommend a system?
I've got a game I'm contemplating running here on RPoL for which I have in mind the basic structure of a plot and setting, but I don't know what system I want to use. I therefore seek the Wisdom of the Gamers - anyone have a recommendation?
I'm envisioning something close to a fairly typical D&D-style fantasy world, though with far less of a magical presence than most D&D settings. While warrior characters would be welcome and encouraged, and while there would certainly be opportunities for fighters to have their moments of awesomeness, the main emphasis of the plot would be on social and political conflict rather than military or individual combat. Think of court intrigue, along the lines of the subtler moments of Game of Thrones.
Something simple with not a lot of crunch is what I'm looking for here, something rules-lite enough that it plays efficiently in a play-by-post format. So stuff like D&D in whatever edition, or your various White Wolf games, don't feel like what I'm looking for.
Though I'm mostly unfamiliar with them, I had considered trying to use one of the various Powered by the Apocalypse games, based on what little I do know of them, since a lot of the social machination stuff seems to be well integrated into the bones of the system. But judging solely by the PbtA wikipedia article, none of them seem really appropriate (Dungeon World seems to hack-n-slashy, Urban Shadows too modern and too magical, etc).
Who's got a solution for me?
