[QUOTE="Crothian, post: 5851907, member: 232"] Have you seen the Pendragon RPG? It is playing knights in Camelot so it could help with some of the issues you are having. There are some good options in this kind of campaign. You can have them go out to take down bandits and learn the bandits are really out of work farmers that are being taxed to oblivion. Going this direction you can really steal a lot from Robin Hood and even have that kind of figure that the Knights have are eventually sent out to bring to justice. How much supernatural is in the campaign? There is plenty that can be done with the occasional mythic creature, the fey, ghosts, and other similar elements. If you like political conflict you could build to the death of the King and two legitimate heirs that are willing to take the country to civil war to become King. Who do the Knights support? There are all kinds of political problems that can be brought to bear. Maye the King is ordering them on secret missions and a Duke or someone else of power is trying to figure out what they are up to. And why is the King sending them on all these seemingly odd and unrelated missions? You can have invaders or neighboring countries that stir up problems. Are the evil or just doing things differently? You can have all kinds of culture clashes. One thing I like to do in this kind of campaign is having very few people and obstacles be black and white.
