[QUOTE="Wofano Wotanto, post: 9356594, member: 7044704"] I've never actually seen it or even a deep review so it may be completely useless to you(being based on D&D 4e strongly suggests that), but there's a [URL='https://rpggeek.com/rpgseries/21995/santiago-a-myth-of-the-far-future']Santiago RPG[/URL] based on the Mike Resnick novel of the same name and the broader setting/future history most of his scifi lives in. A major theme of his stories and the Santiago books in particular is the way myths accrete around real people even in the distant future, so maybe the game has a focus on that aspect of things. [SPOILER="Book spoilers"]Santiago, for ex, has a "Dread Pirate Roberts" thing going where it's more a title and rallying point for resistance to a distant core civilization that's slowly moving into the frontier zones - it has obvious parallels to the American West and many of the characters are effectively living tall tales, most of whom fall short of their legends in the end.[/SPOILER] If you can find a good deep dive review or someone here can provide one maybe it's worth a look. The game engine doesn't seem ideal for what you're after, but maybe I'm wrong and there's something as innovative as Lancer or King of Dungeons hiding in Santiago. [/QUOTE]
