League As a Roleplaying Game

This probably isn't a new question, BUT, after reading this awesome web-comic featuring Jayce and Victor I wondered if anybody would even be interesting in making and/or playing one. One of the advantages would be that you could play the pre-retconned lore or explore the new era Riot has put in place (no hard feelings).

As far as system, I could see FATE Core RPG or d20 for something crunchier working for something like this.

Thoughts?

I have actually tried starting making a few League-based games. Sadly, I have two problems: I get bored with making it or I am my own worst critique and hate what I made.

I would love another game from the League lore (old lore... not new) in a new genre.

I'm the same way. I hoped this might inspire someone who might be missing the contributions to the old lore. This is sorta me wanting to pass the torch to someone else who might be interested, because I am by no means a lore expert. This might also become an awesome way to explore new interactions and possibilities between characters in this new segment of lore.

I'm also not the best GM that no one ever was, but I drew up some ideas of a game exploring the old lore event, "An Ancient Mystery in Runeterra" through the eyes of Ezreal. Remember that image with his table cluttered with all those clues of Aatrox? How interesting of a lore wolf campaign would that be? You can delve through Runeterra to see what's all there with the looming threat of this dark figure with a jagged blade. Sounds crazy to me.

So, I drew up the Game Creation Table that you use for FATE,

Game Name: An Ancient Mystery In Runeterra Setting: Runeterra

Current Issues: Dark figure wielding a jagged blade. Impending Issues: Who is this figure, and what role has he played in Runeterra's history?

Faces: Ezreal -Ezreal (Prodigal Explorer) Aatrox -Aatrox (The Darkkin Blade) Jayce -Jayce (Defender of Tomorrow) TwistedFate -Twisted Fate (The Card Master)

Places: -Demacia (Noble City-State) -Noxus (Seat of True Power) -Piltover (City of Progress) -Shurima (Desert of the Ascendants) -Freljord (Tundra of Iceborn) -Ionia (Island of Diplomacy)

Aspects were something REALLY easy to conjure up as well (perhaps you recognize the tags for the champions? :D )

Whadda think?
