Well, i have plenty of inspirational movies and books to draw from. I think what i need is advice or crunch rules for running something low-magic, we've never attempted such a thing, and some of my players tend to munchkin a bit. I'm incorporating some of the pathfinder rules, namely the CMD/CMB system to encourage more daring combat flavor. I'm thinking of limiting magic to 3rd level, and magic item enhancements to +3. other than that, nothings concrete yet.
