Pendragon played with the Boy King supplement has that same focus, albeit with knights rather than wizards. As far as I can tell local play groups prefer the Boy King generational saga to all other possible modes of Pendragon play. I might ascribe that preference to the fact that the Boy King campaign has an overt procedural approach.
