http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=145458.0That means "A Song of Ice and Fire". Is the title less confusing now?
Anyway, I mean the RPG made by
Green Ronin. I've found a copy of the rulebook and am busy reading it...from what I can see, it's fairly interesting. It seems there's plenty of rules for creating not only characters, but their own noble houses as well-you actually design it, and roll up a history for it, and your adventures can benefit it...or not...
I like how their is both rules for combat (axing your enemy in the face) and intrigue (convincing your enemy to axe your other enemy in the face).
I might be interested in running a campaign-maybe a test one, to start. Given I've been re-reading the entire series (again), I'm certainly willing to see if it works out.
Just prodding for interest here. Who would want to play a game? What sort of setting do you think we could run?
I've got a few ideas off the top of my head...
-The Doom of Valyria (Players are members of a house in the ancient Freehold of Valyria, where the Targs originally escaped from an unspecified "Doom". Lots of room for creativity here, since what actually happened is still mostly a mystery in lore.)
-Alternate Reality/War of Five Kings (Players create a custom minor noble house that takes the place of one of the "canon" houses in Westeros, during the War of Five Kings-all players are part of the same house, and work cooperatively to raise their fortune... !!Fun!! ensues.)
-Sellswords (Instead of House, players create a Sellsword army. Could take place in any time...))
-[Kj1225 suggests] The Wall (Players are Black Brothers-the swords in the darkness, the watchers on the walls, the shields that guards the realms of men. Combat centered. Since everyone North of the wall wants you dead. And then, not quite dead.)
Interested Players-Sheb
-Prophet
