"Fear is for the winter, my little lord, when the snows fall a hundred feet deep and the ice wind comes howling out of the north. Fear is for the long night, when the sun hides its face for years at a time, and little children are born and live and die all in darkness while the direwolves grow gaunt and hungry, and the white walkers move through the woods.”
Step into the world of Westeros; take on the plate armor of a Knight, the cloaks and daggers of a Spy, the desperation of the lowborn, the grand schemes of the highborn, or the oath of the Night's Watch. Take control of an entire Great House, or a lowborn servant risen high through the power of cunning and their own will. Whoever you choose, be ready: for this is a Game none of us are assured to win, let alone survive.
Game Overview
- The IC setting will take place well before the events of the series/show.
- Consider this an Alternate Universe; canon is our starting off point, not our end point.
- Winter is nearly here in our setting. It comes faster and harsher than any in recorded history.
- This is not a NRP. Think other PCs are your greatest threat? Just wait.
- Advanced standards; collaborative storytelling at it's finest.
- You're assumed to be an adult by submitting a character for this game; please act like one.
Most importantly this game will continue the tradition of a hybrid approach of sandbox and storyline RP all our prior games have had. However, and differently than any other GoT game before, the 'main event' to this game is set before we even get started with an IC. So go ahead, plot and scheme against your fellow players...you may well find yourself lost out in the cold when darkness spreads and the Others come upon their giant white spiders to take you and yours.
Any questions, or comments, you might have are welcome. For the time being I'm going to be the only GM, though that could change before the game gets rolling in earnest.
