War of the Usurper:




"I'll kill every Targaryen I get my hands on."

"In my dreams I kill him every night. A thousand deaths would still be less than he deserves."


- Robert Baratheon


This is a game set in the world of George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire fantasy series, as well as the short stories of the Hedge Knight, and most recently HBO's adaption series 'Game of Thrones'. Credit and thanks goes to Mr. Martin himself. And of course to those taking the time to participate.

This is, however, an 'Alternate Universe' game. While canon is where our story begins...it will certainly not be where it ends.

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. As the title suggests, this game would draw heavily from established canon regarding Robert's Rebellion. This means some canon characters would be 'up for grabs' and others will not. It doesn't mean you cannot recreate a house from scratch. We are still figuring out how best to include several central characters. Though people like Rhaegar and Varys would not be open for play, possibilities are legion. So go ahead, plot and scheme with or against your fellow players.

Any questions, or comments, you might have are welcome. GMs for this newest installment are @Ruby and myself.

IC Details

  • The game will take place during the year 282 AC on the eve of Robert's Rebellion.
  • Spring has arrived early and warm.
  • Some nobility have extended their stays in the capital for political reasons.
  • Small Council seats open to PCs.
  • Don't worry about canons, but if you want, you can apply for one.
  • House Targaryen is held for story-telling reasons by the GMs.
  • Some canon characters (e.g. Varys, Rhaegar) are not open for play. The choice concerning who is open for play will be handled case by case because there are so many canon characters.
  • Most believe the dragons have all died off.


OOC Details

  • 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.
  • Some canons will be held in GM NPC capacity for storytelling purposes.
  • This is not a pure 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.
  • Applications may take a few days before a decision can be made. Generally issues will be resolved over PMs.
  • Players are encouraged to play typically one-on-one scenarios, large battle scenarios, cloak-and-dagger scenarios, small plots and large plots. To be creative, and to interactive with their fellow players on their own to plot is expected. Take initiative.



Character Sheets

Please note: Apply for one character, or an entire House. Generally, players will either pick up a canon house or create their own house and roleplay with one or several members of it. This means each player is entitled to several characters per house. However, they do not all have to be members of said house by ties of blood. Instead you can use several types of characters as points of views.

Naturally there are other options in the world of aSoIaF, such as Septons, hedge knights and sellswords, spies and spymasters, mercenaries and merchants from across the Narrow Sea, and many more. Additionally, as spots fill up or the need arises, players are allowed to play as more than one house or take over a fallen one. Get creative, don't be afraid to push a few boundaries.

Announcements:


  • There is a discord server available via this link. In it you shall find two channels: one is intended for discussion and OOC banter, the other "ravens_ic" is reserved for 'public' information coming from the Red Keep, the Wall or the Citadel. Participants may also use said channel to exchange IC correspondence between their characters if they wish.

I'm gonna wait to see what other players want, House wise, before going for anything outside the House Lannister I'm co-opting with Sini.

Just so people aren't wondering what I'm doing/waiting on me.

I've bumped the Interest Check for good measure, but Ruby's right.

Expect some Lannisters today or tomorrow.

It's not your first application. You know what we've come to expect and such. Don't feel the need to mirror mine. Emphasis will be on IC writing, the OOC stuff is a preparation and basis to work from.

But thank you for that passive aggressive compliment :P

Barring changes made to cater to other participants, the Lannister sheet should be done.

It's the product of about an hour of actual work but hey, everyone's doing it.

Apparently this is not one of those cases.
