Westeros: A Game of Thrones.

[Double A]

Real time!

[Diamondeye]

Real time!

1 Week = 1 Week. This will be awesome.

[Zack]

Why has this not filled up 3 times over?

I might join if I knew more about what exactly this game is. Like an NES?

1 week turns are very, very appealing, though.

[Centurion1]

that would work.

i would say a moth in game for a week in rl.

I will play wherever possible if spots are still open. I'm sorry about my inactivity with CK I had a lot going on at the time.

[johnhughthom]

I'm not sure what NES games are Zack, they're at CFC right? I had a look but couldn't find them, have a quick skim through the Crusader Kings game linked in the op, this will be very similar.

[Diamondeye]

Never Ending Stories.

[johnhughthom]

Never Ending Stories.

Looks like it will be very similar.

[Zack]

Hesitant in.

[Kagemusha]

1 turn =one month in game sounds like a very good setting. A week in real time for diplomacy and orders sounds good.

[slashandburn]

I've only read game of thrones and never played crusader kings, is that alright?

I'll probably do a poll a few weeks before the game starts and let the players choose. I'm still in the very early stages of design, and I'd like to read the series again to make sure I don't make too many silly mistakes. It's still a few months away at least.

I wouldn't care if you had never read any of the books and hadn't heard of Crusader Kings, you're my old FBI partner so you're welcome in any game I host.

[Double A]

I had fun in jht's last CK game, and I hadn't even heard of it before that.

[slashandburn]

cool, i'd like to join when this starts up and i'd prefer to be the Starks

[dcmort93]

I'm in when it starts

[johnhughthom]

Just a quick update to let those interested know this is still alive, I've been working on it slowly, but surely. It'll probably start a week or so after the end of Capo (assuming my R&RHoF game is done by then). I'm halfway through Clash of Kings in my pre-game series re-read, and picked up a few details I'd forgotten about.

[Double A]

You should say them in public to remind me of them.

Read it yourself!

[Double A]

I already read it twice and I'm too busy reading The Art of War to change that.

You can read The Art in an hour...

[Double A]

Too many fun video games and forums to be reading books in spare time right now. I only read during school when I don't have anything else to do.

[scottishranger]

Im in if this starts. Absolutely adore the books im halfway through A Feast For Crows right now

[The Stranger]

ye pm me when it starts.

[Jarema]

I want to be in; I love the setting (now going through A Feast For Crows, should get to an end of saga in a week or two)

[Skooma Addict]

In when this starts.

[Ishmael]

I must say, I'm quite liking the look of this. In. I've just started 'A Feast for Crows,' in case anybody was remotely curious.

[johnhughthom]

I'm thinking that when Capo is finished (not for a few weeks yet it looks) I'll put up a poll for turn length and ask everybody to pm me with 3 choices for faction in order of preference, with the unfathomable fetish for Starks that so many readers/watchers seem to have I assume they will be oversubscribed, and with their awesomeness the Lannisters probably will be also. It'll probably come down to random.org.

I was pondering the public write up being a raven delivering a letter the the Night's Watch bringing it up to date on the latest goings on in the Kingdom, while also telling the story of life on the wall (which will not vary overly from canon without player interference). Each factions write up per phase will be from the point of view of one of their characters, probably also involving ravens.

[Ishmael]

That sounds good - I like the idea of the ravens. As to the factions, the Starks and Lannisters are too prominent for my liking - if we can be part of a minor 'faction' I would love to be Walder Frey (having read Storm of Swords I like his style!), but in regards to major factions Dorne and Storm's End look nice.

[LazyMcCrow]

jht: I would love to play this, but I've not even finished the first book yet, and not going to even look at the TV show til I've read the lot, so I may not be able to allow myself. Please put me down as a tentative in and I'll drop out before it starts, if I've not done the reading :)

It'll be good few weeks before it starts, and hopefully I'll get enough player to have a few in every faction so there should be somebody to help you along. Knowledge of the books/series isn't actually required, all the information you need to play will be available to you. Knowing the lore will just make it more fun.

I want to be Greyjoy!
