An interest thread for this RP!: https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/178117-asoiaf-before-the-dragons-danced/ooc
Some may remember in the distant annals of history that a group of us used to host Advanced ASOIAF/GoT games with a generally open approach to player action and collaboration. Well, with a substantial break and the last season of GoT running down, consider us out of retirement in this regard.
The RP is something of a blend of an open character based rp and a nation rp, with most players taking on houses or influential characters and their network of political and other such influence. Posts are generally from the point of view of characters rather than an 'overview' as a Nation RP might be. We're all big ASOIAF nerds who host this, so we like to take our guide from canon, but it's certainly not a canon game, players may be creative with their houses and characters, and the story may go a dramatically different direction.
The RP itself is set long before the books and the TV show, even prior to the Targaryen Civil War, the Dance of Dragons, which spelt the end of the reign of true Dragons in Westeros. For those interested in the period, there are several books dealing with this period of canon, such as 'The World of Ice and Fire' and 'Fire and Blood' from which the inspiration for this RP has formed.
Hope to see plenty of you 'in game' as it were :)
