A Game of Thrones - A Song of Ice and Fire

[Sini]

As some of you may know, we have written some lovely RP set in GRRM's setting of A Song of Ice and Fire in the past.

I would like to start another, with people old and new. Whether this would be reiteration of this one, an earlier go or something new is still up for debate. The only thing I really, really want to steer clear of is a 'contemporary' RP. I don't want to simply re-tell what's on TV or in the excellent books.

This intcheck is simply to test the waters and ask for story (and time-frame) suggestions. For those whose interest is piqued but not really have an idea of what to expect, I suggest you check out the link above so you can get an idea.

So... crack at it. Tell me what you'd like to see.

Oh god yes.
The timeframe that has always fascinated me are the the years after the settlement by the Andals (and the Rhoynar) but before the arrivals of those pesky purple eyed freaks (jk some of them were cool-I'm looking at you Aemon and Jahaerys).
The possibilities are virtually limitless as little is concrete about this massive era giving us tons of room to experiment.

Just my two pennies.

Definitely interested. Few questions:

1. Characters or Houses? That is, are we going to be playing individuals or more along the lines of a nation-ish RP?

2. Canon, semi-canon or non-canon? That is, are we going to be play with the normal houses and timeline, slightly tweaked versions or a strange alternate dimension where the Ironborn aren't utter drek?

I'd be interested in trying this out, no promises though

@Leodiensian

1. Both. This caters to both sorts of roleplay, though I have to say it is heavily focused on the character aspect.

2. We always stick to the canon we know. Actually, I should say we start from the canon we know and go from there. It will definitely not be where we end.

I have considered this, but I fear it might take us too far from what we know. A decentralised Westeros (more than it already is otherwise) could keep people to isolated. In addition, there is just so much unknown. I agree that it creates opportunity, but I am a bit iffy about it.

I started an OOC and currently am working on the setting information. This will take place during Aegon III's regency, so a boy-king and lots of regents vying for power and influence.
