An RP of Ice and Fire (Interest Check/General OOC)

[Loco]

Hey all! I'm sure this is partly just final season of Game of Thrones hype getting to me, but I've also had a bit of a fantasy RP itch lately as well. To that end, I want to set up a Song of Ice and Fire RP loosely based on Green Ronin's SIFRP game. The gist is that the RP group would collectively generate a House from the ground up- region, lands, history, coat of arms, etc- then we would all create characters that in some way support that House (and, in true GoT style, our own personal vendettas). We have an initial campaign ready to go, and @Nefieslab has graciously offered to kill us all... er, GM. We'll use a mix of a few of SIFRPs rules, combined with some of our own SWRP style PvP and Dice systems.


We can handle at least a handful of players to start with, but to ensure a like minded and cohesive RP group I don't want it to be first come first serve if we get a ton of interest. Instead, if you're interested answer the following questions:

1. What is your level of GoT lore knowledge?:
2. What kind of game are you hoping for with this? Intrigueand backstabbing? Brutal warfare? Journey to the unknown? Murder hobos?:
3. What style character do you think you might play?:

[Eccles]

1. What is your level of GoT lore knowledge?: Main books and Dunk & Egg spin-off. Got me into forum based RP 8 years ago, so pretty on key with most lore aspects.
2. What kind of game are you hoping for with this?: Not entirely sure what this means..
3. What style character do you think you might play?: Most likely either smallfolk or hedge knight. I loved the Dunk & Egg stories and the role of a hedge knight (pledging his sword for a summer or so) but am personally not too interested in powerplays and politics.

1. What is your level of GoT lore knowledge?: I'm up to date with the show and have spent a few hours reading through the wiki
2. What kind of game are you hoping for with this?: Politics, maybe mixed with some brutal warfare.
3. What style character do you think you might play?: Scheming and calculative and mostly invested in politics and the like, with barely any combat experience that will hopefully improve as the story progresses. Then again, I sort of want to make a rowdy Northerner with a good heart so I'll prolly have to think about it

 

[Rom]

1. What is your level of GoT lore knowledge?: Embarrassing. Ready to forge a few links of my chain at the Citadel.
2. What kind of game are you hoping for with this? Intrigueand backstabbing? Brutal warfare? Journey to the unknown? Murder hobos?: A good mixture of war and intrigue, maybe a struggle against a rival house for standing and territory.
3. What style character do you think you might play?: A second or third son, a younger sibling of the current Lord maybe, called back from selling his sword in the Disputed Lands to aid his family.

 

[TheMorrigan]

1. What is your level of GoT lore knowledge?:

The show, some of the books, and the spinoff comics.

2. What kind of game are you hoping for with this?:

I suppose I’m more combat oriented. Politics I can handle, and power plays or plot twists are great in moderation.

3. What style character do you think you might play?:

A sellsword, likely a water dancer from Braavos perhaps seeking to learn more about swordsplay and making her fortune in the Westeros mainlands. Alternatively, I could be a lower noble or Hedge Knight. Or a simple lowborn priest of The Seven, or perhaps the Lord of Light.

I think thats enough to get us started- I think everyone seems like they'll fit just fine. I'll get you guys invited to the discord I set up and we can start getting things together.
