[QUOTE="Maester Luwin, post: 2541717, member: 23259"] Hey everyone! This is a recap of my first session using the rules from Guardians' AGoT RPG. First of all I would like to thank Guardians for this awsome game! The rules make it easy for you to truely capture the atmosphere of the books. Both my players & I really had a great time! Some background for the campaign as folows. It is set a hundred years before the books themselves around year 195. It is set in the North & I will be using a noble house style campaign. The players will be either members of House Stark or House Karstark. Campaign overview below: The Game of Thrones Campaign Dramatis Personae Rickon Karstark the younger of two bothers & Master of the Hunt of his father’s house Karhold; Helga a wildling from north of the wall now servant at Karhold & mother of the bastard Jasson Snow; Donnel of Long Lake man-at-arms of Lord Willam Stark’s household & protector of Artos; Quelion Woolfield a scholar of the Citadel & trained Maester / healer (tutor of young Jasson Snow); Septon Heward godsworn of the Seven & outcast of the Old faith; Jasson Snow only a boy of eleven/ bastard son of Helga & Artos Stark – ward of Lord Karlon; Alton Motley acrobat, juggler, & mummer known as the fool of Karhold; Artos Stark known as “The Implacable” & brother of Willam Lord of Winterfell- recently come to check on his son & rumors of unrest beyond the Wall; Nymeros Martell Dornish prince/ hostage of Lord Willam & ward of Lord Karlon- something of a Knave; House Karstark Lord Karlon Lord of Karhold – known as the “Old Bear”; Lady Nera of House Flint, wife of Karlon, & only supporter of Septon Heward; Karl Karstark heir to Karhold & brother to Rickon; Alanna Umber wife of Karl & known as a great huntswoman in her own right- strong supporter of the Old Faith; Jarana Karstark eldest daughter of Karl & Alanna (age 7); Kerena Karstark youngest daughter of Karl & Alanna (age 3); Miles Tallheart Steward of Karhold; Daron Longhand Master-At-Arms & trusted retainer; The Guardsmen Mull, Daron the Younger, Ballen, Mark of Last Hearth, Robin, Jayce, Little William, Tomas, Harwin, & Varly; The Huntsmen Daveth, Jory, & Perran the Elder; Maylwyn smith & armorer; Hallen the cook; Janna Hallen’s wife, cook, & at times mid-wife; Goodwin Master of horse; The Stable boys Timlin & Harold; The Servants Emma & Bruhilda (“Hilda”); The year is 195 & Daeron II sits upon the Iron Throne. To the North ,beyond the wall, Raymun Redbeard gathers the Wildlings under his banner as King Beyond The Wall. To the South Daemon Blackfyre gathers followers to contest Daeron’s right to rule. The Greyjoys continue to raid the western coast in their longships. House Martell & Dorne remains uneasy allies even though a Dornish queen shares the throne at Kingslanding. The Houses, both great & small, must now maneuver for their best place in the upcoming Game Of Thrones! A game where the stakes are high & to lose means death! The first nine were Pc choices (basically one for each of the core classes in the game plus Jasson Snow who is a special case as a child Pc). I have six players & the following Pc's were chosen: Artos, Helga, Donnel, Rickon, Septon Heward, & Jasson Snow. The campaign opens with Artos being charged by his brother, Lord Willam Stark to discover if Raymun Redbeard is indeed a threat to Winterfell & the North. Donnel & Artos are at Winterfell awaiting Rickon & the others coming from Karhold.

The Blood Raven, through Butterwell, has asked for a tourney in honor of the Hand's visit. Ser Brynden really wants to see the mettle of Lord Willam's fighting men & by having a tourney they come to him not the other way around. Lord Willam may not like it but has to agree (rules of hospitality in all). The next post will cover the first session/ part one (which will be broken into several parts because it is very long).
