While I can only add anecdotes, the stores in Toronto and Halifax resemble more what you describe than what the OP describes.

My only issue was nitpicky - Stannis was seated at the wrong place at the Painted Table. Loved the actor for Davos and Melisandre. Not as sold on Cressen, but then, I guess I don't have to be anymore. They are apparently going with the incest being much widelier known (and believed) than in...

Further down the hallway, Ser Gough and his lady exit another room. He looks at Ser Jarl, and a faint trace of contempt crosses his eyes. He snorts in derision, and then turns to leave, heading towards the great hall. Dawlyn lets her gaze dwell upon the Vantri knight for a bit longer, but it's...

I suspect one of my reasons for being so poor with my frequency of posts was this idea I had to have every post be from some particular NPC's PoV. That's going to have to end I think, although I'll try to continue where possible. The smith eyes you up, although under his gaze you feel more...

Meh... I'd probably still lose the remote.

I frequently set up potential love interests for many of my players, but I usually let the players take the lead in following through on them. Occasionally, I will poll everyone OOC to see if there's anything they want to pursue (particularly useful with the shier/more oblivious players who may...

I have two approaches: 1. The cool scene idea, like PirateCat described 2. The motivated NPC - I like having tons of NPCs running around behind the scenes, doing their own things. When stuck for a hook, I review all their goals and ask: how can they rope the PCs into helping (wittingly or not)...

Can't help you directly, but Acmite on these boards is a geologist. Not sure if he checks in here regularly anymore. You might find him as Medival Monkey on Circvs Maximvs

The same kind of people who name their kids Mario Mario and Luigi Mario.

There's an orange pie in the wheel? Damn I hate being colorblind.

No, not free (well, most aren't) But if I do something stupid because I didn't spend that money, then I'll be 'not free' in a different sense.

Two blog posts that are kind of relevant, using real world laws to discuss Batman:Knightfall and the liability of Arkham Asylum http://lawandthemultiverse.com/2012/02/20/knightfall/ http://lawandthemultiverse.com/2012/03/05/arkham-asylum-and-liability-for-private-prisons/ Doesn't really touch...

Yup. Even if completely innocent - lawyer. I've read a lot of IANAL threads, but that only makes me NAL. I want someone who actually knows what's going on.

If green and white were switched on the wheel, it'd be MtG. Disclaimer: I am colorblind, and may be misinterpreting the colors.

Game of Thrones (first edition), Ticket to Ride, Pandemic, Tikal, and Power Grid are the expected choices up for boardgame night this month. Not sure which'll win, as it depends on who amongst my group is able to show.

Not really as blunt as that, but my police officer friends more or less concur. The job of the police is to find who most likely commited the crime. The job of the prosecutor is the prove that likelihood. The job of the defense is to poke holes in that proof. The job of the judge is to wrangle...

Huh... that's interesting. I wonder if it would work reading it aloud to oneself?

Hope everything sorts itself out for you, airwalkrr. As for everyone else, is there interest in continuing? I know personally I've been slack (as a generous term) in posting updates. I can't place my finger on it, but something's not gelling for me in the game. If everyone else is still keen...

Quite possible. I've not read enough literature (fantasy or not) from that period to know if that sort of pacing was common or not.

If it never existed? Probably a wargame. If it was somehow systematically just removed from existence? ASoIaF RPG, which, truth be told, is what I'm mostly playing these days anyway.
