Couldn't you use "Dynasties & Demagogues" along with your favorite grim-n-gritty rules to model this?

No. They surely did not.
The map was nice, everything else about it was a shoehorning of the seeting into standard D&D tropes (So Stannis Baratheon was now a Paladin with the ability to Lay on Hands and everything, despite being something of a vile dastard, while Danaerys was a Sorceror, despite never having cast spells in the books....these were stock classes straight from the book).
It sucked almost from beginning to end.

The Guardinas of Order product looks like solid Gold from the previews we've seen.

LMAO @ Stannis the Paladin. Danaerys I can see being a Sorceror much sooner than Stannis the Paladin. The Paladin who loved nothing more than drinking, hunting, fighting, and fathering bastards on any whore he could get his enebriated hands on. Yeah.

That's Robert Baratheon your thinking of.
Stannis was the one who consorted with a demon summoner to slay his own brother.

Oh right you are. Yes, Stannis the Kinslayer. Right. Yeah.
Also I can't recall - did he ever end up sacrificing his son to R'hllor or whatever his name is?

It's definitely one of those backgrounds, which are not really easy to build decent campaigns on.
If you play on the same "level" as the books, you'll most probably have characters be seperated and alone for extended time periods.
Of course, one could always find a way to make adventures in the world, but catching the flavor of the books in an RPG campaign seems next to impossible to me, unless you play it on a really, really large scale (like kingdom-spanning), still the "close-ups" would either have to be shortened or it would be a boring night for some players, who are not present.
Anyways, I'm looking forward to see, what the mighty GOO is putting out.
As I heard, the game has already been confirmed by his greatness, Mr Martin.
