Welcome aboard Nift! I doubt (from what I've seen) you'll be disappointed. Thanks Maester Luwin

Anyone go to Origins and get to sit in on AGoT game, or maybe see some excerpts from the DLE?

I went to Origins and played it. I saw alot of the d20 version of the book in PDF.

From what I saw of the PDF it looks awsome. I was playing on about 3 hours sleep so it all seems a little fuzzy but here is what I can remember:

I played a 5th level Maester who had 20 hit points, no armor, and only a dagger for a weapon.

When some one rolls to hit you, you roll your defense, which is a D20 + your Armor class IIRC.

Armor acts much like DR when you are hit.

There is a Shock stat, If you take more damage then your shock value in a single hit you make a Fort Save and if you fail you are basically in shock and can't act, I beleive its for a number of rounds equal to how much you failed your save by. If you take damage from a weapon that causes you to bleed you continue to lose hit points every round.

The classes in our group were a Maester, Noble, Man-at-arms, hunter, and one other that escapes me right now.

The adventure was pretty good too. I won't go into any of it here in case they run the same thing at GenCon.

That's about all I can remember. Two of the people in our group never read any of the books, but when we were done they were both eager to go get a copy when they got home.

Thanks so much for your comments Forge! A Maester huh... ? The Shock Value = 1/2 your con. Armor is counted as DR & each class has a defense bonus. Sounds cool! I can't wait for this game! Thanks Maester Luwin
