[QUOTE="brak1, post: 389723, member: 5390"] I also love this series (and really enjoy the card game). One of my wife's most treasured possessions is a signed 1st edition of Game of Thrones that we got from GRRM just before SoS came out. (The signature reads "To Maureen, may your winters be short and your summers be long"). 1. Jon Snow. Can't help it, just love that character. Also Davos, Tyrion, Arya, Dany and and... holy crap. Way too many cool characters in this series. 2. Also have a big hate on for Old Walder but Cerce takes the cake for me. I find nothing redeemable about her. 3. I agree with a very low magic system. I think maybe Deciphers LotR game might provide a good system, if you were to use one at all. More mood based, but with the potential for big effects (like, say, coming out of a huge bonfire unscathed or bringing people back from the dead). 4. Masterwork, yeah. I think there isn't really a big emphasis on "magic items" in the series - most magic being focused around living things. 5. I'll be interested to see if the Septons start experiencing an upsurge in their prayers being answered. The slow tendency has been for magic of all sorts to be gaining strength. I don't see any reason for the spiritual aspects to be unaffected by that trend. 6. Yeah, Daney and the slaves and the Red Wedding stick out, but I don't think I would have read the books without Bran's first chapter. The finding of the dire-wolf pups, the execution, Jon... all good and what made me keep going. I hear that FFG is making a board game as well. Really enjoyed their LotR board games, so I'm looking forward to that. Anyone heard anything else about that? I know George R. is a game fan, so maybe there will be an RPG sometime in the future... :) [/QUOTE]
