I would especially like to hear of peoples experiences with Green Ronin's A Song of Ice and Fire and or their Dragon Age rpg.

I picked up A Song of Ice and Fire (my players had at the time being interested in the Game of Thrones LCG) but never got around to running it. Ultimately sold it on to help buy Pathfinder. The system seemed rather simple but nothing I would complain about. I especially liked how the house building was designed around the players working together to design it before they rolled their characters. That seemed to me to have great legs upon which to base the game.

As for Dragon Age (I haven't played the computer game) I have played once session of it and was not very impressed. It felt far too basic as a game system and I didn't like how some mechanics were handled (I forget which now as it was a good while ago). Not impressed.
 

I want to try the Dragon Age game- the complexity seems to be at the right level for me, despite what an earlier poster may have said. Basic rules are better than complex ones overall, and I like the fluff. Although its core isn't original, it takes an exhibits a form of Gygaxian naturalism, where everything seems to fit into the world in a way that makes sense. It really adds a lot to the game when everything is drawn to its natural conclusion.

The fluff is what I got from asking a thousand questions of my brother, who likes the computer game. It seems pretty cool, and I was excited to hear about the game.
