Excellent! I'd like to confirm I'll play as King Loren Lannister of the Rock.

A proposal for a map:

[Lumine]

Let the intrigues begin! (once again)

[Lumine]

Excellent, all the Kings are in place!

No objections on the Lannisters on my behalf, but I was curious, Leonardo, did you get Joy Lannister and Shiera Crakehall from the Crusader Kings 2 Mod? (Also, a minor doubt, why is Joy so old and yet unmarried?)

[Lumine]

Noted, I'm truly look forward to the game and what comes ahead!

[Lumine]

Excellent!

Two questions:

Turns will begin on a six month period (Early/Late), right? (if so, I fully agree with that)

I'd like to begin writing a POV on Casterly Rock to introduce Loren, would it be okay for me to invent the names (and some personalities) of some Lannister vassals and the Casterly Rock household?

[Lumine]

Sounds v efficient!

Nice that our first PoV was from Team Dragonstone (Original); and I enjoyed the (accidental?) allusion to the Leader of Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition in Sir Corbyn Winter of the Westerlands. (Is his keep called Discontent, ho ho...)

Funnily enough, Ser Corwyn Winter was unintended (lol), although I was toying with Shakespeare references for future chapters. Political satire is looking quite attractive as well...

Quick Q: Are you planning on making each turn last six months? That seems rather long by my reckoning...

Just my opinion, but given the context, isn't six months better for the early game? It could be less if a huge war breaks out, but due to the initial limits in characters and events, I'd say half a year makes perfect sense.

[Lumine]

A fair warning, Mauldania, no spamming.

[Lumine]

To give a recommendation, I think a Braavos, Pentos or Tyrosh player, a Dothraki Khal or someone far in th North (wildling, Night's Watch or Skagosi chieftain) could be interesting too.

[Lumine]

Mine will be up tomorrow in the afternoon! I've been a bit busy...

[Lumine]

Some of my moves will be up tomorrow.

[Lumine]

To be fair, the time period chosen was extremely challenging due to the little info we have, and Leonardo did a masterful work in making this world seem alive and fascinating at the same time (truly, the world building was excellent). With such a context placing a lot of creativity in hands of the players, an active player base is certainly crucial, and most of us have failed a bit in that sense.

If this game goes to an end I'd like to host another ASOIAF game soon (I'm interested in a remake of Clash of Kings, personally), but I'm intrigued about the "more universal appeal" idea. What did you have in mind, Leonardo?

[Lumine]

Bump? Could a Harren be found?
