This is my fourth one I've OPed. I have to give credit to Franciona though, he inspired me to make this series of RPs, hell I fucking copied his OP formula and my titles for IC post.

It all started when I did my very first GoT RP (and very first forum RP) which Franc made, Franc did a RR RP where I played Howland Reed. It was pretty fun for how short it lasted, got really stupid with what the Martell player did.

Second was also Franc but a WOTFK which I really had fun playing Aegon VI. Didn't last long though, however it inspired to start my own series.

My very first attempt was Century of Blood, set a year or two before Aegon's Conquest. However it did not get much attention, so I created A Feast For Crows. Which in a sense, was a successor to France's WOTFK RP. People like Warg and Eraus were allowed to carry over their houses and characters they made for Franc's.

AFFC was and still is my biggest RP, having the most posts and views of any of my RPs. However, I started to grow uninspired and thus I ended it prematurely. So, I decided that with the attention this RP got I could attempt Century of Blood.

ACOB was fairly successful, as I allowed more custom characters due to the lack of knowledge of the characters of that time. It has some of more favorite posts as I enjoyed writing Aegon and my first custom character, Aenar.

After that, like all my RPs I run a poll for which part they want next. Blackfyre Rebellion won, and thus A King Who Bore The Sword was created.

Probably the smallest GoT RP I've made, we only had a few players but the action was pretty intense and the fighting was fun. However, it died out slowly and thus I realized that RPs set during the books/show are more successful than prequels. (Not counting RPs set after the series which seem to be REALLY successful.)

The poll ended up with this current RP winning, and now we're here.


Besides my own RPs and Franc's there's only been one other GoT RP I've been in, and that's Kernan's King's Landing RP. A more contained RP, set during the Mad King's reign it was a fairly fun RP. Due to it being set only in KL characters had a lot of interaction, and it had my favorite custom character I've made, Aegor Blackfyre. My good friend, Altegonnia and I had a great time even though I thought Aerys was written very poorly.

All in all, I've gone back and read some old GoT RPS, most of them made by Nuxipal and they are all pretty interesting. Even though most follow the whole "Post Dany Conquest" scenario I'm sick of seeing. If I ever make a post series RP, I will definitely spice things up.

I'm proud in my RPs and I love making this series. I'm glad so many people have enjoyed them, and Feast for Crows is still my magnum opus which I hope I can beat one day.

I'm flattered :p
I'm not a fantastic OP, last year was a tough one and I probably was at fault for alot of those RPs dying.
However, I actually am really enjoying this RP, and I think it has some of the best quality of posts I have seen, very few, if any, have been unsatisfactory in my opinion. The vast majority are quite a pleasure to read.

Also, how long would you all estimate sailing to King's Landing from Sunspear would take? Just wondering when Arriane would arrive in the Capital.

Edit: Today is my last day of classes until the exam period, so Ill be able to post more often.

I've never watched game of thrones before or know too much about it, however I understand the basic themes and stuff. Is it worth me getting into this RP or is it very lore based??

A minor lord. Basically, someone that isnt from a major house, or a main character.
You can also choose the path of that other guy whose name i forgot, and be a bandit or something.

Hello there! As far as I am aware all the great houses are taken, so there is no house that is particularly needed at all so no pressure on that regard.

Going over it now we have:
Starks
-Boltons
-Manderlys
-Karstarks
-Blacklockes
-Brudes

Tullys
-Novakais

Tyrells
-Hightowers

Arryns

Lannisters
-Cleganes
-Branwells

Baratheons of Storm's End
-Dondarrions
-Casters

Baratheons of King's Landing
-Martharts
-Elmharts

Martells

Greyjoys

So as you can see some areas are busier than others. This also applies to Oceania and South Mauristan actually. You are free to use custom or canon houses under any of these, you might favour someone busy for more opportunities to write as they can be more eventful, or somewhere less so for more interaction with your liege. You might just want to play an even smaller knightly house and be in service to any of the houses lifted.

Also for plays I have been in, my first was a post-canon story where Jon and Dany ruled together but were then killed with their son in as a puppet of the Tyrells. I played Rickon Stark as Lord of Winterfell, the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, and Edric Storm as part of the Kingsguard. They can be fun, but sometimes I find that the history gets a bit messy. The OP in this instance let each player just decide what their particular house did in the canon.

Then it was a Dance of Dragons play and I was Queen Rhaenyra but I think that died quick. I would agree that the historical ones don't do as well, and to be honest I don't think that I enjoy them as much. Course I never got to join your Blackfyre one, maybe I would have liked that. After that I tried a play set around point of the Winds of Winter in the books, as the Starks again, but that died quick too as the OP pressed too heavily for a certain storyline developing and shut down most options to write something interesting. One that never got off the ground was one where I was going to be Stannis as King but otherwise that is it, bar my favourite.

My favourite that I have done was by Arnoria and it was more faction-oriented than character as it had each of us playing as house, being given so much wealth, and having to use that wealth to buy armies, buildings, etc. You got and lost money for winning battles and sieges also. The OP had a good amount of factions to make it interesting, and the writing in general was high quality. The OP put in a lot of effort and it is where I get the format for my posts from now. That was set during the WotFK, with me as the Tyrells and later also the Martells to fill a gap. The playerbase was never that large though and it died, it probably only had half the posts our one does now in double the time.

As far as I am aware I have yet to be in any of Franc's plays and this is the first of yours, Val. I am enjoying it a lot so far and it is certainly the most popular one I have seen. First time writing the Baratheons too but I am liking it.

Hmmm, maybe she will make it before Robert's death. If not she may have to harbour in Dragonstone, as I feel like Stannis would not let the Heir to Dorne travel to the Capital of his enemy, and with his fleet patrolling the Gullet...

Not much has happened in the neck, aside from some stuff with a minor house.
And if you go greyjoy vassal and don't be the harlaws, I will kill you.
The harlaws are awesome.

Still though, the riverlands needs more players. So join, if you feel like it?

I have not determined if R+L=J will be a part of this RP. Honestly, it doesn't matter since Jon is at the Wall.

Unless the very specific set of occurences which did happen in the canon play out again then I doubt R+L=J will even need to be relevant. Also if Ned is alive anyway then the significance of Howland is rather negated. The Reeds are interesting anyway, course.

Also, Val, TGed you and waiting on a response.

Umber, Glover, Reed, Harlaw, Saltcliffe, Goodbrother are all options that I like.

It will be pretty relaxed playing as the Reeds generally. So I might do that.

Glover, Umber and Reed feel more right.

Glovers have a big chunk of land.
Reeds are the gatekeepers of the north.
I just kinda like the umbers.
