Random Ramblings

A short session last night saw Jeyne get into combat and Soren get into diplomacy. Surprisingly, it did not end in disaster.

And that's it for this time. Next time... more of the same, probably.

Harenhal is over, and the Riverlands, Stormlands, and Reach are all in the midst of civil wars. Soren and Lyra bring men to relieve the siege on Lord Piper of Pinkmaiden, one of Lukas' bannermen. Lukas and Kyran, meanwhile, are on a boat moving west past the southern coast of Dorne, headed for the Arbor, Oldtown, and ultimately the Iron Islands. And Jeyne, who has been waiting to show her prowess in war her whole life... is in the middle of nowhere, caged by Southrosi natives, having been captured by three different factions in a month. Because life is unfair.

So that's it for this week. Next time: more war! More plotting! More... running away from natives? Most likely.

Harrenhal is finally over, and canon has been thrown firmly and finally out the window. House Bracken is now Lord Paramount of the Riverlands, House Reidell of the Crossroads is Lord Paramount of the Reach, Rickard Reidell is Hand of the King, and Eddard Stark has taken the white of the Kingsguard.

So, what I mean to say, is no one has a clue as to what's gonna happen next. We're in uncharted waters now, for sure.

And that's it for this time! Next time, we time jump two months (theoretically) and start ever more politicking! It must be time to write more behind-the-scenes stories!

Another new short story! Yay! This one takes place during the afternoon of downtime before Robert Baratheon wakes up from his injuries.

Calamity and catastrophe! In last night's session, Our Oblivious Heroes (tm) awoke to find that the archery competition had been pushed back two days, and on the docket for the morning was the grand melee... with live steel. In a twist of fortune that no one saw coming except maybe for the Mad King, Robert Baratheon was mortally wounded by his best friend, Eddard Stark. As the Lord Paramount of the Stormlands lies on his deathbed, all thoughts turn to his likely successor... the newly-legitimized Soren.

And that's it for this week. Next week, will Robert Baratheon meet his end? Will Janus Reidell be forced to face the Crown Prince using live steel in the finals of the joust? Or will the Mad King change his mind and command the archery competition be moved up again, just at the time of greatest turbulence? There's only one way to find out! Join us next time for more Game of Tomes!

Another session, another half-day of game time. This week, Our Heroes (tm) prepared for a fancy dinner and a potentially-fatal ambush on the way to the archery competition. The scheming! The ridiculous amounts of scheming!

( Feb. 4, 2012 )

And that's it for this week! Next week: can Our Heroes (tm) actually get through a dinner uneventfully? Will they all be poisoned when they attempt to take the field tomorrow? Will Lukas actually be able to hit the target? Join us next time to find out!

Because my muse has been on overdrive lately and all my characters are stalled out in their various plots, I present to you a flashback story that takes place, as the name suggests, five months ago.

( Five Months Ago... )

I present a new story for my Game of Thrones game, another vignette that takes place after last night's session.

( A Day's Work )

Last night saw Our Heroes (tm) recruit a dozen and a half lords and knights of renown and then have dinner with Prince Rhaegar. Also, we're level 7. Yay, leveling up!

( December 17, 2011 )

And that's it for this week! Join us next time when we're back to more fighting!

Tournament day 5: second day of jousts and lots and lots of politicking. Our Heroes seem to be getting everything they want, but that can't last… Can it? (No. No it can't.)

( November 19, 2011 )

And that's it for this time! Tomorrow is a day of rest and feasting… which means it's time for plotting and scheming! Tune in next time to see how Our Heroes fare! Because in the Game of Thrones, you win or you eat table scraps.
