a game of thrones

has anyone one played the board game, card game or table top game for this?

I've played the boardgame, which is a tad unbalanced.  Some of the cards are out of whack with the people in the book, but overall it is good and has excellent replayability.

I think James is inviting us over to play. :)  Works best with all five houses represented, IIRC.

hey james anytime you wanna play let me know. you should have my number but if you dont pm and ill give it to you. any weekend is good for me, just give me a few days heads up. what 5 major houses do they have? targaeryan, stark, lannister, martell, and .....? im guessing tyrell or tully or maybe the lame greyjoys. but yeah let me know

I playing the Starks damnit! I'll bring Terry with me too!

I have the rulebook on disk...you want a copy? has nice artwork in it.

I want in on some of this action.

Might need to borrow a deck though.

o no mary beth...we'll draw straws for the for the starks..because really they are clearly the best.

Winter is Coming!

Wait - is that the Terry who used to play KR? :)

he didn't just play KR, he LIVED KR.

I heard this one time he went to work in his full Tellinghast regalia to see if he could "prosecute" his way to getting some free soda.

After they called the cops he was never the same, started mumbling about alternate realities, and how no one could recognize greatness when it was right in front of them, and shit like that.  Now he just walks around in a kilt talking about Highlanders and some moron named Turin who is stuck on a boat somewhere.

Like I said... crazy.

dont you derail my thread you bastard!!!

If someone wants to run a session at DEXCON, that might get everyone in the same spot at the same time...  I'll check to see if it's come up at prior cons.

You know I cannot make DexCon :)

Maybe Dreamation?

"...you know nothing Jon Snow."

Jon Snow certainly kows nothing.

A small bit of thread necromancy, but the orignal topic for this was lost some time ago.  Game of Thrones comes to HBO.

The article can be found here.

Peter Dinklage is supposedly set to star as the Queen's brother.

hahah i wonder which brother

I hope it is a long series and does the series justice.  Speaking of which, I'm not getting any younger and would like it to be finished before I am.

Earlier this year HBO ordered a pilot for the show, and the plans are that each season will be one of the novels.  Unfortunately, that means GRRM needs to get off his keister and finish the last 3 books within the next 4-5 years.  Good luck with that.

while that may be true your negativity is bringing this thread down. so GET OUT!

OH I am SO IN.
DEX CON!!!!!!

BTW, A Dance with Dragons comes out Sept. 29th!!!!!!
(For those like me who stopped looking a while ago)

The problem is its been so long since the last one, I have to read them over.  IIRC, I read the last book on our trip to Brno in November/December 05.

Yeah, I jsut reread them with a hopeful heart during my pregnancy time-off. Unfortunately, my memory is so short for books and movies that I think I'm going to have to reread them again starting in the beginning of September.

HBO has been posting production stills and pictures of the show... see them here.

New video...



You might need tissues, I know I did.
