Episode 53

The Fight continues with the Mountain and Garrick hacking at each other, Loras getting telling blows. Loras keeps getting involved and doing his flashy fighting. The Great Jon wakes up and starts fighting for real this time!
Amid the clanging and crashing Brian Telson is still assaulting the member of House Lugos’ team for reasons he will no doubt let us know when we aren’t busy. In the meantime, Thoros has gone off on one, which with a flaming sword worries us just as much as the rest of the enemies.
The Mountain has broken the rules. Can we survive it and still win? Will Garrick become legitimate? How much will we win for the bets…

Can House Grimwood survive their victory?

Episode 51

It is the day of the Grand Tourney, the house has its plans in order despite the minor curve ball thrown by the melee being EVERYONE on the field at once.

Which means everyone will face the Mountain together.

Will the Mountain kill everyone, will the Grimwood plans bear the fruit they expect or will it all go horribly wrong. Can Garrick actually do what he said he would, and take the Mountains attention so no one else has to die horribly. Did anyone from the family remember to put a bet on? Who will Garrick wink at? Will Thoros be sober enough to fight?

Episode 47

This despite what we say at the beginning this is actually episode 12 (at least we think it is anyhow).
What can I say, keeping count is difficult! In this episode House Grimwood continues with its plans to nobble the competition of the Grand Melee, and seemingly avoid any part of the actual plot…

Episode 41

Having made a splash at the Opening of the Tourney, The house Grimwood proceeds to the Kings Banquet for an evening of enjoyment and a little bit of Clegane baiting (very very carefully). But why is the representative of House Dannet drinking so heavily? Is he going to do something rash?

Episode 39

Please note that we were still trying to sort out the Microphones, so the sound is a bit… variable.

Having confirmed our Hedge knight Bryan Telson as the fifth member of our Grand Melee, and drunk Thoros of Myr under the table (and under a tent) Allyria Hill begins to make a plan involving Braavosi Whiskey and poisoning the Mountain.

Oh and Garrick makes one hell of an entrance at the start of the Tournament.

Will our plans come together, will Garrick be made legitimate, whatever will happen at the kings banquet? Only time will tell!

Episode 35

The Day of the Tourney is getting closer, and preparations are going ahead. This is the Seven Kingdoms however so preparations consist of hiring a mad drunken priest and Poisons. Irvette goes scouting for the “deal with the mountain” plan, while Garrick and Varren test out Brian Telson to see if he has what it takes to join the House Grimwood Melee team.

Episode 31

While Garrick and Irvette were out hunting the Fox Knight, Amyria and our religeous adviser decided to wander to Queen Cersei’s reception. Taking Qybyeorne the Religious Fanatic and one of the Scourge of Pyke as bodyguards they intended to mingle with the upper class ladies there attempting to network.

Of course at some point Garrick is probably going to wander into this party with a spy on a stick.

What could possibly go wrong.

Oh right… EVERYTHING

Adaptation, and Bloodied’s ramblings thereon

Tea: as this was written at work, which has the same kitchen equipment level as a Siberian gulag, no tea, just Pepsi Max, aka the mead of comedy

It has occurred to me, in my rare moments of deep thought, that there is a common thread between the two games I have GM’ed (yes, I’m counting that as a verb), beyond the obvious me. Both A Song of Ice and Fire and The Dresden Files are games that come from existing source material, and expansive source material at that. As a GM (admittedly only part-time GM in the case of Dresden Files), this creates both opportunities and obstacles, some inherent and some self-inflicted. We’ll be discussing these issues in greater detail in an upcoming podcast, featuring myself, Mawdrigen and Nyx, but I wanted to take the opportunity to write down a few of my own thoughts.

Well, that and Mawdrigen keeps telling me off for not writing more articles for the site.

Episode 27

Finally the day of the Fox hunt dawns and Garrick, Irvette, and two of the Scourge of Pyke go looking for the Fox Knight to try and either capture or kill the maniac. With a few of the other denizens of the Green Tree in the party, there is no chance of him escaping surely.

Of course before getting to that, there seems to be something strange going on in the Inn.

Episode 25

The sixth session of the Game of Thrones campaign, in this session we look into who has been trying to persuade Garrick that he is someones father, much to his annoyance. We also receive a present (which we didn’t want) and an invitation to a Fox Hunt (which we very much did!)

Episode 19

The fourth session of the Game of Thrones Peril in Kings Landing, continues (probably) to contain spoilers for that campaign. We continue heading to kings landing, but while doing so look for clues to the Fox Knights whereabouts. We not only find them, but possibly him too! Will we survive? Who knows?

Episode 18

The third session of the Game of Thrones Peril in Kings Landing, which will obviously be Spoilerriffic for that campaign. We continue on to Kings Landing finding out more about the Fox Knight, and what he has been up to. We also finally catch up to House Dannet and have a “conversation” about why they are telling people that we murdered all of their small folk.

Surprisingly the Diplomacy was somewhat left to Garrick. What could possibly go wrong.

I might have used the words “heads on spikes” far too often to actually count as diplomacy.

Still Spoilerrific for the Peril in Kings Landing campaign, so don’t listen to it if you are intending to play that campaign.

Off on their travels to Kings Landing, the scions of House Grimwood, and fully one fifth of the Scourge of Pyke their elite warriors, are heading down the Kings Road towards the capital in an attempt to sort out the succession crisis. Along the way they visit a number of taverns (much to Garricks delight), and find out that there is a mysterious bandit in the woods nearby, and House Dannet (they of the useless cows) are heading down the road ahead of them.

What will happen? Will any Ale be left in the world after Garrick is done? Will Amyria roll her eyes so hard that they pop clean out of her head?

N.B. This Podcast contains swearing, Garrick Snow, adult themes, horses, swearing, and the words “I give them the wink” far too often, as such it is Explicit.

Bloodied begins running us through Peril at Kings Landing, please be aware that these playthroughs will no doubt be full of spoilers for this campaign, so if you are intending to play it DON’T LISTEN! No… Wait.. Do listen but forget everything abut the plot (we have).

Follow the machinations of House Grimwood as we attempt to sort out our little succession crisis through diplomacy, poisoning, plotting, and pitting Westeros’ toughest man against the cream of the Kingdoms knighthood. In this episode we get to meet the characters, Garrick Snow, the not quite legitimate possible heir, Amyria Grimwood his younger half sister, Allyria Hill the adherent of the Old Gods, and Irvette Sand, Amyria’s handmaiden who certainly doesn’t have any secrets.

In this episode we meet the characters and the mission they have before them.

House Grimwood

Posted in The Witterings of Mawdrigen with tags on 5 August 2013 by Mawdrigen

As part of the preparation for the Game of Thrones game we had to create our noble house, which A Song Of Ice and Fire actually has pretty good rules for. We split the rolling up amongst ourselves, each person rolling for a separate event and making any choices they were called to make. Making house creation a collaborative action helped to get us all thinking about how we fitted together in the group.

Presented below therefore is our Noble house… House Grimwood:

Please excuse my dodgy heraldry, it is actually what we rolled up! Continue reading

The Wounds of Garrick Snow.

Posted in The Witterings of Mawdrigen with tags , on 5 August 2013 by Mawdrigen

One of the defining features of Garrick is how resilient he is and how covered in scars he is. In addition to hundreds of minor wounds Garrick Snow has taken seven blows from seven of the greatest warriors currently in the Seven kingdoms. The wounds are a big part of Garricks make up as they very much define his past, and thinking about these wounds allowed me to think a bit more about how Garrick became the person that he is.
