Who wants a throne made of ugly swords anyway? Opening recruitment for yet another pbf of Game of Thrones, as has happened times before. Expect me to screw up combat calculations a few times, and forget to remove orders from the map, but I'm told people had fun. We'll be moving back to the base game starting set-up this time around, but... The Dance with Dragons alternate version we played last time did have some interesting House Cards. I would like to use them, but I believe that just giving each house its alternate card set would drastically imbalance the game. As such, I figured it might be interesting to do a draft. All cards from both the base game, and Dance with Dragons, will be thrown into a pool, and the players will do a snake draft to build up their hand. Every player must end the draft with the standard distribution of 4-3-2-2-1-1-0. In the base game I would be worried about the first few picks grabbing the few truly overpowering cards, but I feel that in the combined pool there are enough such cards that everyone can get at least one. Note that the few cards that reference one single other card have been changed slightly (e.g.: Davos Seaworth now doesn't read "If Stannis Baratheon..."; instead it reads "If your [4] card...") I am aware that this decision might be controversial with players  . If you would like to join a vanilla game, but would be unwilling to join this set-up, then please post and mention that. If it proves too unpopular, we'll just play vanilla.Check out the first thread for my rather poor summary of the rules, if you think you might find it useful. Quick links: Rulebook Comprehensive summary and reference FAQ List of Wildling cards Contents of Westeros decks !! House card draft pool Opening recruitment for now, it will last at least two days, possibly a few more, depending on how much interest there is. This game cannot work with less than 6 players. ETB is guaranteed a slot, as reigning champion, and people who weren't in the last game will be given priority (not that I expect to be overflowing with sign-ups).

I think the draft might be rather unbalancing, but I'll give it a go. It sounds interesting. Will we know which House we are playing before the draft? And we can draft cards from any house right?

House assignments are done: ETB of house Stark SadBag of house Greyjoy von Metternich of house Baratheon phtthya-lyi of house Lannister nimby of house Martell AcceptableLoss of house Tyrell My apologies to The General, the RNG wasn't in your favour today. Next game you'll qualify as a newbie again, so you'll almost certainly get in. Drafting order: Tyrell Stark Lannister Martell Greyjoy Baratheon I will also point out that for this game I will take away the extra Footman I had given Lannister in the past. That was partially justified by Greyjoy having such massively powerful house cards, and that will (hopefully) no longer be the case. So this is the starting set-up:   Tyrell to pick a card. Here's the house card pool again (link also in the OP) https://pastebin.com/2HNrvCVx

So, just for clarity, Baratheon gets two pick twice now, then we go in reverse. Tyrell [4] Stannis Baratheon: If you are not being supported in this combat, remove all Support orders (including your own) adjacent to the embattled area, cancelling any supporting strength they may have been providing. Stark [2] Balon Greyjoy: The printed combat strength of your opponent's House card is reduced to 0. Lannister [3] Ser Loras Tyrell: If you are attacking and win this combat, move the March Order token used into the conquered area to resolve again later this round. Martell [1] Salladhor Saan: If you are being supported in this combat, the combat strength of all Ships not your own is reduced to 0. Greyjoy [3] Victarion Greyjoy: If you are attacking, all of your participating Ships (including supporting own Ships) add +2 to combat strength instead of +1. Baratheon

Pththya-lyi posted:I didn't even think of the Reek thing, but yeah that would be kind of OP. AcceptableLoss informed me of the combo. I didn't see it either but if you've got a doomstack you can at the very least move it with your +1 three times in one round if you don't mind losing 2 other battles with your marches. More if you get attacked and don't mind losing!

But yeah, Loras is the only card in the game that lets an army move more than one space. Being able to do it repeatedly would be terrifying.
