(thread re-made because it was in the wrong forum. Sorry for the spam folks) Who wants a throne made of ugly swords anyway?  Opening recruitment for a new pbf of Game of Thrones, as we did a few 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. This time around we will be using the Dance with Dragons expansion. It comes with a crazy start situation:  and even crazier House Cards. Because of the advanced start, the game also only lasts a maximum of six turns. 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 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. Pththya-lyi is guaranteed a slot, as reigning champion, and people who weren't in the last game will be given priority.

Thanks for running these, Dancer. I guess I'm in. It wouldn't be sporting not to give everyone a chance to get beat again.  (Mods make a smug direwolf, thx.)

Sign me up. I watched the whole of the last game and thought it was glorious. Never done this Dance of Dragons version before, but I'll try my hand at driving an ancient noble lineage to complete ruin over the course of six turns.

Hey friends, I'm afraid it's looking like this game won't happen for now. I've posted enough in the thread and Discord that I don't want to harass people with more advertising. I will of course keep the thread open, and if we do get a 6th player then we're off to the races, but if it doesn't work out I'll make sure to keep all of you in mind and message you in a month or two when I try again.

 The game may begin!KhediveRex, from your phrasing I'm assuming you haven't actually played this before. I made an attempt to summarize the rules somewhere on the first page of the first thread, though in hindsight I don't consider that I've done a particularly good job. There is also a fairly good, albeit not complete, tutorial video here. I think my recommendation would be watch that video to get a grasp of mechanics, then glance through either my summary or the rulebook to try to fill gaps. You are of course free to also ask me any questions via Discord. Speaking of, by the grace of the mods, we have again been granted a separate channel on the Discord. For the new people, here's an invite if you need it https://discord.gg/DWnexP3 ; I'm sure we'll be conducting deep diplomatic conversations in the channel we've been given. Discord is also what you will need to send me your orders and House card decisions. House assignments: The General - Stark (actually Bolton in this version... expect me to screw this up a lot  )nimby - Baratheon ETB - Greyjoy Pththya-lyi - Martell Acceptableloss - Lannister KhediveRex - Tyrell Turn 1 may begin!  Note: Be mindful of the two unique garrisons: Baratheon has a strength 4 garrison at Storm's End, and Tyrell strength 3 at Oldtown. Also be mindful that we only play 6 turns, not the normal 10. Everyone has 5 PTs to start with, as per the normal game. Available house cards: House Bolton: [4] Roose Bolton: 1 Sword [3] Ramsay Bolton: If your "Reek" house card is still in your hand, this card gains +1 combat strength and three sword icons. [2] Black Walder: 1 Sword [2] Steelshanks Walton: 1 Fortification [1] Walder Frey: Any player (other than your opponent) who grants support to your opponent must grant that support to you instead. [1] Damon Dance-For-Me: 1 Sword [0] Reek: If your "Ramsay Bolton" House card is in your discard pile, immediately return it to your hand. If you lose this combat, you may return Reek to your hand. House Lannister [4] Ser Jaime Lannister: 1 Sword, 1 Fortification [3] Ser Kevan Lannister: 1 Fortification [2] Daven Lannister: 1 Sword [2] Ser Ilyn Payne: If you win this combat, you may destroy one of your opponent's Footmen in any area (in addition to normal casualties). If that unit is the last unit in its area, remove any Order token there as well. [1] Cersei Lannister: 1 Fortification [1] Ser Adam Marbrand: If you are attacking, all of your participating Knights (including supporting Lannister Knights) add +3 combat strength instead of +2. [0] Qyburn: You may discard two of your available Power Tokens to choose a House card in any player's discard pile. Qyburn gains the printed combat strength and combat icons of that card, ignoring its text ability. House Baratheon: [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. [3] Jon Snow: If you win this combat, you may decrease or increase the Wildling track by one space (to a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 10). [2] Melisandre: After combat, you may return any House card in your discard pile (including this card) to your hand by discarding a number of your available Power Tokens equal to the printed combat strength of that card. [2] Bastard of Nightsong: 1 Fortification [1] Ser Davos Seaworth: 1 Sword, 1 Fortification [1] Ser Axell Florent: 1 Sword [0] Mance Rayder: Your final combat strength is equal to the current position of the Wildling Threat token. House Greyjoy: [4] Euron Crow's Eye: If your opponent has a higher position on the Fiefdoms Influence track than you, this card gains +1 combat strength. [3] Victarion Greyjoy: 2 Swords [2] Asha Greyjoy: 1 Fortification [2] Rodrik the Reader: If you win this combat, you may search and Westeros deck for a card of your choice. Shuffle the remaining cards and place the chosen card facedown on top of the deck. [1] Qarl the Maid: If you are attacking and lose this combat, gain three Power Tokens. [1] Ser Harras Harlaw: 1 Sword [0] Aeron Damphair: You may discard and number of your available Power Tokens to increase the combat strength of this card by the number of Power Tokens discarded. House Tyrell: [4] Mace Tyrell: 1 Sword, 1 Fortification [3] Randyll Tarly: 2 Swords [2] Willas Tyrell: 1 Fortification [2] Ser Jon Fossoway: 1 Sword [1] Paxter Redwyne: If the embattled area is a sea area, all of your participating ships (including supporting Tyrell ships) add +2 combat strength instead of +1. [1] Queen of Thorns: Ignore all text abilities printed on your opponent's House Card [0] Margaery Tyrell: If you are defending your home area, or an area that contains one of your Power Tokens, your opponent's final combat strength is 2. House Martell [4] Doran Martell: For each House Card in your hand, this card gains a Fortification icon and a Sword icon, and suffers a -1 penalty to combat strength (to a minimum of 0) [3] Areo Hotah: 2 Fortifications [2] Bastard of Godsgrace: 1 Fortification [2] Big Man: 1 Sword [1] Ser Gerris Drinkwater: If you win this combat, you may move one position higher on one influence track of your choice [1] Quentyn Martell: For each House card in your discard pile, this card gains +1 combat strength [0] Nymeria Sand: 1 Sword, 1 Fortification Dancer fucked around with this message at 13:56 on May 1, 2018 |

One important note. I will change my ways slightly and suggest that you point out if you want to leave a power token behind to establish control. If you say nothing, I assume you are leaving one behind, but you should probably say it just to be sure. Tyrell is actually not leaving a PT this time (confirmed via PM). Strength 9 vs. 6 Tyrell plays: [2] Ser Jon Fossoway: 1 Sword Baratheon plays: [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. Final strength 5 vs. 10. Baratheon victory. The Tyrell units retreat and are routed. Greyjoy to play

Bolton plays: [1] Walder Frey: Any player (other than your opponent) who grants support to your opponent must grant that support to you instead. Greyjoy plays: [2] Rodrik the Reader: If you win this combat, you may search and Westeros deck for a card of your choice. Shuffle the remaining cards and place the chosen card facedown on top of the deck. Greyjoy activates the blade. Final strength 5 vs. 5. Greyjoy victory. The Bolton knight retreats. Grejoy activates the card effect to shuffle through the Westeros 1 deck, and chooses the card to go on top. Baratheon to play.
