asoiaf: King's Landing

I am currently running a game with several consist players and the adventure is leading to King's Landing.

I was given an idea of expanding the game to the daily lives of those that live and stay in the city.

The concept is a new set of players, who will create PCs that are master blacksmiths, bakers, inn owners, city watch, etc. etc. and even a cat house or two. PCs will not be heads of noble houses, or major PCs. BUT they can be hedgeknights, mercenaries, and freemen that live and stay in King's Landing for one reason or another.

Your PC can be leaders in organizations involved in the trade of goods, of the faith, provide services, or both to consumers or to other businesses, or services to nobles; the ideas can be endless.

It would be the daily interaction and mostly free forum for this group. Some rolling for the creation process and some rolls for monthly events that get played out in IC. Also the PCs from the other game would move over their characters from the other game and interact with the locals of King's Landing. GMs will reveal information that can be shared or not with the PCs that travel through or stay at King's Landing.

This is intended to add a new layer of RPing to both this new game concept and our current game. It will be a stand along game, have its on game heading and separate ICs as well as separate house rules just for its players, so PCs from the other game would be visitors and some may never even make it to interact with anyone from this game.

An example of a few ideas, when a player is looking for a new suit of armor or to repair his armor he will have to RP it with you the shop owner, or if the player wants to go to the nearest cat house he will interact with you. It will even include being an innkeeper and you can share the rumors as you see fit, even make up a few if you like and spread your own rumors.

You set the standards you control all the NPCs of your establishment you RP the fun.

So the question, .... would there be a big interest in something like this?

Re: asoiaf: King's Landing

Sorry, I wasn't trying to call a character. I was simply expressing my interest in playing in a game where it is possible to play a blacksmith instead of everyone being a super uber Knight (or other stereotype). Let me know when this game starts, I'm very interested.

Re: asoiaf: King's Landing

Concept is interesting. I'm sure there'll be some sort of story to go along with it as well.

Let me know when it starts as well. +1

Yes, this sounds fun.

Yes, mostly free forum - was thinking character creation, NO player houses, rolls only needed for combat and to influence 3rd parties or PCs. (Social simple rolls)

Players will have the freedom to be as creative as they like without changing the written history of the setting. This means that events like The Blackfyre Rebellion and major NCs deaths can not be stopped, but like most history book the details and who's who amongst the small folk are not always listed or happen they way it was written.

Re: asoiaf: King's Landing

Looking pretty good, with 3x 1+ and a maybe.

I think a solid 10 players would be a good start. There are a lot of positions that can work in a game like this.

Re: asoiaf: King's Landing

How about playing lesser nobility?

My idea is to interact this game with an existing game. The nobles and houses from around the world come to visit and you get to influence them. And interact with the nobles and houses of the Crownlands.

PCs from the other game(s) will come and visit this game. And later your PC can do the same.

ex. Master Blacksmith is hired by (player House in other game). The lord wants you to spend one year at his castle and make weapons and train his blacksmith. He pays very well and you accept (then you move your PC over to the other game)

Stuff like this is possible,  ...... its about trying to bring more real world in the PbP.

RL
I have relocated twice to improve myself & my profession. In my career its paid big. And the rest of the world goes round with or without me. My actions have improved some lives and maybe without me knowing it has taken away from others. The idea is that our actions effect everyone but we don't always see it. King's Landing is the largest most populated city in Westeros and I think the small folk have more influence on nobles daily lives then we give them credit, ...... at least until now they haven't gotten the credit :)
