Game of Thrones: House of the Dragon!

I'm just not sure how I feel about that game.

Instead of gameofthrones-thegame.com it should be gameofthronesbutactuallyagamethistime.com

I'm trying out the d20 version of the GoT pen&paper starting next week with my d&d/a&a crew. After I run a demo of it, we're going to try the newer Green Ronin version, SoIaF. Lots of potential for roleplaying funness.

I would like to remind everyone at this juncture that we need more Jaqen gifs. What's it been, like 4, 5 posts with no gif action? Seriously?

book spoilerI hate myself for this (I like to think of myself as a purist), but I hope they find a way to not kill off "Jaqen H'ghar". He changes his face, if I remember correctly, when he and Arya part, and possibly shows up later in the books as someone else, yes? I wonder if they'll just use Tom Wlaschiha with makeup or use a different actor for the new face.

Jaqen is definitely one of the peripheral characters that I want to see more of in the show. Such a smurfing awesome character, and brilliant acting from Wlaschiha.

I don't want to be lazy so:


Deserves its own post:

I go away for a few weeks, spend a week recuperating from my stresses with friends in Scotland and return to the illustrious land of EoFF and what do I find?

I find that with my absence the males of these here good lands have been lax in their control of these mewling pre-menstrual QUIMS!

I for one will not tolerate this! No! No! It will not do!

You penis fixated wenches can go watch a billion cocks on pornhub or some other filth you shall not drag or besmirch the good name of A Game of Thrones nor derail this temple to the Gods, the new and the old beyond counting! You dare accuse a medieval fantasy fiction of sexism? I'm not above accepting it is sexist, but then what medieval fantasy setting isn't? Simply look at the very game series this entire website is dedicated to? The three times they gave a game a female main character the series promptly dived off a cliff suffering a heart attack whilst being brutally sodomized by The Hulk! Even A Final Fantasy game without sexism is terrible and yet you complain? I doubt it! Refute my points that X-2, XIII and XIII-2 are low points in the series? Ok sure we can argue about the mechanics of X-2 being amazing and some of the best but from a plot point? From a gameplay point? Dress Sphere need I say anything smurfing else? Enough of your smelly facetious mewling about sexism, get me a damn ale and be quick about it or else damn you!

And yes, this entire post is dedicated to the most pre-menstrual of them all; Shlupquack and Miriel! You want to see a penis? If you saw my penis, engorged and terrible, you would not know what to do with it, and cower in terror!

Dude, we moved past that. Why feel the need to stir up more trout?

THANKS FOR THE INPUT, ICEGLOW.



P.S. Next time you refer to someone here as "pre-menstural," I will make it my mission to upset you in various ways. That is certainly high on the list of sexist bulltrout.

I choose to subscribe to the theory that (SPOILER)he's Syrio! Mostly because I can.

Because Stannis Baratheon has Lightbringer. Because Ned Stark has Ice and because Jon Snow has Long Claw and Iceglow? Well Iceglow has his Long Throbbing Pork Surprise.

Fix'd.

Ned Stark wasn't stupid though. He was just playing chess when the game was russian pentos roulette. Anyway y'all ruined a great thread and I just wanted to talk about how great that episode was, anyone who says otherwise is a chump who doesn't understand pacing or the art of building up to a crescendo or that beautiful, perfect "See if I give one smurf" shrug Arya gave Jaqen when he said a girl has no honor.

PS. Sansa isn't remotely dumb, she's been disabused of a great many mythical notions and that's not going to be an easy thing for anyone to deal with, and she is now completely powerless but is managing to keep herself alive and hold herself together when she needs to.

[Cuchulainn]

I've never thought Sansa was dumb. She was a privileged child and thus acted like a privileged child. The normalisation started happening when the privilege was taken away. It's almost as if her stay in Kings Landing is stripping away everything she was in order for her to rebuild as a person.

I don't know why but Davos is still my favorite character, him & Stannis. I've yet to meet anyone who likes the fella as much as me, him and undefinedfrom book 5 Wyman Manderly. I was getting pretty depressed by this point of the reading & when the reveal happened with him & his intentions this joy soared in me gut. I seem to like unexpected & unlikely heroes.

[Del Murder]

I'm reading Clash of Kings right now and I think I like the pacing in the book better than the show. It's easier to do a lot of boring setup in a book than a TV show. Game of Thrones wasn't as nearly as much setup as this. One thing I am really disappointed about was that one of the best things on the show this season, Arya & Tywin's interaction, isn't in the book at all. I'm glad they made that change because the characters really worked well with each other! I like the show version of Tywin much better in general.

Agreed. She's a brat when the series starts out, but she progresses a lot. All she wants to do is go home and be safe, and she's pretty wily about how she plays herself. Of course Cersei sees through it (because Cersei used to be just like her). I actually find her story and Arya's stories the best and worst, because all they want is to be with their family.

[Freya]

BEST EPISODE EVER. Drunk Cersei was hilarious. The war drums were great. Pansy Joff and Badass Tyrion were amusing. San San But the best was that amazing firework show. And OMG (SPOILER)if I didn't know what happened i'd be pretty upset right now about Davos going boom! The San vs Bronn bit was great.

I like Shae a lot more in the show than I did in the books. I was all "Yeah no one will rape you! YOU GO GIRL" Lancel being all pansy was funny and (SPOILER)when Cersei punched him in his wound it made me laugh more than it should have. The hound was great, you could tell GRRM wrote this cause there were tons of great lines. And Stannis made sure that one guy couldn't get ahead in battle

Great stuff! I wanna watch it again!

Now for some gifs but since I have HBO and most of you are dirty pirates I'll spoiler cut these since a lot of you have yet to watch the episode BUT HOLY smurf




EXPLOSIONS!

[Marshall Banana]

Best episode of season 2 yet! =D

(SPOILER)Tyrion's nose wasn't cut off, was it? Didn't look like it. I hope it wasn't. D=

[Freya]

It didn't look like it!

Another gif because that scene was just freaking awesome
