Game of Thrones RPG Review


Just got it and I will say it does its job well.  It give stats and sheets for all the NPC's and major and minor POV characters in the series. There is little to no magic and it takes the thieves world aspect of damage is really a lot more dangerous than in DND.

All characters can have "Defects" like being a bastard which give you minus in diplomacy, Marked which makes your character noticeable in a group(like being a Targaryian with silver hair), Dwarf, Dark Secret(Ex. Cerci Lannister incest), and more.  Each defect depending on how bad it is will give you bonus points but will affect your character.  Like being blind give you +9BP but your blind.

Combat for the most part is done the same way in DND.

From just playing the game for a bit you realize that this is more story and character driven than anything else.  You choose where they hail from, what house they come from(all which can give you certain buffs), your noble class

Equipment is normal for the most part, though there really aren't any magical items in this world, not to say there are not any but there is no bag of holding, ect.

Classes Go as followed
Artisan
Godsworn
Hunter
Knave
Maester
Man-At-Arms
Noble
Raider

Prestige Classes
Blood Rider
KingsGuard
Commander
Knight
Nights watch Steward
Nights watch Ranger
Spy
Water Dancer

So if any of you guys have the game tell me what you think of it.

If you enjoy Game of Thrones and enjoy DND this is a good game for you to try.
