Soooo we getting another history/fantastical history game goin at one point?

[Lumine]

For what it's worth - as I discussed with Wallace - I'd certainly be willing to support a King and Country continuation as a secondary mod when the time is right.

On a personal level I'm determined to host an 1861 American Civil War game in 2021, but it will be a while before I find enough time to do so.

(I'm not sure if its just me but the disastrous end to Game of Thrones left me uninterested in further ASOIAF games, which for the past five years was the main source of fantasy games)

One day we'll get The Winds of Winter and maybe ASOIAF games will return. One day. In theory

Perhaps, but I'd be surprised if Martin's ending didn't contain some of the most important choices already shown in the series. No doubt the execution will be a million times better, but some of those outcomes - particularly the eventual monarch of Westeros - I find to be so frustrating that they give me little hope of a satisfactory outcome for the books.

Ohhhhh you mean the shows ending
I thought you meant there was a GoT game that went south

The ending was awful
But the books, particularly 2-4 are still amazing for games

Oh! No, the ASOIAF games were all brilliant. Some didn't reach an ending, but they've been among the best games on the board on account of character and narrative development as well as the usual military and intrigue shenanigans. They were also rather innovative too in terms of POV chapters as part of the game or "creative solutions" like what we did before we knew what the White Walkers actually were or the alt-history scenarios.

I'm open to either playing or hosting a new history game in the near future. I'm getting the itch again. I'm thinking something set around the turn of the century? Maybe the late 1880s, for a Scramble for Africa setting? Would there be interest?

I agree with Lumine on the point about ASOIAF games - it seems like they've run their course. Maybe it is because of oversaturation on the Boards or IRL factors, I'm not sure. But the playerbase just isn't there like it used to be. It was a fight to keep Death of the Stag going as long as I did.

If you hosted I'd certainly try to play, though I confess I'm a bit burned out on the XIX Century (for obvious reasons).

(As an aside, I have also developed a renewed interest on the Wars of the Roses, which has been raised before as a potential setting. I'd love to see something like that if anyone hosted a medieval game, or it could be an alternative to my Civil War project)

[Lumine]

1453-1455 would be an interesting setting as it's the start of the war, and one could also bring up 1470-1471 as another key Lancaster-York showdown. Have no knowledge on 1603, but it sounds interesting.

[Lumine]

Would rather like to host the projects I outlined before, but won't be able to do so yet (actually starting to suspect I may not be able to do so while I'm GM in Atlasia).
