I'm waist high in pig shit and begging for my life, and the worst thing Emma's had to deal with so far is a bad batch of wine that your DMPC CONVENIENTLY managed to save her from. I'm fucking tired of it. Fuck you, George. Just because you're fucking Emma doesn't mean you have to fuck us, too.

I don't even know what's going on, but I'm loling like crazy

My interest. You have it.

>>15357232
You could think of it like a game of WFRP if you wanted. Everyone gets a certain amount of character points, ergo, they will, on average, make it through a determinate amount of shit. And then at some point, the don't.

Good old Ned ran out. He might have had no more than about 2 or 3 at the start of the campaign, and just generally used up his luck.

Likewise, certain other characters like the aforementioned 8 year old ninja, have rather a lot, and have not used anything like all of them.

One can also get more, but you don't really get them all the time.

Clearly, Danny's shenanigans, while foolish, where foolish in the right way to earn her a steady supply, and generally keep her moving against all logic.

If you prefer, I believe Riddle of Steel has something involving spiritual virtues that aide you in doing unlikely things for being in character. That could reasonably explain the narrative logic in game rules too.

>>15357920
Robert and Ned used up all their saves fighting in the war.

I'm currently in the planning stages of running a 'Delta Green' style game in a high lethality system that we use that covers the Greyjoy rebellions. We're going to be taking the Cthulhu references in house Greyjoy and just running with them. But we won't tell the PC's beforehand, just that it's a Westeros game. Then it'll be 'suddenly, Deep Ones!'

>>15357232
oh god thats great

>Sean: Okay, since my characters unfortunate death, I'm going to be running this next adventure. George, you can play the Mongol boyfriend.
>George: Okay, I guess that's cool. Just try not to mess u..
>Sean: Roll a fortitude save.
>George: Natural 20, and my +9 bonu..
>Sean: Your character dies.
>Emma: No! You can't kill my Mongol Boyfriend! I love him so much and he gave me a white horse and killed my evil brother without breaking his own strange code of honor and he's going to march on Kings Landing just like George said he would and kill all your characters and give me the throne!
>Sean: Okay, okay. The witch lady can save him. You just have to go against everything he stands for. Oh, and you're going into labor.
>Pete: Sean, I think you may be going too far.
>Sean: Fuck you, Pete. Stay out of this.
>Sean: No reason to get short with me.

No. No, you are not.

It would work too well.

>Sean: All right, so your mongol boyfriend is dead and the witch is reviving him.
>Emma: Yay! Now we can conquer the world together. He's unbeatable, you know, and he's got an entire horde of mongols! We're going to win back the throne I lost as a child! I can't wait to see him. I'm going to go see how it's going.
>Sean: Right, right. Make me a fortitude save as you enter.
>Emma: Why?
>Sean: No worries. Seems you fail. You go into labor. The witch comes over and helps you deliver. The child is stillborn.
>Emma:What? No! Me and my mongol boyfriend had such plans for him and I totally ate a horse heart and everything--
>Sean: The witch informs you that you had to trade a life for a life. Your Mongol Boyfriend is alive. Would you like to speak to him?
>Emma: Of course. We've lost our child but--
>Sean: He drools on you. He can't speak. You see, the witch rolled a natural one on her heal check---
>George: That's not how that works!
>Sean: And I just lost two characters. Look? See. I rolled. 1.
>George: You're making her cry!
>Sean: You know what can't cry? My character's severed head. Rocks fall, everyone dies.
>Emma: I'm going to run into my Mongol Boyfriend's funeral pyre! I can't live without him!
>George:....with your possessions, right?
>Sean: What does it matter? She wants to die, let her die. You and everything on your sheet start to burn.
>George: Her dragon eggs hatch.
>Sean: What?
>George: It's right there on page 420 of the Draconomicon. It's how you hatch them. Extreme heat.
>Sean: -flips table- THAT'S IT, CAMPAIGN OVER.

>>15359195
I'm actually sympathizing with Sean here.

>>15359195

>>15359139
I vouch for that.

>>15359195
Meh, doesn't matter.
She should still burn to death. Then the charred remains are eaten by baby dragons.
The Dothraki then kill the dragons, because fuck you, lady.

You missed the part with the guy who wanted to play a little kid with prophetic powers, then the DM told him that his character fell off a tower and was crippled. Then the player took the leadership feat so he could have a retard to ride around on.

OP, here. Wow, I didn't think this thread would stay up.

Anyway, I'd LOVE to do a DM of the Rings-style comic, but I have the photoshopping and artistic abilities of a dry slug. If I were to do it, it would have to be a joint effort with someone who can capture the screens, do the lettering and formatting and stuff. I could do the script though.

>>15361583

Alas, I wish my photoshop skills were up to this. I'd love to help, but I'm afraid I don't have the chops.

>>15361583
Capture the Screens, and I can do it.

>>15361610

(OP here, tripfagging so I don't have to keep linking to my previous posts)

Great. If I write the scripts, and someone captures the screens, then we're set.

>>15361631

And I shall read them whilst making harsh criticisms that are rude and entirerly uncalled for.
I believe we have a plan.

>>15361653

Excellent plan! I'll get working on the first script. I'll post it later on.

>>15361631
Youshould probably write a few pages, just so the eople who can capture the scenes have something to work with.

>>15361671

If you would like someone to edit scripts, I'd be happy to do so. I've edited a few books before, and I'd be happy to do this.

PC: WHAT THE -
PC: BUT YOU -
DM: NO CASTERS. There's no magic at the beginning of the campaign.

>>15361766
(makes excited squealing noise)

sorry. I fully support this.

>>15361766
Your PCs need to have more distinct personalities than that. You should establish their differences and key traits in the opening scene, if possible, as well as their relationship to the GM. They all sound essentially interchangeable here; there's not a lot of opportunity to play off one another if they're not distinct enough.

>>15361766

First of all, I giggled. This sort of reminds me of when I tried to run D&D in high school.

So do you want to write it where everyone is oblivious and just causing frustration, or do you want to include one or two characters who might be actually have read that sixty page monstrosity?

>>15361808

Precisely. One of the reasons that Darth and Droids works so well as a comic is that you have some very different personalities. Jim and Ben start off as power-gaming PCs, but they quickly branch off. Ben starts getting into roleplaying, Pete takes the idea of the grognard, Sally's just there because she's dragged along, and Annie is there for all the deep roleplaying.

Characterization outside of the characters is essential.

>>15361766
First of all, pic related.

Second, when it comes to Sean cutting the guy's head off, he has to be really gung ho about it. In fact, he has the power to pardon the guy (knows something about the WWalkers? temporary insanity?), and his kids each give good arguments as to why the guy should be allowed to live.

Then he beheads the dude anyway (for the xp?), which will come and bite him in the ass later when Joff has HIM beheaded for much the same reason and under similar circumstances.

>George (With a smug grin): Okay, there's going to be a lot of mystery here. Some things that you guys won't know until the very end. I'll hint at it, unless you play right, you'll never find out. It's all background stuff, really, nothing game changing.

>George: FUCK.

rolled 35987 = 35987

>>15361766

So the PCs are Peter (Tyrion/ Theon) Sean ( Ned/ Robb/ Jon Snow?), Emma (Dany/ Dany/ Dany ... Brienne?)

Ok so we have to figure out how to differentiate our characters a bit.

Ned should be the straight man, probably not all that into the game or the system

Jamie is That Guy. Fetishy powerplayer. He built the most effective fighter he could and fucks his sister.

Tyrion is the roleplayer, but he's also a dick with no respect for the setting. He purposely made a bad character but pulls it off with pure panache.

Lets have Viceryis be the PC, not the sister. He can switch to her after the DM gets fed up with his shit and he blows a Diplomacy roll with the Dothraki. He's a powerplayer as well, but an ineffective one. He skimmed the background and immediately tried to get into the "most powerful" house, not realizing that they were overthrown in the last few pages.

>>15361868

Oh, Emma'd also play Sansa. A character who takes nothing useful.

>>15361808

Remember at this point, the reader hasn't seen the characters' faces, so they don't need to be distinct yet.

[Screenshot of Eddard Stark grinning.]
DM: Okay, Sean made a noble. “Eddard Stark.” Looks okay, although you've got “Lawful Good” as your alignment.
Sean: Is that a problem?
DM: … No.
Sean: What was that pause for?
DM: Nothing.
[Screenshot of Jon Snow, looking slack-jawed as always.]
Kit: I'll be Sean's son. Are fighters alright?
DM: Yes, but it says here your INT is 6.
Kit: It IS my dump stat. Oh, and I took the [Flaw: Bastard] thing you made, so I could take Exotic Weapon Proficiency: Bastard Sword. Because I'm a bastard.
DM: … In retrospect, INT 6 is perfect for you.
[Screenshot of Jaime Lannister, looking smug.]
DM: Nick, it looks like you're playing another nobleman. Lawful Evil? Perfect.
Nick: I'm a part of House Lannister.
DM: Oh, you read the background?
Nick: They're the richest.
[Screenshot of Tyrion]
DM: Okay, so Sean is playing a nobleman, Kit is playing his bastard son, and Nick is playing a member of a rival house. Pete, what did you roll up?
Pete: I'm a dwarf.
DM: Uh... Pete, I said this was going to be a REALISTIC campaign, remember?
Pete: I want to be a dwarf.
DM: But you ALWAYS play dwarves. It's getting -
Pete: Alright, I'll be a human. A really short human. Oh, and I've maxed out my INT and CHA.
DM: Ugh. Whatever. Just pick a house.
Pete: I'll be a part of Nick's.
[Screenshot of Jaime.]
Nick: Small world.

Peter needs to constantly make vague "small" or "short" related jokes.

I think if you are going to make this, rather than following the show scene by scene, what if you cut out all the Dothraki segments and did them all together, and the same for the King's Landing segments, and Jon Snow on the Wall segments. Or at least put them together into larger chunks to move between.

That way you aren't jumping around so much.

>>15361859

This can even be a running gag, have his decree against the Gregor Clegane go the same way (he was helmed and had no banner, thus a posotive identification was not reached), that kind of thing.

Also, some inspiration:

>Nick: Small world.

Fuck you I choked on my drink.

Bravo sir.

>>15361907

I was actually thinking about completely neglecting the Wall and Vaes Dothrak, with Kit complaining about how he doesn't get enough roleplay time and Emilia making aside comments.

Kit's the roleplayer, Emilia's the DM's girlfriend, Pete is the munchkin, Nick is THAT GUY and Sean is the one who just wants to play the game. Maisie can be the newb.

>>15361901

Okay, I can see that. Please, whoever takes these screencaps, please, please please, use some of those glorious reaction images that GoT gave us.

>>15361914
I've had a change of heart. There only need to be two PCs, Tyrion and Braun. The entire comic will be following their shenanigans.

>>15361931
>Braun

>>15361925
>Munchkin
>Int and Cha maxed

>>15361944
Whatever I can't remember how to spell his name so I guessed.

maybe someone here could explain to me why the guards sworn to protect the throne and the king do jack squat while the queen commits high treason...

She just takes the order from the late king, reads it and rips it, and the incompetent royal guard just fucking stand there and doesn't question it until after she's gone through with her little revolution. WTF is going on here?

>>15361877
>bad character
Who are you kidding?
The Dwarf is probably one of the best characters in the entire series.

eh, i dont think GOT would work as a DM of the rings kinda deal, first off theres like what, 20 important characters? (almost all of them would have to be PCs). Theres never more than like 4 of them in any one place at one time. Some characters will never meet each other, ect.

It COULD be done, but it would be ambitious as fuck tho.

On the other hand you could just have people play the more awesome characters, Ned, Tyrion, Bronn, Littlfinger, the spider, Arya, and Syrio Forel. Wouldnt be a long campagin, but due to death rates everyone would end up with like four characters anyway...

>>15361954
He made a CONCEPTUALLY bad character, but then is fucking awesome with it.

Please don't tell me that you could sit down to a gritty semi-fantasy game with a sarcastic little person for your character and no one would bat an eye.

>>15361949

He was going to play a caster, remember?

>>15361953
They were bribed
No one in Game of Thrones has any honor or integrity except maybe Ned, and we all saw where that got him.

>>15361972
>Everyone in House Stark
>No honor/integrity
>Brienne
>Late Jamie
>Late Bloodhound
>Tyrion
You, son, are a retard.

>>15361953
They are only loyalty to whoever signs their checks. Littlefinger pays them. He specifically paid them to betray Ned.

Hence his whole, "I told you not to trust me" comment.

>>15361953
She is the person of highest authority in the room.
Her son is the current heir to the throne.
The former Hand walks in and claims the throne.
Between the Hand and the Queen, shit's just an arguement, no one has real authority.
The person who pays them all said side with the queen.
BAM.
They side with the queen.

>gritty semi-fantasy and no one would bat an eye
But they don't.
They treat him like shit.

>>15361877
I like that but there should be at least one character who likes the setting. also I'm not sure if the majority of the group should be powergamers.
I do like jaime being a powergamer and slowly learning to be a better person in character and out.

All of this should be superseded by ops wishes of course. Our involvement is purely superficially unless he states otherwise.Also I figured that op was just opening the game up and defining the characters in the next couple of pages since they would describe their characters.

>>15361959

You have to find out who the main character in every situation is. Jaime, Eddard, Dany, Jon, Tyrion and Arya are pretty much all at the center of the action in every situation, except when one is incapacitated somehow - and then another character (like Catelyn or Robb) becomes the focus.

>>15361877
>Jamie
>That Guy
You have only seen the TV Show haven't you?

>>15361954
bad statistically. not bad character wise.

>>15361996
Darths and Droids started with two powergamers as the entire party.

A lot of the interplay between the characters comes from the DM trying to maintain his setting and his players being jerks.

>>15362004
Actually you are right.

Joffery would be That Guy.

>>15362023
>Joffery
Are you that Braun guy?

>>15362004
Even in the books, until the third book he's pure That Guy. It's not until then that he starts to become something more than an egotistical prick.

>>15362004

I'm actually a huge fan of the books. But since the show is the basis for the comic, and Jaime is portrayed as an asshole in the show, he'll be THAT GUY for now. Later, he can get better as the show goes on.

>>15361996

I think that Sean and Kit would be the ones most interested in the setting. They're the ones who consistently try to make things better or move the plot along, when everyone else is just having whore and gold parties or seeking revenge for personal slights.

Okay, if you ARE going with Sean being the real role player, it has to be a in-joke that his characters ALWAYS die.

>Somebody: Remember that modern spy campaign where you turned evil? (Goldeneye)
>Sean: yeah but-
>Somebody Else: Remember the last fantasy game we did? (LotR)
>Sean: well that one was totally-
>Somebody Else Else: The posts apocalyptic mix of the Matrix and the Giver? (Equilibrium)
>Somebody: God, he died in the first session in that one, didn't he?
>Sean: now that's not even fa-
>Somebody Else: 5 bucks says he doesn't last 3 sessions
>Somebody Else Else: you're on!
>Sean: oh you guys are assholes...

>>15361972
but sir Barriston questions her afterwards so obviously he's not in on it
>>15361988
that was the militia and the townguard, not the royal guard
>>15361989
person with the highest authority was the king, the kings orders were very clear

>>15362032
Wait, Sean Bean was in Equilibrium?

>>15361980

Tyrion's debatable. He's perfectly respectable when it comes to women, excepting his sister, but he does many questionable things. He executes a bard for knowing he sleeps with a whore, he doesn't tell anyone that he suspects one of his own family crippled Bran, he knowingly besets a horde of mountain bandits in Tully lands, etc.

I'm more than willing to say that he has MORE integrity and honor than most in the Game of Thrones, but I would stop short of actually calling him honorable.

>>15362042
yeah, for five minutes or so

>>15362048
>but I would stop short
Argument invalidated.

>>15362029

Hey, Jaime is an asshole.

Just because you get into his head a bit doesn't make him less of an asshole.

>>15362064
>Jaime
Okay, I bet you are the Braun / Joffery guy. Please die.

>>15362042
Yeah, for all of the first five minutes before taking a bullet to the face. Blink and you miss him.

>>15362032

Good idea.

>>15362023

Joffrey is clearly an NPC. He's never at the center of any action (even though his fate is struggled with) and he doesn't go on adventures.

>>15362042

He was Batman's partner, the one that had emotions and got blammed 5min in to show what kind of guy Bale started as.

Come to think of it, all of those times his characters have died since they have gone against what they are supposed to:
Goldeneye: double '0' agent gone rogue
Equilibrium: "Cleric" gone emotional
LotR: sworn to protect Frodo, tried to take the ring anyway
GoT: honour is everything, sacrifices honour to save his daughter

What? He is! You just don't think so because he spends all his time being a dick to people you hate.

>>15362032
He didn't die in Silent Hill. OTOH he did spend the whole movie trying to catch up to the rest of the characters.

>>15362086
... holy shit. If they ever let him play an immutable paladin, he would be fucking unstopable!

>Remember at this point, the reader hasn't seen the characters' faces, so they don't need to be distinct yet.
This is bad design logic. Every player should have enough personality that, if a reader who has finished the work reads the first comic, they should be immediately able to identify who said what line based purely upon what each player would be most likely to say. Consistent, strong personalities throughout are what drive a comic like this to be worth reading, not cheap gags and the movie gimmick.

>>15362011
and that worked for darth and droids. op is referencing with this whole project but not copying their characters.
>>15362029
I approve. I had hoped that their would be at least one or two we can sympathize with besides the dm.I like the idea of all the characters besides them being petty and vengeance filled. it fits in game and out. The dm must being smiling to himself on occasion.

>>15362032

That joke does need to be there. Seriously.

>>15362094
Sorry, never saw it. But if he spent the whole time just looking for the other people, then "somebody else" should just say that he did nothing and so was as good as dead anyway.

for fucks sake his name is Bron

>>15362107

I think it would be funniest if the entire succession crisis comes up entirely because of Nick's being THAT GUY, and the DM being unprepared to deal with his asshattery.

I mean, think about it: the succession crisis has jack shit to do with the coming war with the Others. It's precisely the kind of snowballing derail that bad roleplayers do.

>>15362086
What about Sharpe?

>>15362135
I'm pretty sure that >>15362073 knows it's "Bron".
He pointed out the "Braun", "Joffery" and "Jaime".

>>15362160
>>15362135
Also, it's Bronn.

>>15362035
Thats because Sir Barristan was from the "Old" Kingsguard. They took their job extremely seriously.

Secondly Littlefinger bribed the Goldcloaks. As a group they are the town watch, but the best of the best also make up the Royal guard.

Thirdly the king was dead. and as is pointed out, loyalty to a dead man is often quite handily trumped by gold from a live one. The only person not bribed was Sir Barristan, simply because they knew he would not take it, which is also why they get rid of him later, because he is no longer completely trustworthy.

rolled 3583 = 3583

>>15362152

His first time DMing, where he makes a DMPC?

I vote that Bronn be a TV Troper. Why? Just because you need one of those. Bronn is highly aware of the setting he's in, and he's a fucking badass. There must be an explanation...

>>15362184

I was thinking of having Tyrion take the Leadership feat, and having Bronn be one of his hirelings. Barring that, the guy playing him could be one of Pete's friends.

Also, how does one work the Kinglsayer fact into Nick's backstory? Did he take at character creation, or was it through some random chart shennanigans?

>>15362199
He just randomly killed off a major plot NPC because he's THAT GUY. I mean, honestly, I've done the same.

SoIaF/GoT almost has too many potential Player Characters.

>>15362199

I had two ideas:

1. Nick wrote a really long backstory, detailing every awesome thing he's ever done, and the DM only just noticed that "killed King Aerys" was one of them.
2. It's the DM's hamfisted attempt to keep Nick's CHA bonus manageable. If everyone already knows and distrusts Nick's character, then it'll be harder for him to seduce, bluff and intimidate his way through the game.

>>15362223

For the Dothraki part of the campaign, Sean's character is Ser Jorah?

ASoIaF has way too many PC possibilities, jeez.

>>15362144
I approve.
>>15362197
leadership would work but it's more brotastic if it's an actual player. Either way could work honestly.

>>15362184
TV Troper? Badass? For serious?

>>15362212

If I did some rewriting of the first two comics, we could say that this current game is a continuation of a previous one, and mention how Nick killed the main quest giver (King Aerys, who's actually a really nice guy) as a running joke.

>>15362234

I don't get it

>>15362244

Not all tropes be scum of the earth. In moderate doses, it can lead to a sane amount of genre awareness.

Is the first season over? I might want to watch it now that it's all done.

>>15362253

>>15362249
I'd approve of this.

>>15362257

yes

>>15362226

Works for me!

Oh, I have an idea: have Jaime be like the That Guy in this story.

>>15362257
Indeed it is.

>>15362249

Ooh, I like that. It would explain a bit of the ridiculous backstory.

>>15362226
I personally approve of the second one. It seems like a good way to keep the power gamer under wraps.

>>15362249

>My Face When.

>>15362263
ow.... ow...

my brain... ow...

>>15362249

No... I think I like your first idea better. It has to be a new campaign with all new characters/players, otherwise it all gets too messy.
The DM trying to dumb-down Jaime's charisma is just too perfect.

Oh, and the DM should be named Martin.

>>15362313
His name is already George you retard

>>15362285
>>15362280
>>15362276

Okay, then. Jaime killed the questgiver in the previous campaign, and the DM is punishing him by inflicting penalties to his Charisma. We could also have Maisie (Arya) play Lyanna (explaining why they're so similar - she didn't want to roll up a new character) and have Kit play Rhaegar.

>>15362313

I'm using the actors' first names for the players' names. Sean Bean is Sean, Kit Harrington is Kit, etc., etc.

Besides, every time I read about someone bedding a whore or a thirteen-year-old Dany getting screwed by a Mongol, all I wanted to do was bang my head against a wall and say "Oh, George, no."

rolled 23585 = 23585

Another way to go about it is by having all the PCs everyone that dies in the books.

And the GM is a railroading bastard....?

But that might be difficult.

They should be playing A Song of Ice and Fire... Just sayin'...

>>15362320

Meh.

Oh, I just thought of something: playing off the fact that different people directed different episodes, let's have two DMs, one for Westeros and one for... whatever that other continent was called. George is the main one, but his younger brother Martin does the Dothraki part. Since he's new to DMing, he let's Emma walk all over him and get whatever she wants (it also doesn't help that he has a crush on her). Maybe Jorah is Sean or another veteran player that's trying to keep everything over there in control.

The lack of other players is due to the other's paying more attention to the more intense Westeros game. How about they all play minor characters (like the rich guy or Dany's bloodrider), but they never really do much since they care more about their other, 'real' characters.

In fact, most of this stuff could be told as occasional recaps, with Sean or whoever giving George the scoop on what's happening in the other campaign (ie, Jorah being a spy) so he can give pointers and compensate in his game.

Then, once the whole dragon thing happens and Martin's campaign gets awesome, the other players start to pay more attention to it.

Thoughts?

Just thought I'd toss this here...

>>15362392
Lol'd

>>15362376

The railroading bit is fine. I'd like Tyrion and Jaime to be PCs, though.

Some of the plot points (the zombie apocalypse, the Red Wedding, etc.) could be the DM's way of trying to force the players to go North, but no one other than Kit wants to.

>>15362392

>>15362390
that's possible. maybe , if the op is going to do mch at the wall. kit plays ser jorahand trys to keep things together. the rest should can be npcs and the rest of the group looks down on that game. but dragons are born shit gets real.

Another reason I think that you should do the wall and/or stuff across the narrow sea is because it wil pad out the story and keep it going for almost three times as long. it can tide you over until the next season comes out.

You should do dwarf's trial scene, loads of potential funny to be found there.

>>15362390

And the recaps are told at the beginning of each Westeros session. Emma also plays Sansa, and tries to play her like Dany (marrying the prince, being a mary sue), but the more experienced George won't let her get away with it and keeps blocking her. The result of this is that 'Sansa' mopes the whole time and is bored out of her mind in the main game sessions (complaining about how her Dany character is soooo much better and more interesting). It would also explain why she jumps for the Lanniser's bait so quickly, she thinks she's getting a chance to mary sue, but is really just being tricked into (hopefully) helping George railroad the characters north.

>>15362487

Trial scenes are always gold in RPGs. If any PC has watched any sort of legal drama, it gets hilarious.

Even better when they watch Boston Legal.

>>15362511

And guess what happens to be Pete's favorite show...

Alright, great ideas, everyone. I've got to go, but I'm going to send David Morgan-Mar an email and see if he's got any advice.

Here you go. It's got all the episodes of GoT so far, with multiple links for each episode. I think there's an option to download too, but all I've ever done is stream.

Enjoy!

>>15362591

I have HBO Go, so I can screencap for people. However, I don't have the photoshopping skills to do anything with them.

>>15362676
Eh, I suppose I could see them, if only to see if I can download them.

But using streams means I can't nitpick the video and choose carefully which expressions/shots I want to screencap.

>>15362716
I could link you to a german site hosting streams and DDLs. While being German, they provide the English version and the English version with German subs for you to choose from. Most of it is explained by pictures, so you should do fine. If you want the link tell me.

>>15362715
I'm the anon who said I would photoshop it, so no problem on that matter.

If you take any good expressions/shots related to the scprit, post them!
That can save lots and lots of time.

So, Baelish is like the ultimate DMPC, right?

>>15362740
I don't think Babyish plays by Player rules.

>>15362693
Tyrion is a total Mary Sue. Author intentionally made the character to be the most sympathetic character in the series to all the neckbeards out there. He's ugly, so that draws appeal from the neckbeard crowd because they automatically hate on everything beautiful, and they can easily see themselves in Tyrion's shoes because they also think themselves as ugly. At the very start of the first book, when it's pretty much evident that Starks are the main character, he's the only Lannister not shown to be a total dick, by acting all sympathetic towards Stark children, helping them out with advice and whatnot. Later, the character goes into conflict with other characters we the readers dislike. He sacks that corrupt city guard that betrayed Ned, he fucks over Pycelle, he fights with his sister for no apparent reason but to have the character endeared to the audience, since she's obviously the evil one. And by fighting with her, it makes it clearly appear he's the good one.

Yes, not all of his plans work. But a very large portion of plans do work, mostly because of his personal genius. He manages to free himself from the Vale, gets an army of his own, wins the fucking battle at King's Landing almost single-handedly, and yet he gets no respect at all for that from his family. It's like author is trying to shove the words LOOK HOW POOR THIS GUY IS HE ALWAYS DOES THE BEST BUT EVIL ENVIRONMENT KEEPS FUCKING WITH HIM, DON'T YOU FEEL SAD ABOUT HIM, HE'S SO GREAT HE'S SUCH A NICE FELLA SURROUNDED BY CUNTS, PITY AND LOVE THIS CHARACTER PLEASE.

Tyrion is a shitty, non-sensical author insert that shouldn't even exist because he fucks up the books, just like Dany and Jon do. If you like Tyrion, you're no better than Twilight fangirls. In fact, you're worse. Twilight fangirls are fourteen year old teenage girls. You, on the other hand, should know better.

Ding ding! Here comes the fun police!

A sympathetic character (and everyone, including professional reviewers, sympathizes with him) is not a Mary Sue. A Mary Sue is a badly written character with few or no flaws, doesn't suffer consequences for her actions and is a wish-fulfillment fantasy.

Tyrion is:
- Well developed, with detailed and believable motivations
- Flawed
- Loses often
- Someone I really wouldn't want to be.

Tyrion isn't a Mary Sue.

It's stated several times that they loathe each other.

The rest is mostly just you going "he's a total Mary Sue/Author Insert/Scrappy, look at me sling bullshit around by revising a bunch of plot points into a different light which totally can't be done for every character in the fucking books. Supporting my claims with well-thought out arguments is for suckers."

Yeah, I pretty much made my point. I know from the past that none of you fanboys will actually bother to refute anything, so I'll be leaving this shitty /v/ lite thread now. If you insist on enjoying shitty characters like Edward and Tyrion, guess there's no way for me to stop you from doing that, so have fun with that. But please, at least in the future avoid trying to sound elitist by hating on other Mary Sues when you're worshipping the biggest Mary Sue in the setting.

>>15362880
Thing is, you haven't made your point. You just don't like Tyrion, and are trying to desperately convince everyone else that he is a mary sue, yet offer no evidence to the contrary.

I mean, by your logic, every remotely likable character is a mary sue.

I sent an email to David Morgan-Mar, the guy who does Darths and Droids. I have no idea if he'll read it.

He seems pretty brotacular, though.

>>15362880
Do you even know what a Mary Sue is? How are they wish fulfillment? I suppose if all you've done is watched the first season you might think Tyrion is, but not knowing the character's story really hurts your point. And Eddard? Troll elsewhere.

>>15362931

He is, and I have to say, one of the funnier webcomic writers out there. Also, he makes the prequel trilogy make sense now.

>>15362952

I mentioned that.

Dear Mr. Morgan-Mar,

I'm a big fan of your comics. I've been reading Darths and Droids since it came out, and by far my favorite part of it - aside from the jokes, the frequent references to TV Tropes, the players and everything else - is that you've somehow managed to turn the Prequel Trilogy of Star Wars into something that actually makes sense.

In addition to being a fan of your comics, I'm also a big fan of George R. R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire," and the HBO series based on his books. A few guys over on /tg/ (who are also huge fans of your work) and I decided that the show was perfect for a DM of the Rings/Darths and Droids-style comic, and despite having no experience in the field of writing for comics, I've decided to try my hand at it.

I really have no idea what I'm doing, so I turn to the expert. On the off chance that you accept - let alone reply to - fan mail, do you have any advice to give?

Thank you for your time.

Regards,

[Anon]

Worth a bump, I think.

Thoros of Myr and Beric are totally characters in George's other group who occasionally pop into the main group and do some bullshit stuff.

George apparently forgot that the Red Priest class can raise people from the dead.

"This is bullshit, he can raise people from the dead and I can't play a dwarf?!"

Hey OP any idea what you're going to call your webcomic?
