Game of Thrones 2nd ed. Getting ready to host

MrBody

So I'm prepping to host the 2nd. edition. The Wildling deck is public on Hand Tracker. Anyone who wants to double check it is welcome.

One thing I'm having trouble with is locating all the House Cards online. The best I can find is this but it's a little vague on some of the cards:

If anyone knows where I can find the full cards, or if they have a physical copy themselves and could just clarify what some of the more vague cards from the above image really mean.

Other than that it looks like I could start hosting later today or tomorrow.

Hrrm. Actually, for copyright purposes and such we ask that hosts own the games they are hosting, or at the LEAST that someone who is playing has a copy. We're trying to make it possible for people to play their games when they don't have a local group, not encourage piracy of the game-makers' intellectual property.

Might want to put this on hold until you hook up with a player who owns the game.

MrBody

I was about to head out to my local mall with game store...

...AND I did just get a hefty income tax refund...

Here are all of the house cards.

And I DO own the game, if that makes any difference at all.

Hoo boy, I ending up picking up GoT AND Rex. Gonna be rough convincing my group to play with the right amount of players, but at the very least I can set it up and make playing along online easier to keep track of.

Mr. Mojo Risin

I would most likely be interested in playing if you get this going although I've never played before, It's on my list of stuff to try before I buy because I think it would be a hard sell to any of my friends.

Just an fyi: The game is fairly imbalanced if it isn't played with 6 players.

38thDoe

I'm also a new player who is interested in playing.

sartori

I would be interested in either playing as a House, or partnering with a newer player to play a House. I've owned the 1st ed + Clash of Kings for 5+ years, and have rarely gotten to play it with 6.

Harlon

You can count me as someone who would be interested as playing alone or joining up with a new player. If it matters, I own the game and have played 2 games (one with six players, one with five).

SeGaTai

I would definitely be interested but am involved in enough games that I should probably Reserve for now

MrBody

This is likely going up tonight or tomorrow afternoon. Forgive my selfishness for wanting to host AND play, but there aren't any other hosts at the moment and I don't think we could squeeze out enough players for 2 games at the moment.

So far then we have:

-Me
-Mojo
-38th Doe
-Sartori (solo or partner)
-Harlon (solo or partner)
-Segatai (reserve only?)

Darian

I can serve as dedicated neutral for the host to PM his orders and for battles involving the host, if needed.

@stever777 mentioned possibly hosting a game of this in another thread.

MrBody

Putting finishing touches on right now. The only thing is I had trouble finding any decent icons online of House Banners, at least in the format that I could use them for board icons, so right now I'm just using generic solid color shields. If anyone could link to usable banner icons I can get to photoshopping them in.

Here's the sample setup right now.



Crude icons I know, but I'm actually starting to think they'll work by standing out better.

Finishing up the rest of it soon. Feedback for tweaks always welcome.

Mr. Mojo Risin

I would probably prefer a partner if theres a few more sign ups but I can stumble my way through fine im sure.

jakobagger

Is it too late to sign up? I'd love to play. I own the game and have played it several times.

Styyx

Oh yah, I'd love to sign up as well.

SeGaTai

I can certainly advise mojo

MrBody

Ok here's the final board setup.



Anyone familiar with the game's setup feel free to point out any mistakes I made. Otherwise going to start soon.

EDIT: Oh wow I already fucked up the supply count. I'll fix it but someone more experienced with this game (played more than zero) should check what else I fucked up.

EDIT EDIT: aaaand by checking the physical map I realize the one I was using was some joker importing the old 5 player map. This is gonna take some time...

jakobagger

Edit: man, I totally thought this was the game thread, and you were still having trouble with the map. I spent five minutes looking for a map image! Maybe I should do less drugs. Or more.
