Hi guys, a friend and I have set out to create rules (and potentially models) for the notable people and their families found within Game of Thrones. I'll update the posts with the models in a groups depending on their family/region. Any c&c would be appreciated. Here's House Stark:

House Stark

Winter is coming

Eddard Stark, Catelyn Stark, Robb Stark, Jon Snow, Sansa Stark, Arya Stark, Bran Stark, Rickon Stark, Jory Cassel and Ser Rodrick Cassel may all be included in the House Stark Warband.

W/W/F 3/3/3

Wargear: Heavy Armour and Ice (Ice is a two handed great sword forged from Valyrian steel, the largest of its kind; only a man such as Ned has the strength and ability to wield such a blade. Ice is a two handed sword that does not suffer the -1 modifier to hit in close combat. In addition to this, any natural roll of a 6 to wound will immediately cause an addition wound. Due to the magics used in the process of forging this blade Ice cannot be destroyed or broken by any special rules or magical powers of any kind.

Special Rules:
• Fearless
• Winter is coming: The men of the north are constantly aware of the coming of the long winter and thus are always prepared, none more so than Ned. To represent this the controlling player may reroll a single priority role once per game.

Wargear: Heavy Armour and Two-handed Sword

Special Rules:
• Headstrong: Then Greatjon is known throughout the North as a man who fights with vigour and ferocity, often dismissing the tactical option in order to get in the thick of it. Once per game Jon may call a heroic combat or heroic fight for free. However this will not affect named heroes as they see the folly in joining a combat which may not be advantageous.

• Your meat, is bloody tough: The Greatjon, a man thick with muscle and nearly 7 feet tall is able to shrug of the worst of pain as if it were a scratch. Jon may reroll his fate save if it is not successful.

A 2
W 2
C 5
M/W/F 2/3/2

Wargear: Heavy Armour and Sword

Special Rules:
• Cold cunning: Roose Bolton has a skill for strategy and a sharp mind to match. Cold and calculating, Roose is often relied upon to command sections of the battle field where other men may falter under the pressure. Although Roose is softly spoken his words demand the attention of his followers and comrades. Roose has 12” “Stand Fast”.

• Lord of the Dreadfort: The Dreadfort is ill-omened, for it is said that the Boltons keep torture chambers and a special room where they hang the flayed skins of their enemies, some even believing that they still have the skin of several Stark kings. The mere presence of Roose Bolton can cause doubt in the enemies as they know if they don’t win, they will suffer a fate worse than death. Roose causes terror. In addition to this any terror test made when charging Roose is always made at -1.

A lot of thought has been put into this. Great work, those special rules are also very well though out. Recently there was a post with a kickstarter for Game of Thrones miniatures I suggest you check them out.

Where is this? I'm definately interested as Game of Thrones is one of the most enjoyable books I have found since the Lord of the Rings.

Also a quick question, I noticed that all of the direwolves have different profiles, while I understand the female direwolves were more laid back and not so war hungry as Summer, shaggy dog, Ghost and Grey Wind was. I'm not sure why you made those three male direwolves different? Why I say this is because from what I remember they were all three extremely vicious and each were fairly large to be about equal in strength? I was just wondering on your thoughts on this as I would have probably made them all the same profile and point value, except maybe Ghost as from what I got from my reading Ghost was in my opinion, very intelligent and I want to say cunning for the direwolves.

Just wondering, good thoughts though from what I could tell!

Pretty Damn Good!! However i think the shields as they are in lotr should be 1 point and not 2, and some units seem OP and some under powered. I personally think Jon's profile should be upped but that may be because his my favourite character haha.

I thought about making them the same, but I thought the uniqueness of each wolf would be nice and fun to play on the table. All the direwolves were strong and potentially all equally dangerous, however the wolves all began to develop traits that made them unique. For example Ghost was initially the smallest of the wolves, never spoke and often went hunting (Knights Watch version) so to represent this I gave him the cloak and woodland creature. Shaggydog, later in the book becomes aggressive which is representative of Rickon's emotional state (he bites Luwin and the blacksmith (the dog, not the boy) ), so thus the gone wild! special rule seemed fitting. Lady could be considered the mildest of the 6 wolves so I made her slightly weaker in combat.

If you do have any specifics which you think should be changed please let me know =). More will be coming soon with Kings Landing next.

This is the best! I'm reading Blood and Gold right now and I think your profiles really match with the characters. I can't wait for more.

I reckon for House Stark add in Theon, Maester Luwin, and some of Ned's/Rob's Bannermen.

Like it,
but some things are really overpowered,
I can take for example a sansa stark and a knight with shield and bodyguard for 50 points in total and you can call each turn a heroic move for free, and if sansa gets wounded you have free fate.
while catelyn is really overpriced for 55 points
and rob stark is overpowerd because 12" banner......

Lucas

I like these very much. You've clearly thought them through, and match the characters well.

I think with Jon's sword Longclaw, you should add in double wounds against spirits and undead. As his blade is Valyrian Steel (Dragonsteel) and undead being vulnerable to this.

I think next you should do Theon, the Greatjon and Luwin. Or perhaps another noble family.

Link for the topic on the Kickstarter. It's a Song of Ice and Fire, based on the books and not the series though

_________________
I started to walk around without shoes...

I agree with you on these points.


Changed it to only 1 point of either m/w/f.


A drop of 5 points may help to alleviate this.


Im okay with him being a 12" banner. We already have that with Imrahil though that is only for two units. But I bumped him up 5.

This is great and really well thought out! Just wondering whether your going to change the stats for the men at arms and knights depending on their household e.g lannisters have heavy armour due to their families wealth.

This is simply amazing. Truly, the GoT setting fits the LotR SBG rules perfectly. The new rules are also very nicely thought through. Definitely one I'll keep an eye on!

2014 Oathtaker (-2 points)

Hi, your not alone in thinking of this however,

Firstly, Robb is not called Robbert, Robb is the full word.

Secondly, shields on warriors should be 1pt as 2pts is too high since 50% of the time +1 Defence makes no difference

Thirdly, Warm clothing is not armour, Rickon should be defence 2, much like a Hobbit.

Fourthly, if a Knight becomes a Hero, his points must become a multiple of 5.

Fifthly, why the Sansa bashing? Jon and Sansa get along fine so he should benefit from her heroic actions and stand-fasts.

Sixthly, Jon is not called John, Jon is as long as the word gets.

Seventhly, Hodor should just be "Resistant to Magic"

Eighthly, this thread is in the wrong place, it should be in House Rules.

And that, I think, concludes my response, if I think on anything else, I'll come back here.

this is in the Summer profile. is this suppoed to mean Ghost or Summer? i assume Summer as Ghost was silent.

_________________

This is great but i think the Ned profile is a bit off, a few pointers:

Give him 3 fate, i disagree with GW profiles that give dead characters 1 fate but at least in Middle Earth people tend to die in combat - giving some excuse to Boromir/Azog having no fate. Ned on the other hand is a legendary war veteran who deserves all 3 points of fate.

Introvert: Ned's reluctance to participate in childlike tournaments has created much speculation as to his true skill in combat. As such most men are reluctant to take any risks against him - models in combat with Ned can never have their fight value raised above their printed value.

Northern Honour: Ned has a reputation for being brave, noble, trustworthy, and just. Good men respect him and cowards tremble at his mention. Ned causes terror, has resistance to magic, and any model wanting to charge Ned who has a courage of 5 or more suffers a -2 penalty to their courage test (this represents the decent people not wanting to lock blades with good ol Ned)

Oh and one more thing, if you make Ned Stark such a good fighter,even though he supposed to be an average swordsman (according to GRRM), are people like Jaime Lannister and Loras Tyrell going to be Fight 8-9, with Gregor and Sandor Fight 10?

_________________
"I am the Flying Spagetti Monster. Thou shall have no other monsters before me"
-FSM.

An 'average swordsman' doesn't survive two wars on the frontline and a duel with Arthur Dayne. Keep in mind he would have been trained by the same chaps who taught Robert how to fight - and Robert is like Dwalin on crack.

This is a good point. Ned was a good fighter but not war hungry like Robert, Although his true combat ability was never really brought out in the books, since he never had the true opportunity to fight, and all the times it was referenced to his past in those wars were from his point of view and you could easily see that he was being humble saying better men died then him. Or he could really mean that and they could have been better then him and a certain amount of luck was involved.




This is also a good point, as Jaime up until the loss of his hand was the most skilled swordsmen in Westros, I think he should have a higher fight then either Gregor or Sandor. Gregor and Sandor were more brutally strong then skilled, after all your not called a mountain for nothing. I would give those two higher strength then Jamie, Not higher fight although they were still good fighters in the sense and don't deserve to have next to no fight value, just Jamie should be higher. Loras is kinda a weird character, I would probably put him with a fight value smaller then Jamie and either equal or maybe one above Gregor or Sandor.


Although these are both very good points gentlemen this is just my thoughts.

_________________
Who ever said swimming was easier then running never swam a 400 I.M.

No, he mostly lead from the rear he wasn't a Robert, and he didn't fight Dayne single-handedly, he needed the help of Howland Reed to beat him. In the books, Ned is a competent fighter nothing more, GRRM has said so too when asked, officially. The training alone did not make Robert that way, it was genetics too. I blame the show a lot for making Ned more badass, he certainly was not in the books and anyone who says otherwise is mistaken.

Here are what GRRM has to say on the subject:
