Hi Barristan & welcome to the forums

Do you know what style/format this RPG will be? AD&D or something more modern?

Hi Winters_Sorrow, thanks for the welcome!

It will be released with 2 systems to use, both in the main rulebook. 1 is the d20 system, which is the current D&D mechanic. 2 is the Tri-stat system, this was created by the game publishers. They are very different rulesets, but will cater for almost everyones taste.

After this Deluxe edition, they will be released as 2 seperate books, one for each system. I already have my pre-order in for the Deluxe edition and was lucky enough to get one of the first 500, which means that it will be signed by GRRM!!!

This main rulebook will also be the sourcebook for AGOT adventures, with other books coming out periodically for the other novels. They spent a lot of time with westeros.org getting every detail right. It is also said that GRRM had to approve every word of it, to make sure it lived up to his high standard. I know of a few people who dont roleplay, but are buying this for the comprehensive companion to the novels.

Fantastic eh!

seems very good - shame it's limited to 500 copies though

oh well, I'll have to settle for an ordinary version

Do you know what they mean by Tri-Stat system - first time I've come across the name. Also do you have any idea of what sort of character classes will be available?
I'm guessing Hedge Knight, Landed Knight, Bloodrider, Mercenary, Pyke Sea Reaver but any other interesting ones? (A Faceless Man might be intriguing...

)

I think the best thing you can do would be to look at the Forum for the AGOT game. Go to http://www.guardiansorder.com/boards...splay.php?f=23

You'll see my name pop up on the boards there too.

The Deluxe version is a run of 1000 books, but only the first 500 are signed, so if you wanted to get a "regular" one you could email them to ask.
