ooooh, i like the first one

Would you like it to be more of a "free for all, pick your favorite" or "x vs x, fight to the death" tournament?

what do you mean?

Well, maybe I'm overthinking it, but due to the plethora of non-violent great characters, I had two different scenarios in mind. One where I would pick Daenarys over someone like Janos Slynt because I love her, and one where I rationally know Janos would make quick work of her 1 on 1.

Just decide on 64 and let the chips fall or?

I mean he has the Golden Company at his back now which is a hint towards that, but I've never really bought into it despite that.

They talk a bit in WOIAF about many people looking across the narrow sea to the Blackfyres during Aerys I's reign with the drought and the aftermath of the Spring Sickness and distrust of Bloodraven, et al. And that has me thinking of people looking across the sea now for Dany's return. So if the dragon has three heads could it be Dany/(F)Aegon/Jon?

If R+L=J they're all blood of the dragon, and a joining of Targ/Blackfyr could parallel a joining of Stark/Snow if Jon's parentage is confirmed and he's legitimized.

Sorry this is such a stream of conscious type post.

yes, he's very likely a fake dragon according to prophecies/premonitions dany has had

I tried to stick with characters we have had good interaction or first hand knowledge of, rather than hearsay of greatness through another character or legend(Arthur Dayne, Garlan Tyrell, Brandon Stark, Howland Reed)

I would like to keep the total number at 64, so if you suggest anyone to add, go ahead and pick one to drop.

I'd put Euron and Jon Con in the warrior part even though they're more or less politically motivated

The back end of the players gets a little sketchy. It may need to be cut to 16.

Gawd... What a cast.... And there's so many more!

And here I thought kouse was spending less time on RM because he was spending more time with his wife. :/

Hey I did that while laying in bed with my wife last night. That's spending time, right?

She was engrossed in Vampire Diaries so she didn't give a shit.

Haha, yeah. Lots of internetting gets done by me thanks to shows I don't care to watch.

So if Brienne is an offshoot of Ser Duncan the Tall, will she slay (F)Aegon?

i doubt that ever comes into play. i think her stature and shield choice are just cool easter eggs that flesh out the world

her role right now is basically to keep her oath to lady stark and to renly

I'm playing through the Game of Thrones video game right now and it is really wanting me to go back and revisit the books.

Yeah I know. But who knows where everyone is going to stand come ADOS.

I'm excited for her storyline regarding Renly though, because I can see her getting north to take care of Stannis by heading that way with Stoneheart and the BWOB which would be fucking badass.
