When I first discovered what an After Action report (or AAR) is, I wanted to do one. Part fanfic and part Let's play, they are always fun to read, but, unfortunately, they are not done very often anymore.
I hit on the idea of doing Crusader kings 2 because it is a slow paced game, so not very compatible with a video format, but intrigue runs rampant throughout as you vie for power against other lords while trying to keep your own vassals in line, making for organic storytelling. Religion complicates things, as do factions and assasination plots. All in all, battles aren't the only source of juicy tension and story here.
All of this makes for a very good read, but how do you make an even bigger political minefield, with even more scheming vassals and general shit to deal with?
The answer is simple: move the game to Westeros.
Ladies and gentlemen, sharpen your swords, mount your horses, and raise your banners in hate of Jeoffery, 'cause Monday, 8 pm PDT, my after action report for The Game of Thrones mod for Crusader Kings 2 begins.
