House Building

In this thread, the group will design the house the group's characters will be members of. Some will be blood, but others might not. We will be following the rules from the book in regards to how we create the house and lands that will be the group's home base.

And as the focus of this campaign will be on ruling the house, it will be a place of great importance.

The first step here is to choose the Realm in which your house is located: King's Landing, Dragonstone, The North, The Iron Islands, The Riverlands, The Mountains of the Moon, The Westerlands, The Reach, The Stormlands, or Dorne.

Is there a specific Realm you would prefer or is there one you would like to avoid? Or would you prefer that it is completely random?

My preference would be the Iron Islands. Pirates, the Old Way, the Drowned God, every captain a king on his own deck? Sounds like a great opportunity to me.

If I had a preference it would be the Mountains of the Moons, the Riverlands or the Reach.

I'd prefer not to to play in the North due to overexposure. As far as the iron islands I currently don't have a character concept in mind for that culture.

I like the idea of the Iron Islands also it gives more  solo flexibility if we need. As stated we  can be all  from  the same House  but Captain of our own vessels etc.

Are we looking at playing in the current era, ie Robert's Rebellion? Or, is there another era that people prefer.  Asking mainly because it might affect where I'd like to start a house.

In the standard era, I think...from most to least favored.

The Vale
Stormlands
Westlands (I have specific thoughts on this one more than general)
The Reach
Dorne
King's Landing
Iron Islands - just kind of meh on the whole concept of pirating and raiding things.
The North - so tired of the North lol

This game will overlap the timeline we saw in the TV show, but those events are not fixed as your actions could change them.

But as was shown in the source material, your character may also die. There is no plot armor for the PCs.

I’d prefer to start in the Vale or Reach. I’m not really fond of the Iron Islands.
I guess the storm lands could be interesting too.

So till now we have:

The Vale- 3
Iron Island- 2
Riverlands- 1
The Reach- 2
Stormlands- 1
Westerlands- 1


We don’t want:

North- 2
The Iron Islands- 3 (one doesn’t have a character concept)

So till now it’s the Vale, is that something everyone could agree on?
The Vale would be great for ensuring a keep or even castle and to have someone interesting to fight without having to start a war (the mountain clans)
