Re: recent videogame chat, have you dug into Crusader Kings 2 or its ASOIAF mod at all? It suffers from the dehumanization of smallfolk in the way most largescale strategy games do, but otherwise seems strangely custom-built for the ASOIAF fandom. Never thought I’d find something where negotiating marriages to manipulate claims or facing an assassination plot from my treacherous son would be possible!
