GAME OF THRONES CCG NOMINATED FOR ORIGINS AWARD
The good folks at Fantasy Flights Games have been doing a wonderful job with the
collectible card game based on A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE, and it looks as though
I'm not the only one to think so. The game has been nominated for the
prestigious Origins Award, the Hugo of the gaming industry.
The Origins Awards are hobby game industry awards given each year for many
different categories of games. The nominees are chosen by the members of GAMA
(the Game Manufacturers Association) but the winner of each category is
determined by fan voting.
The GAME OF THRONES collectible card game is one of five finalists for Best New
Trading Card Game, and the first expansion set, A SEA OF STORMS, has been
nominated as Best Card Game Expansion.
Needless to say, I'm delighted. The guys from Fantasy Flight impressed me from
the first with their enthusiasm, their expertise, and their obvious knowledge of
Westeros and my world. I had every hope that they would do a terrific game, and
it seems they have... so that sound you hear is me, giving a rousing hand of
applause to Eric Lang, Brian Wood, Christian Petersen, and the rest of the crew
at Fantasy Flight, and all the wonderful artists who have helped them bring the
Seven Kingdoms to life.
The Origins Award is decided by fan vote. If you've played and enjoyed the
Fantasy Flight ccg of A GAME OF THRONES and would like to see it win, you should
cast your vote at:

TWO GRRM DRAGONS
The gaming magazine DRAGON is offering a double dip of Westeros for fans of A
SONG OF ICE AND FIRE.
The current issue of DRAGON (#305) includes "The Arms of the Kraken," a
novella-length excerpt from A FEAST FOR CROWS, illustrated by Justin Sweet. The
novella tells the story of the fight for the driftwood crown of the Iron Islands
in the aftermath of the events of A STORM OF SWORDS. This is the March issue of
the magazine, on sale at newsstands and bookshops from coast to coast... but if
you'd like to read the novella, you had better snap up a copy soon, since the
April issue will soon be taking its place.
That's only the opening act, however. The May DRAGON (issue #307) will be a
special Westeros issue. A spendid cover painting, by Hugo-nominated artist
Donato Giancola, depicts everybody's favorite red priestess, Melisandre of
Asshai. Inside, readers will find art and articles about the world of the Seven
Kingdoms, including scenarios and suggestions for role-playing campaigns set on
the Wall, or amongst the backstabbers and intriguers of King's Landing. The
issue will also feature a full-color fold out map of Westeros, north and south,
and a brand new interview with yours truly.
